Compared to Who? Body Image for Christian Women

Is Self Love Biblical?

In this episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore invites listeners to take a deeply-needed exhale from the relentless messages around body image and self-worth that the world sends our way. Building on the "Waiting for Weight Loss" series, Heather opens up about her own struggles with feeling valuable through fitness and body changes, and the letdown that follows when external goals don’t bring the internal peace we’re promised.

Heather dives into the concept of "monetized insecurity"—the way industries profit from our feelings of inadequacy—and breaks down why finding your worth in God, not in weight loss or body perfection, is the only path that leads to real security and rest.

You’ll walk away with:


Practical breathwork exercises for grounding and relaxation


A guided prayer for internalizing your true value


An honest look at cultural lies vs. God’s unchanging truth about your worth


Reflective questions to revisit whenever you need a reminder that you are already loved, worthy, and enough

Key Question:

Whose message is easier for you to believe: monetized insecurity or God's message of worth beyond what you measure?
