Faith That Stands: Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus

Send us a text

Welcome to Season 5 of Faithfully Invested — and we’re starting with something every Christ follower knows too well: your faith can feel steady… until life’s constant distractions start tugging at it.

In this episode, Allen and Stacy Jo break down why we don’t usually “sink” because the storm is too strong — we sink because our focus drifts. Using Peter walking on water (Matthew 14) as the anchor story, they unpack how distraction, anxiety, comparison, and overload quietly scatter our attention “one inch at a time”… and what Scripture says to do when your peace starts slipping.

This is not a pep talk. This is a reset for your focus and a call to build a faith that stands — not because life never shakes you, but because you keep learning to refocus on Jesus in the middle of it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why faith wavers even when Jesus never moves
• The difference between storms and distractions
• How “slow fade” drift happens spiritually (without you noticing)
• Why spiritual maturity isn’t about perfection — it’s about attention
• The power of “release before you receive”
• A simple, biblical reset prayer you can use this week

Weekly Action Step:
When you feel your peace slipping (fear, pressure, distraction, comparison), pause and pray:
“Jesus, I turn my eyes back to You. I release this to You. Fill me with Your truth and Your peace.”

Key Scriptures: Matthew 14:30–33, Hebrews 12:2, Deuteronomy 6:6, Romans 12:2, James 4:7, John 16:33
