A midnight layover, a missing passport, and a family stuck between countries became an unexpected parable about identity. We walked through the stress, the finger-pointing, and the waiting, only to realize that what stalled us at the border mirrors what stalls many of us internally: forgetting who we are and whose we are when life shifts gears.

We unpack why identity gets hit hardest in transition—new jobs, new commitments, fresh steps of obedience—and how Scripture shows the pattern from Moses to Jesus. The enemy’s oldest tactic is still the most effective: “If you are…” We counter that with what Jesus modeled—“It is written”—and offer practical guardrails you can set before the turbulence arrives. We talk about building a circle that speaks truth when you forget, preloading promises so you can answer doubt on contact, and deciding your assignment before insecurity tries to rewrite it.

Along the way, we explore how borrowed armor limits your reach, why criticism that once crushed now glances off when you’re rooted, and how modern identity labels can become clumsy armor that looks strong but fits wrong. Your truest passport isn’t a title, tribe, or platform; it’s adoption. As children of God, we carry a name that steadies both failure and success. If you feel stuck in the corridor—unable to go back or forward—there’s a way through: ask for help, hold fast to the Word, lean on your people, and keep moving. The passport is meant for travel, not storage.

Hit play for a story-driven, Scripture-saturated conversation that’s equal parts honest and hopeful. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels “in transit,” and leave a review with one truth you’re holding onto this week.
