    In seasons of uncertainty, distraction, and change, it's easy to lose focus and drift off course. This message is a call to fix our attention on what matters most. Drawing from scripture and real-life moments, we're reminded that our direction is shaped by our focus—and that faith often means stepping into the unknown with our eyes locked on the One who leads us. Whether you're in the middle of a storm or standing on the edge of something new, this episode invites you to trust fully, follow faithfully, and refuse to turn back.

    God invites ordinary people into extraordinary journeys of faith, often asking them to surrender their deepest securities—family, land, comfort—for something far greater: a life aligned with His purposes. Drawing from the story of Abraham's radical obedience at age 75, the message explores how faith often begins with a promise, is tested through problems, and finds its fulfillment in God's provision. This isn't just ancient history—it's a pattern that plays out today in individuals and churches alike. Whether you're young or old, God may be calling you to go, give, do, or become something for His glory. The question is: will you trust Him enough to say yes? Even when the way forward seems uncertain, God proves faithful, and His strength shines brightest in our weakness. So what “coffin”—what costly yes—are you willing to carry to follow Him fully?

    Perspective has the power to shape how we see everything—our struggles, our past, and even our future. Sometimes the truth is right in front of us, but we miss it because our focus is clouded by fear, doubt, or pain. Yet when we fix our eyes on Jesus and place him at the center of our lives, everything else begins to fall into its proper place. The worries that once seemed overwhelming shrink in the light of his presence. Faith is not about having all the answers, but about trusting the One who holds them. When we see clearly who Jesus is—our Lord and our God—our whole view of the world shifts, and we find the courage, peace, and clarity we've been longing for.
