Seated with Christ: Living Freely in a Culture of Comparison

Written by Heather Holleman and Joni Eareckson Tada

Narrated by Heather Holleman

As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray.

Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection.

Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom.

Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us.

It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame.

Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others.

Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.

This book will comfort you and give you confidence and peace. Understanding that each of us have a place, a seat, God's undivided attention will remove the need to compare, the envy, and help us to cheer each person on unreservedly.

One of the most transformative books I’ve read ??. So real and practical. Love it.

[CS · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I thought reading the title was sufficient in telling me what the book was about. I had no idea this book would cut to the struggles in the deepest part of our being and share truth that is soul satisfying. Phenomenal!
