Have you ever felt like you just can’t measure up—to a sibling, a co-worker, or even your own expectations? You’re not alone. In this deeply relatable episode, Joe unpacks the often-overlooked story of James, the younger brother of Jesus, and what it means to grow up in the shadow of perfection.

From living alongside someone who literally never did anything wrong to openly doubting who Jesus truly was, James' journey is one of struggle, transformation, and ultimately, powerful purpose. Joe draws a compelling connection between our modern battles with comparison and the remarkable shift that occurred in James’ life after encountering the risen Christ.

You’ll walk away with a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and assurance that you don’t have to measure up—you just have to surrender. God can do extraordinary things with an ordinary, surrendered life. Just ask James.

Whether you're wrestling with loss, feeling spiritually stuck, or just in need of a fresh perspective, this episode offers encouragement, purpose, and a moving reminder that your life is meant for more.
