   Who Are You When The Title Goes Away - Season 1, Episode 6

   Episode 6: Who Are You When the Title Goes Away? | Identity Beyond Your Roles Welcome to Episode 6 of Called and Unshaken. Today we begin our second pillar, and it's personal: the loss before the loss. Marzette shares how she lost herself and her identity inside a life she chose. Maybe you've never walked through widowhood. But maybe you've woken up inside a life that is technically yours and couldn't find yourself in it. The stay-at-home season that stretched longer than planned, the career pivot, the empty nest, the ministry that ended, the relationship that defined you until it didn't. Marzette names the lie, "I am my role, and when the role changes, I disappear," and shows how identity loss stacks. Then she brings you back to the foundation: roles are what you do, not who you are. In this episode: • Losing your name: from Marzette to "Aaron's wife" to "Ezekiel's mom" • Being lonely inside a full life • Why "What do you do?" is the wrong question for identity • How identity loss stacks across seasons • What role are you most afraid to lose? • 2 Corinthians 5:17: the new creation is a new nature, not a new resume • Your gifts are not your roles, and your calling does not give you value • Jeremiah 29:11 spoken to people in exile The lie: My identity is my role. The truth: You are a new creation. Identity is held by God, not a position. Scripture referenced: 2 Corinthians 5:17 | Romans 8:15–16 | Jeremiah 29:11 Your homework this week: Answer two questions. First: "If every role I currently hold disappeared tomorrow, what would still be true about me?" Write one honest paragraph, then ask yourself if you really believe it. Second: "In faith, who am I?" Pray and let the Holy Spirit show you who He says you are. Next episode: Episode 7: You Didn't Miss It (calling and purpose) 📖 Download the Episode 6 Devotional: https://linktr.ee/calledandunshaken.

   Episode 5: Am I Enough? | Breaking the Lie That Your Worth Is Earned

   Welcome to Episode 5 of Called and Unshaken. Today we name the first big lie that tries to move us off our foundation: that your value is something you have to earn, perform, maintain, and prove. Marzette shares the moment she first saw it clearly, standing offstage next to her husband when someone asked, "Oh! Do you sing?" She talks about becoming very good at being small, the loneliness of losing your place in community, and why women are so often taught that being useful is the same as being safe. Then she takes you to the truth: you are fearfully and wonderfully made, seen by the God who sees (El Roi), and His handiwork, His poem. In this episode: • The "Do you sing?" moment and feeling unseen in plain sight • How the lie wears different outfits: usefulness, performance, being noticed, even false humility • Why performing smallness is still performing • Stepping back from leading worship, postpartum depression, and loneliness • Why women are socialized to be useful so they feel safe • Hagar and El Roi: the God who sees you • Ephesians 2:10: you are God's poem, not His project • Worship that doesn't need a stage The lie: I am only as valuable as what I produce. The truth: Worth was given before you earned it. You do not perform for love you already have. Scripture referenced: Psalm 139:13–14 | Genesis 16:13 | Ephesians 2:10 Your homework this week: Write down one place in your life where you are performing for worth. Name it, then write Psalm 139:14 beside it: "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Read it every day until something in you starts to believe it.

   Episode 4: Forgiveness | The Real Cost of Forgiveness

   Welcome to Episode 4 of Called and Unshaken. Today we're talking about forgiveness: not the surface version, but what it actually takes, what it costs, and why it may be one of the most important things you ever do for your healing. Marzette has watched strong, faithful women get stuck, not because their faith wasn't real, but because something unforgiven was sitting underneath everything. She explains what forgiveness is not, shares her own story of church hurt at 19 and how forgiveness became the doorway to restoration, and walks you through forgiving others, forgiving God (the anger no one feels allowed to say out loud), and forgiving yourself. You'll also get a step-by-step process for walking through your whole life in stages, so you can clean the wound and let God heal it. In this episode: • What forgiveness is not: it isn't saying it was okay, forgetting, or automatic trust • Forgiveness as a decision to release a debt, sometimes daily • How unforgiveness shows up: armor, walls, and repeating patterns • Marzette's story of church hurt and what it taught her about identity and worth • When you're angry at God and don't feel allowed to say it (Psalm 13) • Forgiving yourself: no condemnation, accusation versus shame • Why forgiveness is a practice, like layers of an onion, not a one-time event • A practical process for walking through your life in stages and praying through each person The lie: I can't move forward until they apologize. The truth: Unforgiveness is structural. It sits under everything. Forgiving others, God, and yourself is how you clear the ground. Scripture referenced: Ephesians 4:31–32 | Psalm 13:1–2 | Romans 8:1 | Matthew 18:21–22 Your homework this week: Ask the Lord to reveal where you haven't forgiven. Then walk through your life in stages, from family and school years to relationships, work, yourself, and God. Name the people and moments, and pray: "God, I choose to forgive [name] for [what happened]." End in Jesus' name, then ask the Holy Spirit to fill and heal you. Content note: this episode includes a brief mention of an abuse of power in a church setting and may be difficult for some listeners.

