33.Learning to Live Like a Daughter of God with Hansi Sherwood

What if the most important thing God is forming in you right now… isn’t your calling, but your identity?In this episode of the Not Just Waiting Podcast, I’m joined by Hansi Sherwood, a leader, speaker, and advocate for hope. Hansi shares honestly about seasons of waiting, the deep faith that was formed through her daughter’s adoption journey, and what it looks like to trust God even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.One of the most powerful themes of this conversation is something simple but life-changing:Before anything else, we are daughters of God.Together we talk about:Why identity as a daughter of God changes how we live and waitWhat happens when God focuses more on shaping your character than advancing your callingThe moment Hansi prayed, “God, save my daughter… but if you don’t, I still believe.”How to actively wait with faith instead of passively sitting in frustration. Releasing control, expectations, and people-pleasing in the waiting seasonFilling your “hope chest” with truth while you waitIf you’re in a season where life feels uncertain, slow, or painful, this conversation will remind you of something important:You’re not forgotten.You’re not behind. And God is still forming something beautiful in you.Resources Mentioned• What If It’s Wonderful? – Nicole ZasowskiConnect with HansiInstagram & Facebook: Hope With Hansi Website: hopewithhansi.weebly.comDownload the Guide to Becoming: If you’re in a waiting season and want a simple way to stay rooted in truth, download my Guide to Becoming — a Scripture-based reflection guide designed to help you notice what God is forming in you right now.
