God Uses The Wilderness To Rebuild Your Identity with Devotional Author, Kristen Stockton

Send us Fan MailYour résumé can vanish in a single meeting. So what’s left when the title, the paycheck, and the plan fall apart? Sylvia Worsham sits down with author and leader Kristen Stockton to discuss the kind of loss that doesn’t just disrupt your work, but also shakes your identity. Kristen shares how a sudden job loss after 14 years sent her into fear and grief, and how God used that unraveling to rebuild something deeper than achievement: a grounded identity in Christ.We dig into the turning point that came through an identity exercise at a retreat, the call to be rooted in Colossians 2:7, and the hard truth many high-capacity women live with: doing “all the right faith things” can still leave a gap when you haven’t fully owned who you are in God. From there, Kristen names the three keys that carried her through a long formation season: awareness, surrender, and forgiveness. We also talk honestly about anxiety at 2 a.m., COVID-era financial stress, marriage strain, and the temptation to overfunction and manage everyone else’s pain.Kristen explains how listening, not striving, shaped her devotional When Strength Isn’t Enough, and she reads a powerful excerpt that reframes wilderness seasons as unexpected blessing, protection, and provision. If you’re searching for Christian encouragement, purpose, healing, and peace in chaos, you’ll find language and practices you can bring into your next prayer today.
