Why Change Feels So Scary And What It Reveals About Your Identity in Christ

Have you ever walked through a major life change and suddenly felt unsure of who you are? When a role, routine, or season shifts, does your sense of security feel shaken too? Have you noticed how much peace you attach to sameness, predictability, or being needed? What happens internally when the things you’ve built your life around are taken away? This episode is for anyone navigating transition, identity shifts, anxiety around change, or confusion about calling and purpose. In this episode, we explore how major life shifts often reveal where our identity and security have been quietly rooted. I share how, over time, my identity slowly moved from who I am in Christ to what I was doing. Not intentionally. Not rebelliously. Gradually. And when those roles and rhythms were disrupted, I felt lost and unsettled. We talk about the difference between identity and function. How we often confuse calling with worth. And why change feels so threatening when our security is built on sameness instead of on Christ. This conversation centers on Galatians 2:19–21 as the foundational scripture for identity in Christ. A reminder that our old ways of defining ourselves have been crucified with Christ, and that our life now flows from Him, not from performance, productivity, or people-pleasing.   Contact → https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17npCJcUYY/ Instagram → @sarah.coppiano Resources → www.sarahcoppiano.com
