Ep 57: More Than You Think You Are: Breaking Free from Satan's Small Box with Audra Elkington


Listen Later

In this conversation, guest, Audra Elkington shares her journey of discovering her divine identity through multiple moves, periods of doubt, and ultimately returning to the church after five and a half years away. As a self-described introvert who's lived in 12 homes over 21 years of marriage, Audra opens up about how God has repeatedly shown her that she's more than the "shy girl" she once believed herself to be. From speaking at Time Out for Women to starting her podcast "Where We Gather," Audra's story is a powerful testament to how the Savior helps us see our true worth—even when Satan tries to convince us otherwise. Her insights on finding connection as an introvert, turning weaknesses into strengths, and letting Christ change our identity will inspire anyone struggling to see themselves as God sees them.

5 Key Takeaways

  1. Your personality traits aren't flaws to fix, but strengths to harness for good. Even stubbornness can become spiritual resilience when directed toward standing firm in your faith and identity.

  2. God places you exactly where you need to be—and places others there for you too. Every season and location in your life has divine purpose, whether you're there to bless others or to receive the blessing yourself.

  3. Finding community as an introvert means creating spaces around YOUR interests. Instead of forcing yourself into groups that drain you, invite others into activities that fill your soul while building meaningful connections.

  4. Your divine identity cannot be separated from Jesus Christ. Like Jacob becoming Israel or the Lamanites becoming Anti-Nephi-Lehis, true identity change happens when we let the Savior transform us into who we were always meant to be.

    5. Speaking up matters—even if you only reach one person. Your voice has power, and the courage to share your testimony or truth can be the catalyst someone else needs for their own conversion or breakthrough.
