In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, Ralph tackles a challenge that so many of us face: feeling stuck on a treadmill of trying to match the success, possessions, and lifestyles of others. From social media envy to neighborhood competition, he breaks down why this pattern is so draining to our peace, our purpose, and our wallets — and how to reclaim a sense of confidence and gratitude rooted in biblical wisdom. Ralph shows you how to break free and truly escape the comparison trap.
