When the Story Isn’t What You Expected: Finding Identity and Hope in the Waiting with Author, Kaelyn Gauthier
Posted in At This Table
What happens when the life you’re living isn’t the story you would have chosen—but becomes the story you wouldn’t change?
In this episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown welcomes Redemption Press author Kaelyn Gauthier for a deeply honest and hope-filled conversation about singleness, longing, identity, and trusting God when life doesn’t unfold the way you expected.
Today’s conversation explores the deeper heart behind Kaelyn’s book, To My Single Sister (And All the People Who Know Her)—a message that reaches far beyond relationship status and speaks to anyone who has wrestled with waiting, disappointment, or wondering if they’ve been overlooked.
Kaelyn shares her personal journey of discovering that the longing she once hoped a relationship would fill was actually pointing her toward something deeper—an identity rooted in Christ rather than circumstances.
Together, Shelly and Kaelyn discuss the emotional realities of singleness, the spiritual formation that happens in seasons of waiting, and the freedom that comes from learning to trust God’s story more than our own expectations.
In this episode with Kaelyn Gauthier, we talk about:
- Why singleness often exposes deeper questions about identity and worth
- The powerful moment Kaelyn realized she didn’t need a man to rescue her—she needed a Savior
- How waiting seasons can cultivate endurance, intimacy with God, and spiritual maturity
- The lies many singles quietly believe—and how to replace them with truth
- The importance of community and spiritual friendships during seasons of waiting
- How keeping our eyes on eternity reshapes how we walk through present struggles
Kaelyn also shares the surprising ways God has used singleness to grow her faith, deepen her dependence on Him, and reveal His faithfulness in unexpected ways.
