The Comparison Trap - Who Decides How I See? - May 2026 // Scott Landry

We all feel the need for approval. Whether we admit it or not, we look to people, platforms, and performance to tell us that we’re okay. But when approval becomes our reference point, our sense of worth is always at risk. In Part 2 of The Comparison Trap, we’ll examine who - or what - has the power to shape how you see yourself, and whose opinion is really worth trusting.

The Comparison Trap - The Land of Er - May 2026 // Scott Landry

We all want to be rich-er, smart-er, or funny-er. Comparison convinces us that if we just had a little more - what they have - we’d finally be satisfied. It fuels insecurity when we’re behind and arrogance when we’re ahead. But comparison isn’t a ladder to climb; it’s a game designed with no winners. In Part 1 of The Comparison Trap, we uncover why measuring ourselves against others always leaves us empty, no matter where we land.

Don't Worry - The Weight Of Worry - May 2026 // Scott Landry

Why does worry feel so relentless - like a weight we can’t ever fully put down? Often it’s because we’ve taken responsibility for things that were never ours to carry in the first place. We try to control outcomes, secure the future, and solve problems that are far bigger than our ability to manage. The more we hold onto what we can’t control, the heavier life begins to feel. As we conclude this series, we’ll uncover a freeing truth: peace begins when we release the burdens that were never meant for us. As we learn to trust God with what is beyond our control, something powerful happens - pressure lifts, perspective returns, and worry begins to lose its grip. If you’re tired of carrying tomorrow on your own shoulders, this message offers a hopeful invitation: you don’t have to carry it alone.

Don't Worry - Between Now and Then - April 2026 // Scott Landry

“What if?” One of the most common traps of worry is imagining a future we think we can predict, and letting that imagined future control how we feel today. When fear takes over, we lose sight of what’s true, forget the moments we’ve already come through, and end up mentally and emotionally far from where we were meant to be. As we conclude this series, this message invites you to step back, remember what’s real, and re-engage with life from a place of strength rather than fear. You’ll discover how worry distorts your perspective, how it pulls you out of the present, and how you can reclaim peace by focusing on what’s in front of you today while releasing what you can’t control about tomorrow. If you feel weighed down by “what ifs,” this message offers a grounding reminder: you can live with clarity, confidence, and calm - even when the future feels uncertain.

Don't Worry - The Switch - April 2026 // Scott Landry

Why does worry grow so quickly, feel so heavy, and seem so impossible to turn off? Part 2 reveals a surprising insight: worry expands in the direction of whatever we pursue most.

But there’s a better way. This session offers a powerful shift: redirecting your devotion. When you stop running after the things that fuel your fear and instead align your energy with a purpose bigger than your own security, something incredible happens—worry loses its grip. Confidence rises. Clarity returns. Tomorrow stops feeling so overwhelming. You’ll discover a practical, freeing approach to navigating uncertainty: do what you can today, release what you can’t control tomorrow, and focus your heart on what truly matters.
