Who are you when everything around you keeps changing?

In Day 1, Session 2 of the 2026 Women’s Conference, Colleen Mataya opens Scripture to show that a woman’s truest and most stable identity is not found in seasons, roles, or circumstances—but in being in Christ.

Teaching from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and related passages, this session reminds us that while life shifts—singleness to marriage, motherhood to empty nest, strength to weakness—our union with Christ never changes. In Him, we are not merely improved or patched up, but made new.

This message firmly addresses the tension many women feel:
If I’m new in Christ, why do I still struggle?
Am I really equipped for what God has called me to do?
Why does growth sometimes feel slow and messy?

The answer is not found in trying harder, but in remembering what is already true. In Christ, God has given us everything we need for life and godliness—including His own Spirit, who now lives in us and empowers faithful obedience one step at a time.

Whether you feel weary, uncertain, or quietly discouraged, this session anchors hope in an unchanging reality: you belong to Christ, and He is at work in you.
