I’m so thankful for the opportunity to have this conversation with Heather Creekmore on the Compared to Who? podcast about the topic of my new book, Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible, releasing with Moody Publishers!! (Order your copy here.)

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying around a measuring scoop, constantly evaluating whether you’ve done enough, been enough, or measured up? In this conversation with Heather Creekmore, we explore how our tendency to judge ourselves can quietly shape the way we see others—and how both can keep us from fully embracing God’s grace.

Heather and I talk about what Jesus really meant when He said, “Judge not,” and why biblical discernment is different from a critical spirit. I share how perfectionism often disguises itself as spiritual maturity when it’s actually rooted in pride—whether that pride shows up as thinking too highly of ourselves or not highly enough.

Most importantly, we discuss God’s invitation to stop obsessing over our performance and start walking with Him instead. Because the Christian life isn’t about keeping score or checking every box—it’s about trusting the God whose grace meets us right where we are.
