In this session we open up about how seasons of transition don’t just change our circumstances—they challenge our identity. When the things we’ve leaned on for worth, security, or significance begin to shift, it can feel disorienting. But what if that’s exactly where God wants to meet us?
We talk about how God uses these in-between seasons to reveal what’s going on beneath the surface—what we trust, what we fear, and where our identity might be tied to performance instead of purpose. Like Joseph, who was tested in the waiting (Psalm 105:19), we too are shaped in the hidden places long before our dreams are fulfilled.
We also explore how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparison, cultural pressure, and striving to prove our worth. But God’s process is never wasted. It’s part of His purpose for our becoming.
Whether you're navigating a career shift, motherhood transition, spiritual wilderness, or personal reinvention, this episode will help you:
•Recognize where your identity might be misaligned
•Release false definitions of success
•Embrace God's slow work in you
•Lean into trust when outcomes are unclear
•Let God redefine what legacy means
Scriptures We Discuss:
•Psalm 105:19 (NLT) – “Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.”
•Micah 6:5 (NLT) – “Don’t you remember, my people, how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed, and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead? And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal, when I, the Lord, did everything I could to teach you about my faithfulness.”
•Philippians 1:6 (NIV) – “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
•James 1:23–24 (NIV) – “Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”
•Micah 6:8 (NIV) – “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
