"Who am I when everything changes?" It's a question we rarely consider until we're faced with a significant life transition—a graduation, an empty nest, a career shift, a health diagnosis, or a relationship ending. These moments shake not just our circumstances, but often our very sense of identity.
The conversation centers on Romans 8:15-17, which reminds us we are adopted children of God—a core identity that doesn't shift with changing circumstances. While this truth seems simple intellectually, living from this reality during transitions proves challenging. The hosts emphasize developing deep spiritual roots during stable seasons so we're prepared when inevitable storms arrive.
Whether you're navigating a happy transition like becoming a parent or empty-nester, or facing an unexpected challenge like job loss or health concerns, this episode offers practical wisdom for maintaining your core identity through life's inevitable changes. As Elizabeth and Kimberly remind us, we are not defined by what happens to us—we are defined by whose we are.
