Who Am I Without What I Do?

from Daily Affirming Women's Network (DAWN) Hosted by Suzan Thompson

What happens when the roles that once made you feel needed begin to fall away? In Part 2 of PD Sue’s conversation with Terri Thomas, we step into Deep Waters. Terri reflects on a season when her familiar roles in ministry, business and motherhood began changing—and she found herself asking, “Who am I?” God used that season to reveal how deeply her identity had become connected to what she did. Terri and PD Sue discuss the fear beneath control, renewal in marriage, practicing the abundant life Jesus promised and learning not to serve others from emptiness. Their conversation also turns to Ruth 2 and Naomi’s important question: “Where did you glean today?” What we continually receive will eventually affect what we have available to give. The conversation closes with encouragement for mothers who are learning to surrender their children and trust God with outcomes they cannot control. Key Scriptures: John 10:10; Ephesians 3:20; Ruth 2:17–19; Psalm 127:4 Reflection questions: • What role have you allowed to define you?• Where are you gleaning in this season?• What person or outcome do you need to surrender to God? Follow DAWN Conversations so you don’t miss Part 3: At His Feet with Terri Thomas. Content note: This episode includes discussion of painful childhood memories, identity struggles and fear concerning an adult child.
