UncommonTEEN for Christian Teen Girls

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here! Okay, so I know that I’m not the only one who has ever done this. So I want to know, have you ever walked into a room, saw another girl in that room and then began to compare yourself to her. I don’t mean from an, “I’m better than you attitude,” but from an, “I wish I was more (BLANK) like her” attitude. For example, “I wish I was thin like her. She doesn’t even have to try.” Or “It’s not fair. That girl is so beautiful. I wish I could look like her.” Or maybe you have thought to yourself not so much about the way someone else looks, but maybe about their personality, “I wish I was more like her. She can just walk into a room, not know anybody and yet it seems like everyone is instantly friends with her.” The problem is that, if we aren’t cautious, we can get stuck in what I call The Dreaded Comparison Trap. And let me tell you, the Comparison Trap is not a place you want to be. Actually, I would even say that the comparison trap can be a very dangerous place to be. You may be thinking, “Dangerous? Really? Come on. You’re being dramatic. Yeah, maybe…haha…but in all seriousness, it actually can be a dangerous place because instead of you seeing yourself as the incredibly beautiful and unique creation that God created you to be, you can start to wish you were someone else…someone that God never intended you to be.

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here! UncommonTEEN is a ministry especially for Christian teen girls. My heart is to help you really see who it is that God created you to be. God created you so beautifully and He sees you as valuable. In a world that tells us that we are worthless and that we don’t have a voice, it’s so important for us to truly understand that that’s a lie from the enemy and that God says something completely different about you. In UncommonTEEN, we want to see you overcome insecurities that are holding you back. We want to help you discover how to make true friends while avoiding toxic relationships. We want to walk you through the challenges that you are facing in a very practical way. Also in UncommonTEEN, we want to help you begin to walk in your God-give purpose. God created you for a specific purpose and we want to help you discover what that purpose is. So that is what UncommonTEEN is. You may be wondering, why the name UncommonTEEN. The name UncommonTEEN comes from Acts 4:13. This is actually one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible. It says in the Amplified Classic version (or AMPC), “Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools [common men with no educational advantages], they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus." With Peter and John, they were just common men who spent time with Jesus. And because they did, Jesus was able to transform them from common to uncommon. The same thing is true with us. When we spend time with God on a daily basis, growing in our relationship with Him, we too, become uncommon. I saw this happen firsthand in my life. I was one of those girls who was okay at lot of things, but never really great at anything. I walked through life feeling like there wasn’t anything really special about me. I was shy as I talked about earlier. I didn’t have a lot of friends. I never really felt like there was a purpose for my life. Haha…but I was wrong! To share with you a little about me, I didn’t become a Christian until I was a senior in high school. Since I didn’t have anything planned the summer before I went off to college, I chose to work at a summer camp…as a cook! Not as a worship leader or a camp counselor, but a cook! However, it was during that summer that God spoke to my heart so strongly and told me what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life. So earlier I shared that I didn’t become a Christian until my senior year of high school. I didn’t grow up in a Christian family. There was a lot of abuse and drugs in my home. It was not a functional home by any means. Fast forward back to the summer camp. One night, I was walking around campus and saw a group of girls gathered under a tree and I felt God tugging at my heart to go talk to them. As I was talking to them, I realized that they Support the show Want a little extra sparkle this month? ✨ Grab your December Glow Mail and soak in God's Radiant Love for you!
