Rivalries, Sisters, and Comparison: A Biblical Look

Do you have a rival? Hannah in the Bible did. As did Rachel and Leah. Today we look at rivalries, competitions, and comparisons that happen between women. Whether you’ve always been compared to a rival sister or cousin, or whether or not you’ve just found yourself in competition with a woman at church or at work, this episode is for you!

Today, Heather explores the stories of Hannah from 1 Samuel and of Rachel and Leah from Genesis 29-30. She talks about how detrimental it is for us to get caught up in rivalries and offers three things to do if you find yourself in a competition or comparison trap with another woman.

Listen to other episodes about Rachel and Leah and women of the Bible from the Compared to Who? show.

An Inspired Challenge for Wives This Father's Day - Today Can Be Different
Consider asking your husband how you can pray for him each day. (If the father of your children doesn’t live with you, for whatever reason, remember to put him on your prayer list too.) Your husband wants nothing more than to succeed, but he probably struggles with issues he’s afraid to admit, even to himself. He may feel insecure about being a dad, especially if he didn’t have the benefit of a good role model. Or maybe he feels more like an understudy because he’s “only” a stepdad.
