Hey, Mama! We’re diving deep into the heart of a struggle that many of us face as we walk the path of motherhood—our identity.
Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Who am I now?" between the laundry piles, snack requests, and constant need for cuddles? You're not alone, Mama! The world may try to define you by what you do, but God calls you by who you are—a child of the King.
In today’s episode, we explore:
How motherhood can shift and sometimes blur our sense of self
The importance of finding our identity in God, not in the world’s expectations
A powerful story from John 5 about redefining who we are through God’s eyes
How to focus on God to give us lasting, unshakable peace and identity
Join Alyssa as she shares how to stop looking for identity in the world’s distractions and start focusing on Jesus, the only one who can truly heal and redefine us as moms.
Key Takeaways:
Embrace that your identity as a mom doesn’t define everything about who you are.
The beauty of motherhood is about loving our children, but we must also love the person God created us to be.
It’s never too late to rediscover who you are in Christ.
Even in the chaos, God has a steady, unchanging identity for you to walk in—one that will never fade.
Scripture Reference: John 5:2-9 – The healing of the crippled man and the reminder that our true identity comes from Jesus.
Stay encouraged, Mama. No matter what the world says, God’s love for you is constant and unchanging. Keep your eyes on Him as you walk this beautiful journey of motherhood!
