Eat Don’t Compete with Jazmine DeWees

After Wrestling with Discontentment… I Had to Redefine Success | Luke 12:15

There was a point where I had to stop and ask myself a real question…Why do I want what I want?
This is the second installment in our series about success. When I got honest, I realized what looked like ambition on the outside… was rooted in something deeper on the inside.
In this episode, we’re slowing down and sitting with Luke 12:15, where Jesus gives a warning that challenges how we define success, contentment, and what really matters.
“Watch out… be on guard against all greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”
This isn’t just about money.This is about motives.This is about what’s driving you.
We’re unpacking:
What greed actually is (biblically, not culturally)
Why discontentment reveals more than we think
How success can’t be defined outside of God’s will
What it means to truly be content in Christ
If you’ve been striving, comparing, or quietly feeling like “it’s still not enough”… this conversation is for you.
This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you.

Have You Ever Wrestled with Discontentment? It Made Me Rethink Success as a Christian

If you’ve ever quietly wondered “Why do I feel behind?”… this conversation is for you.
In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, we begin a new series exploring what success actually means for a Christian. Many of us come into the faith carrying definitions of success that were shaped by culture, ambition, productivity, and comparison. But over time, God begins to expose the tension between worldly success and biblical faithfulness.
In this episode, I open up about my own wrestle with discontentment, selfish ambition, and redefining success through the lens of Christ.
We talk about:
Why ambitious Christians often struggle with discontentment
How comparison and misplaced value systems lead to dissatisfaction
What Luke 12:15 reveals about covetousness and contentment
Why defining success the wrong way will always leave us off balance  
The difference between hustling for success and stewarding what God gives
This episode lays the foundation for a larger series where we’ll explore:
Biblical success
Joshua 1:7–8 and God's definition of success
Christian fruitfulness vs worldly achievement
Faithfulness, obedience, and stewardship
If you've ever wrestled with feeling like you're not doing enough, not achieving enough, or not moving fast enough in life or ministry — you're not alone.
This conversation is about learning to fix our eyes on Christ so we can live faithfully without constantly redefining success according to the world. Scripture Mentioned Luke 12:15 Philippians 4:11–13

Anchored In… Hebrews 12:1–2 | What If Your Spiritual Fatigue Is Actually Distraction?

Before you ask God for strength, ask Him what needs to be laid down. Hebrews 12:1–2 changes how we endure, let's get into today's anchoring passage.
This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you.
Hebrews 12 calls us to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us, and to run with endurance the race set before us.
But what if some of our spiritual fatigue isn’t attack — it’s distraction? What if we’re carrying things we were never assigned to carry? If you’ve been feeling heavy, stagnant, or spiritually tired — this reflection is for you.
Thank you for sitting in Scripture with me today. If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who may be feeling weary in their race. And if you’re walking through these Anchored In devotional episodes with me, I’m grateful you’re here.
We’ll continue anchoring ourselves in the Word, together.
