What's God Got To Do With It? With Leanne Ellington

Unexpected Chapters: How God Re-Authored Her Purpose  (With Rachel Joy Baribeau)

In today’s episode of What’s God Got to Do With It? we’re diving deep into a struggle we’ve all faced: comparison. Whether it’s scrolling through Instagram, seeing someone else’s success, or feeling like you’re falling short in your own faith walk, comparison is a sneaky thief that steals our joy, gratitude, and connection to God.

Leanne explores the real cost of comparison—how it can plant seeds of envy and even make us question God’s goodness—and explore practical, faith-filled steps to break free. From practicing radical gratitude (and the neuroscience behind how it rewires your brain!) to celebrating others without comparison, we’ll learn how to turn jealousy into connection and curiosity. Most importantly, we’ll anchor ourselves in God’s truth, reminding ourselves of the unique and beautiful plans He has for each of us.

If you’re ready to stop letting comparison steal your peace and start walking confidently in your own God-given path, this episode is for you, because What God has for you is yours.

The Real Cost of Comparison: How Envy and Jealousy Affect Your Faith Walk

Today we tackle a challenge that so many of us face but don’t always talk about: how to find true peace in a world overflowing with noise and overstimulation. From the constant pings of our phones and the never-ending news cycle to the mental chatter that never seems to quiet down, it feels like we’re surrounded by chaos. And even when life demands us to be present, the pressure of endless stimulation makes it nearly impossible to find the stillness our souls crave.

Join Leanne as we dive into the reality of navigating this noise. She shares her personal journey of learning to silence the external chaos and reconnect with the present, as well as stories from clients who’ve faced similar battles. Together, we’ll explore practical steps to turn down the volume of life’s distractions and create moments of stillness where we can reconnect with ourselves and hear God’s whisper amidst the noise. Because peace isn’t about removing all the noise—it’s about finding calm and connection even when life is anything but quiet.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or simply exhausted by life’s constant demands, this episode will help you reclaim your peace and find sacred spaces in your everyday life, so you can turn up the volume on what truly matters.
