In this encouraging episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, host Heather Creekmore delves deep into the ever-present fear of missing out—aka FOMO. As part of the “Fear Free Fall” series, Heather unpacks the spiritual roots of FOMO, exploring how it impacts our faith, contentment, and even our relationship with God.

Heather explains that FOMO isn’t just a modern phenomenon brought on by social media; it goes back as far as the Garden of Eden. Through honest reflection and biblical truth, she challenges listeners to consider whether FOMO is really about doubting God’s goodness and wondering if He’s holding out on us.

You’ll learn:


Why FOMO can reveal a lack of “little faith” in your daily life


The connection between social media envy and spiritual insecurity


How the story of Adam and Eve perfectly illustrates our struggle with FOMO


Why God’s timing isn’t the same as God’s favor, and what that means for you


The myth of competition and the futility of trying to “win” at life through comparison


How to stop chasing others’ dreams and dig into your unique, God-given calling


What true abundance and blessing really look like—and how it differs from what social media promises

Heather encourages listeners to stop focusing on someone else’s life and instead trust that God’s plan for YOU is personal, intentional, and truly satisfying. If comparison has kept you feeling “less than,” this episode offers authentic hope and practical gospel wisdom to help you stop comparing and truly start living.
