*UPDATED* Why Your Identity Matters in Early Motherhood
Have you ever felt like you disappeared somewhere between diaper changes, feeding schedules, and trying to be everything for everyone?
In this episode, I rerecorded the intro to talk about something that changed my own heart in motherhood: our identity has to be rooted in Jesus Christ, not in our roles, achievements, or how well we keep up with the laundry (which… let’s be honest… is never 😅).
The world defines identity by what distinguishes us—our personality, job titles, group affiliations, or accomplishments. But our identity in Christ is different. It’s based on what He has done for us and who He says we are: made in God’s image, chosen, loved, part of a royal priesthood.
And when motherhood shakes everything you thought you knew about yourself, that truth becomes an anchor.
