Through my years of counseling, Ive discovered that comparison is a trap ensnaring many women. Social media only reinforces the idea that other wives or other moms are smarter, prettier, happier, and more accomplished. Donna Gibbs is a Christian counselor who understands this devastating struggle, and in her excellent book she offers encouraging, practical, biblical guidance to help readers find their way back to peace, wholeness, and security as women made in Gods image.

Dr. Greg Smalley , vice president, Marriage and Family Formation, Focus on the Family

Love this book! Im in a very competitive environment where looks and comparisons play a huge role in being successful and making it, causing us to see ourselves in a way God never intended but, unfortunately, happens to many of us. Its easy to get held back by insecurities, anxiety, and fear. Donna gives us real, practical tools to help us not let the thief steal our joy of who God created each of us to be.

Meghan Woods , Nashville recording artist

Insecurity keeps many women from reaching their potential. In her counseling ministry, Donna Gibbs has helped many women find freedom to explore the future unafraid. Now, in this book, she shares those insights in a practical, readable format. All readers will profit from these insights.

Gary D. Chapman , PhD, author of The Five Love Languages

God uses Donna in this book to unpack, clarify, and provide a pathway for healing one of the most important considerations of who we are as humansour identity.

Kevin Wimbish , MS, LMFT; licensed marriage and family therapist; director, Family Life Coach

Silencing Insecurity beautifully and poignantly touches on the many aspects of life that plague women in America. The comparisons, the struggles, the falling short, and the unrealistic expectations paralyze and restrict women as they mature in this competitive social-media era. Donna Gibbs, a therapist with much wisdom and the experience of thousands of hours of counseling, has had a birds-eye view of clients hearts and struggles. She pushes in probing the effects of the difficult hurts and wounds so many endure. But she provides hope as well! As a Christian counselor for thirty years myself, I know there is sacredness in hearing of the inner workings of peoples lives and relationships. Were all struggling. Silencing Insecurity does a superb job of hitting the panoply of issues that plague us all.

Dee Jones Adams , PhD, Certified EFT Therapist, director of Baton Rouge Christian Counseling Center

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Janet Dohm, who introduced me to Jesus when I was a teenager. Who knows the lives that have been changed as a result of your genuine enthusiasm in sharing the truth and then following through with discipleship. Your pouring into my teenage life made a difference!

Where Janet left off, Sam and Nell Bailey stepped in, discipling me and hundreds of other young men and women during our college years. Made-from-scratch meals in your home, worship on your back porch, and some of the most inspiring and enthusiastic teachings Ive ever heard. Many leaders in ministry have been born out of your hearts and your home. I trust you will be eternally blessed by the difference you made in our lives.

To my husband, Mark, who reminds me daily that I am his princess. Thank you for cheering me on. I love you!

And to Vicki Crumpton, Amy Ballor, Jennifer Nutter, Patti Brinks, Erin Bartels, Brianne Dekker, Arielle Wade, Adam Lorenz, and the entire Revell team, thank you once again for your partnership and dedication to the work of building up the body of Christ. Your efforts behind the scenes have eternal significance.

Introduction

I felt a sense of vulnerability and a rage of anger unlike anything I had ever experienced. My wallet had been stolen and the offender was using my identity for his own good pleasures. I had been robbed. I felt defenseless and violated. If only I had known a thief had been lurking, I would have been more careful. I would have kept my guard up and been more alert. But now, it was too late. The damage was done. Id been betrayed by an unknown enemy, and the destruction was to my credit, my pride, and my overall sense of security.

Millions of people fall victim to identity theft every year. The majority of those victims have no idea they have been targeted until months, or even years, after the crime. But I want to talk to you about an even more common, subtler, and more dangerous form of identity theft that is claiming unsuspecting victims. It is the theft of our purpose, our joy, our stability, and our very being. Webster defines identity crisis as personal, psychosocial conflict especially in adolescence that involves confusion about ones social role and often a sense of loss of continuity to ones personality. many women at every stage and circumstance in life continue to be just as conflicted as they were in adolescence. What about you? Are you secure in who you are? Or do you still feel like a teenager who is tossed to and fro by each passing circumstance? If this describes you, then you will likely relate to some of the testimonies below.
