Faith isn’t only tested in hardship — it’s tested in abundance. In this episode of Faithfully Invested with Allen & Stacy Jo, we talk about how to stay humble, surrendered, and spiritually disciplined when life is going well.

When doors are opening and prayers are being answered, it’s easy to drift into autopilot. Comfort can become an idol. Self-reliance can replace dependence. And without realizing it, we start taking credit for what God has done.

This episode helps you recognize the spiritual risks of success and how to steward blessing with gratitude and obedience.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why blessing increases responsibility
• The shift from dependence to “I got this”
• Gratitude as protection against pride
• Abiding in Christ when life is good
• Guarding prayer, worship, and spiritual rhythms
• Stewardship as kingdom impact (Luke 16:10)

📖 Scriptures Referenced:
Philippians 4 | John 10:10 | Luke 16:10 | John 15

📌 Weekly Invitation:
Spend 10 minutes a day naming what God has blessed, thanking Him specifically, and surrendering it back to Him. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to steward it with faith, not fear.

Walking in the Spirit daily is essential for believers who want faith that works in real life. In this episode of Faithfully Invested with Allen & Stacy Jo, we explore how to stay connected to the Holy Spirit amid the busyness, pressure, and distractions of everyday life.

Many Christians try to produce spiritual fruit through effort and discipline alone, but Scripture teaches that lasting transformation flows from abiding in Christ. This episode unpacks what it looks like to live Spirit-led, not just in theory, but in practice.

You’ll hear about:

• The daily tension between the flesh and the Spirit
• Why abiding in Christ matters more than striving
• How spiritual fruit grows through connection, not perfection
• The role of silence, prayer, and community in spiritual growth
• Living faith that works through everyday obedience

📖 Scriptures Referenced:
Galatians 5:16–17 | Romans 8:6 | John 15:1–5 | Matthew 11:28–30

Christian spiritual warfare is real — especially when you’re walking in obedience to God. In this episode of Faithfully Invested with Allen & Stacy Jo, we talk about recognizing spiritual warfare, standing firm in faith, and using biblical truth to overcome everyday resistance.

Spiritual warfare doesn’t always look dramatic. Often it shows up as confusion, discouragement, relational tension, mental pressure, or heaviness that surfaces when you’re advancing God’s Kingdom. Scripture reminds us that our battle is not against people or circumstances, but against spiritual forces — and recognizing the battle correctly changes how we stand.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to identify spiritual warfare in daily life
• Why resistance often increases when you step into God’s calling
• The Armor of God (Ephesians 6) and how it protects your mind, heart, and identity
• Why unity, prayer, and knowing who you are in Christ weaken the enemy’s strategies
• How to stand from victory, not fight for it

You are not alone. You are not underpowered. And you are not losing — Jesus has already won.

Key Scriptures Referenced

• Ephesians 6:10–18
• Ephesians 6:12
• James 4:7
• Romans 8:37
• John 10:10

What do you do when you believe God… but your faith feels weak?

In Season 5, Episode 2 of Faithfully Invested, Allen and Stacy Jo Thorne unpack the honest tension many believers face: trusting Jesus while feeling tired, uncertain, or emotionally worn down.

Drawing from Mark 9 and the prayer “I believe; help my unbelief,” this episode reminds us that weak faith does not disqualify us — it invites Jesus to meet us with compassion and power.

If you’re believing for breakthrough, clarity, healing, or direction and the wait has been heavy, this episode will encourage you to bring your faith — even when it feels thin — honestly before Jesus.

📜 Key Scriptures

• Mark 9:23–24
• 2 Corinthians 12:9
• Matthew 11:28–30
• Matthew 17:20

✨ Key Takeaways

• Weak faith is not failure
• Jesus responds to honesty, not perfection
• Prayer is our first response, not a last resort
• Faith grows stronger in community, not isolation

📝 Weekly Challenge

This week, pray simply:

“Jesus, help me with my unbelief.”

Not as a confession of failure — but as an invitation for Him to meet you where you are.

🎧 Featured Resource: Reviving Recovery: Unbound

Led by Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne, this experience focuses on inner healing, truth identity, Spirit-led journaling, and freedom in Christ.

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

Forgiveness: Healing From the Top Down (Bonus Episode)
This listener-requested bonus episode dives deep into one of the most essential Kingdom principles Jesus gives us: the three-part, top-down order of forgiveness. Allen and Stacy Jo unpack why forgiveness begins with receiving God’s forgiveness, moves into forgiving ourselves, and finally empowers us to forgive others authentically and freely.

Through transparent conversation, biblical teaching, and Allen’s powerful testimony of reconciling with his father, this episode reveals how guilt, shame, and resentment keep us stuck — and how the Holy Spirit leads us into emotional healing, spiritual freedom, and restored relationships.

In this Episode You’ll Learn:
• The biblical mandate for forgiveness
• Why self-forgiveness is often the missing step
• How resentment “short circuits” spiritual growth
• How to identify and release emotional debt
• How to partner with Jesus for inner healing
• What authentic forgiveness looks like
• Why forgiveness leads to peace, freedom, and healthy connection

The 3-Part Forgiveness Framework:

1. Receive God’s forgiveness
2. Forgive yourself
3. Forgive others

Self-Forgiveness Questions to Reflect On:
• What is the debt I believe I can’t repay?
• What emotions surface when I face that debt?
• What does Jesus have to say about it?

Key Scriptures:
Matthew 6:12, Matthew 18, Romans 8:1, Psalm 32, Colossians 3:12–17, Isaiah 53, 1 John 1:9, John 14:6, Luke 10:19

When the world is louder, angrier, and more divided than ever, how do believers rise above cultural chaos and stand united with Christ? In this powerful episode, Allen and Stacy Jo unpack what it truly means to live Kingdom over culture—and how unity in Christ becomes our greatest witness to a world desperate for truth.

Together, they explore:
• why division is the enemy’s oldest trick
• how John 17 reveals Jesus’ prayer for your unity
• the danger of letting culture define what only Christ can name
• how pride fuels disunity—and humility breaks it
• why kingdom identity is stronger than cultural labels
• practical steps to build unity in your home, marriage, ministry, and community

This episode is both convicting and encouraging, calling you back to what matters most:
Keeping Jesus at the center.
Loving people deeply.
Standing united in truth, identity, and purpose.

Key Scriptures

• John 17:20–23 — Jesus’ prayer for unity
• 1 Peter 5:8 — the enemy seeks to devour
• James 1:19 — quick to listen, slow to speak
• Matthew 5:14–16 — we are the light of the world
