This week’s Beyond the Labels essay comes from Amber Rabon—a wife, stay-at-home mom, and retired English teacher who’s passionate about biblical literacy and the power of shared stories. In this vulnerable reflection, Amber invites us into a quiet moment where identity, failure, and performance collide—and where the voice of God meets us with gentle clarity.
In this episode, Amber shares:
✨The moment sourdough became a symbol for her feelings of failure
✨Why new motherhood can feel like a blurry mirror—where purpose and identity are hard to see
✨How God uses our actual gifts and personalities in motherhood—not the ones we wish we had
✨A tender reminder that we are His first—before the labels, before the striving
