Episode 9: Am I Still Me if God Is Changing Me?

Episode 9: Am I Still Me if God Is Changing Me?

Can your identity remain stable while you're still growing and changing? In this episode of the Crossing Sisterhood Podcast, Pastor Tamara, Toree, and Liz dive into a powerful conversation about identity in Christ, spiritual growth, prayer, and navigating life's changing seasons. Together, they explore how our circumstances, roles, and experiences may change, but our primary identity remains secure when we are rooted in Jesus Christ. Whether you're a wife, mother, widow, student, leader, or walking through a season of transition, your identity is not defined by your circumstances. You are a daughter of the King. Liz shares her personal journey of navigating grief after the loss of her husband and the challenge of understanding her identity as a widow while remaining grounded in who God says she is. Her story offers hope and encouragement for anyone walking through loss, grief, or life-altering change. The conversation also turns to prayer, answering questions many believers ask: • How do I learn to pray as a new Christian? • What do I say when I don't know the right words? • How can I develop a deeper prayer life? • What do I do when I don't feel like praying? They also discuss how the Holy Spirit intercedes for us, the vulnerability modeled throughout the Psalms, and how prayer is ultimately less about perfect words and more about a surrendered heart. If you've ever struggled with your identity, wondered how to pray, wrestled with grief, or desired a deeper relationship with God, this conversation is for you.

If you’ve ever wrestled with hurt, distance from God, or wondered if your story has purpose, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Episode 6: Faith & Parenting Q&A

Episode 6 of the Journey of Becoming Podcast is all about parenting — and this time, the conversation is shaped by you. In this episode, we answer questions submitted by our audience and dive into some of the real, everyday challenges parents face in every season of raising kids. We talk through a wide range of topics, from the debate many parents wrestle with — should we spank or not? — to how we can explain complex biblical truths to young children in ways they can actually understand. We also discuss the emotional and spiritual transition parents experience as children grow up and the house becomes quieter, exploring what it looks like to move into the empty-nest season with purpose and faith. Parenting isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. It’s a process of growing, learning, adjusting, and leaning on God for wisdom along the way. Our hope is that this conversation encourages you, reminds you that you’re not alone in the questions you’re asking, and helps you think through how to raise your kids with intention and faith. Whether you’re in the early years with little ones, navigating the teenage season, or preparing for the transition to an empty nest, this episode offers thoughtful insight and honest conversation for wherever you are in the journey. Subscribe for more conversations on faith, family, and the process of becoming who God created us to be.

Episode 5: From Me to We

Discover the difference between cultural authenticity and biblical identity in Christ. This episode explores Christian community, the “one another” commands, corporate worship, healing, and how true transformation happens when faith is lived together—not in isolation.

Episode 4: Hidden Seasons, Holy Purpose

You have access to God's table not because of your merit, but because you're WITH Jesus. He knows your name and isn't repulsed by your weaknesses. What if instead of asking 'What can I get from this?' you asked 'What can I give?' The difference between being hidden 'in' Christ vs 'with' Christ will transform how you see your relationship with God.