   Who Does God Say You Are?

   Episode 3: I Am a Child of God | The Ground Floor of Your Identity Welcome to Episode 3 of Called and Unshaken. Today we begin building the foundation: if you have professed Jesus as Lord over your life, you are a child of God. Before we can talk about identity, worth, or calling, we have to settle whose you are. Marzette opens with one word, "Father," and invites you to notice what happens in your body when you hear it. From there she walks through Psalm 139, the sparrows in Luke 12, and what it means to be adopted, selected, and secure. She also talks honestly about how our earthly fathers shape the lens through which we see God, and how the father wound can quietly distort the way we receive His love. No matter what kind of father you had, there is healing. Having a bad father is not the end of your story. In this episode: The one-word exercise: what happens in you when you hear "Father" Psalm 139: you were knit together, not mass produced Luke 12: the sparrows, the numbered hairs, and a God who is intimately acquainted with you Why adoption means you can't be disowned: selected and secure The father wound and how it becomes the lens we use to see God The prodigal father who ran toward you (Luke 15) Matthew 18: childlikeness versus childishness Healing is available, whatever kind of father you had The lie: I am defined by what I've been through, and God sees me the way my earthly father did. The truth: You have a Father who does not fail. You were not an accident. You are chosen. Scripture referenced: Psalm 139:13–16 | Luke 12:6–7 | John 1:12–13 | Romans 8:15–16 | Ephesians 1:5 | Luke 15 | Matthew 18:3–4 Your homework this week: Read Psalm 139:13–16 slowly, then write a few honest sentences answering: "What has my earthly father taught me, rightly or wrongly, about what it means to be loved?" You don't have to show it to anyone, but you'll need it next week. Next episode: Episode 4: Forgiveness Content note: this episode discusses father wounds, which may stir up difficult memories for some listeners. 📖 Download the Episode 3 Devotional: https://linktr.ee/calledandunshaken (https://linktr.ee/calledandunshaken).

   When God Flips Your World Upside Down

   Episode 2: Don't Stay Stuck | Grief, Honesty, and the New Thing God Is Doing Welcome to Episode 2 of Called and Unshaken, a podcast about identity, healing, and what it looks like to let God put you back together after life's storms have rearranged everything. If life has handed you something you didn't ask for, this episode is for you. Marzette opens with the night she lost her husband Aaron to a brain aneurysm and the declarations she made in the dark: even if God didn't heal, He was still a healer. Even if He didn't deliver, He was still good. From there she tells you what this show is (and isn't), shares the messy middle of grief that doesn't make the highlight reel, and explains why God sometimes flips your world upside down, not to destroy you, but to get the Egypt out of you. In this episode: • The declarations that carried Marzette through the worst night of her life • What this show is, and what it is not • Grief beyond loss: grieving past relationships, lost expectations, and even good seasons that end • The "numbing" phases of grief, and why you're not broken, you're human • The two things that brought Marzette through: staying transparent with God and staying close to people who tell you the truth • Isaiah 43:19: why we can't perceive the new thing while gripping the old • Renewing your mind with God's Word and calming your nervous system • Truths that hold no matter the shape of your storm (not platitudes) • A preview of what's coming: who God says you are, and forgiveness as a survival skill Scripture referenced: Isaiah 43:19 | Proverbs 24:16 | John 16:33 Your question for this week: Sit somewhere quiet and ask yourself: "What is the thing I am most afraid to bring to God right now?" You don't have to answer out loud or do anything with it yet. Just name it.

   The Storm Isn't The End

   Welcome to the very first episode of Called and Unshaken, a podcast of faith and hope for the woman standing in front of a storm and wondering how she'll get through it. The storm in front of you isn't the end. Jesus is the way through, and He knows the way out. In this episode, your host Marzette shares her heart for the podcast and some of her own story: losing her first husband after seventeen years of marriage, rebuilding her identity from the ground up, and watching God's faithfulness show up in every season since. Then she takes you to the first oasis in Scripture, Marah in Exodus 15, and the choice Israel faced there that we all face in our own dry places. In this episode: Why every dry season is an invitation, not abandonment The two choices at every dead end: complain or seek God How Jesus is our living water and our Oasis in every season The lie of building your security on your plans, titles, or circumstances Why real security has a name: Jesus Christ What it means to face trials and come out unburned The lie: My security and identity come from how I expected my life to look. The truth: Security has a name, and it's Jesus Christ. Scripture referenced: Exodus 15:22–27 Reflection for this week: Notice what you're building on. Bring it to God honestly, not the polished version you tell everyone, and see what it feels like to let Him hold your future. 📖 Download the Episode 1 Devotional: [INSERT LINK] Coaching waitlist: Marzette is opening the door to coaching, walking women step by step through hearing God for themselves and finding the tools they need to heal.
