When life pulls you into a pit, God doesn’t leave you there—He lifts you up and gives you a new song to sing.

In this Found In Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn unpacks Psalm 40:3, reminding us that God can turn even our deepest pain into a powerful testimony of His redemption and faithfulness. Just like David, and like Daniel Richter’s story, when we let God rewrite our song, the world sees His goodness and puts their trust in Him. What once felt like despair becomes a declaration: “He brought me out of the pit and set my feet on solid ground.”

Be encouraged—your story isn’t over. God is composing something beautiful with your life.

Daniel Richter, former frontman of the pop band Eleven Past One, once chased fame, success, and identity in the spotlight. But behind the stage lights, he wrestled with questions of worth, identity, and purpose that no applause could answer.

In this deeply personal and hope-filled conversation, Daniel opens up about:

- His struggles with identity and sexuality while living in the public eye

- The emptiness of chasing success and what led to his breaking point

- How God met him in surrender and brought healing, purpose, and peace

- His journey from performing for people to worshipping for God’s glory

Now a husband, father, and worship leader, Daniel shares how God transformed his story from performance to purpose—and how his new single “Dear God” reflects the cry of a redeemed heart.

Be reminded that true freedom isn’t found in fame—it’s found in Christ alone.

Before you ever took your first breath, God already had a plan — to make you more like Jesus. 🙏

In this powerful Found In Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn unpacks Romans 8:29, revealing that God’s purpose isn’t just to save us, but to shape us. Christlikeness isn’t instant — it’s a lifelong process of transformation, where God moulds our hearts to reflect His Son in our thoughts, character, and actions.

Lorie is joined by Ian Morgan Cron, author of The Fix: Why Everyone Needs the 12 Steps, who shares how surrendering to God’s process brings freedom from the addictions, control, and broken patterns that keep us stuck.

Who—or what—is leading your life today?

In this powerful Found in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn unpacks Romans 8:9 through the raw and honest story of Jesús. He shares openly about:

- Growing up with childhood trauma

- Walking away from faith and living in destructive patterns

- Seeking belonging in radical ideologies

- Believing he was in control—yet really being controlled by sin

But the faithful prayers of his grandmother and the grace of God led him home. Today, Jesús testifies to the freedom that comes when we allow Christ and His Spirit to lead our lives. Romans 8:9 reminds us: sin is available, but it is no longer our master. Freedom is found in surrender to Jesus.

✨ Be encouraged to release control, walk in the Spirit, and experience the life only Christ can give.

In this powerful conversation with Lorie Hartshorn, Ligia opens up about:

• Her journey from abandonment and brokenness to freedom in Christ

• Why independence isn’t the ultimate goal, and how belonging to Jesus transforms everything

• • The heart behind Anew Ministries and building authentic Christian community across cultures and languages

  Her story is a raw, hope-filled reminder that even in our deepest wounds, Jesus restores, redeems, and gives us a new identity. 🌿
