Is God Trustworthy? - Dissolving Lies, Discovering Healing & Freedom EP 4 | Focus Flip Podcast hosted by Christian Williams
FOCUS FLIP
Is God Trustworthy? In this episode of Focus Flip, we will be reflecting on where/when we started to believe that God would disappoint us. Healing begins the moment one feels seen and heard, but people don’t let others truly see or hear them until they feel like they can trust them. Vulnerability can feel like you are letting people see your weakness. It can feel like you are allowing yourself to be easily hurt, however, I believe vulnerability is a sign of three things - great strength, trust, and safety. The question is not, "Do you believe in God?" The question is, "Do you...

“Do you want to get well?” Growth in any area of your life lands on your choice to learn and expand your horizons. It doesn’t matter your age, until the day we die, we have the opportunity to better ourselves. The question is, are you willing to take action? Jesus asked the man with the withered leg, the man who had been struggling for 38 years, do you want to be healed? Jesus was really asking: Do you want the responsibility that comes with your healing? Do you recognize that you will be required to take action? Get Up. Pick Up Your Mat. Walk. GET UP - Learn how to...

FOCUS FLIP
Contiuing the setup for this series... Today we will be talking about the following questions: What does the Bible actually say, versus how have we adjusted it to fit society?

But if we are never reading it, how will we know it? If we don’t know it, how are we going to stand up against lies, especially when lies are partial truths?

Preparation precedes growth + launching... there is a shifting!!! - Ep 8 of A Cloud in the Clear Blue Sky Series - Focus Flip w/ Christian Williams
FOCUS FLIP
The preparation that precedes your new growth… God doesn’t make mistakes with the places, seasons, and people he calls us to. He doesn’t waste a moment, an opportunity, or a meeting. Everything has meaning, everything has a purpose, and nothing slides by him. If they were given seeds to plant on ground that hadn’t seen rain or dew in three years, do you think that seed would have grown or died? God knew what was needed for life. He knew that the only way to give us salvation was to allow his son to die. He knows that sometimes we need a storm to come through and...

What if your storm is the answer to your prayer?!? - Ep 7 of A Cloud in the Clear Blue Sky Series - Focus Flip w/ Christian Williams
FOCUS FLIP
What if your storm is the answer to your prayer?!? Most of us in the christian faith don’t want storms. We try to avoid storms, pray our way out of storms, and hope we never have to face a storm, yet Elijah prayed for a storm. Think about the last time hard things started happening in your life…. Did you immediately blame it on the devil? Did you ever consider that it's the answer to your prayer? Maybe God is using this difficulty to sharpen or strengthen. Maybe he is saying, consider my servant ________, they will be faithful to me no matter what. What if the...

Don't Overlook What Appears to be Insignificant!!! - Ep 6 of A Cloud in the Clear Blue Sky Series - Focus Flip w/ Christian Williams
FOCUS FLIP
In this week's episode... What are we overlooking because they appear insignificant? Sometimes when we deem something insignificant, we attempt to jump ahead in the process. We get distracted by greener grass instead of staying content in our field. Maybe a situation in your life feels like it’s on repeat. stale. Disatisfying? Sometimes God gives one word. Asking for one act of obedience. Sometimes that act of obedience requires repetition. Have you started to find ways to skip ahead? Taking the situation into your own hands instead of trusting the last word God has you and walking in...

Do Your Actions Follow Your Doubts or Follow Your Faith? - Ep 5 of A Cloud in the Clear Blue Sky Series - Focus Flip w/ Christian Williams EP. #16
FOCUS FLIP
The word God gave Elijah wasn’t just impacting him, it impacted the entire country. Much like if God is giving you a word, it’s not just going to impact you but it’s going to impact those around you. The importance of Elijah not giving up on the prayer for rain after three 1/2 years of nothing… the crops, the animals, and the people are all in desperate need of this rain. Yet, Elijah had to faithfully take action and pray for the cloud to show up. His steadfast determination to not quit praying until his servant saw a cloud. How many times have you gone out to see if the cloud...

The POWER of Positioning!!! - Ep 3 of A Cloud in the Clear Blue Sky Series - Focus Flip w/ Christian Williams EP. #15
FOCUS FLIP
What if your greatest strength comes through bending your knees? Yes, kneeling may be considered a weak position. One of humility and surrender, but what if it's where you are knighted and elevated? In this episode of Focus Flip, we will be focusing on 1 Kings 18:42, "So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees." Why is your positioning so important? Why is it important to create good habits when life is good? What power will you receive through doing these things? You'll find the answers to these...
info_outlineHave you ever experienced a season of waiting, praying, hoping, yet not seeing?
Have you started to wonder if you truly believe God can do it? Are you starting to question if you deserve the answer to your prayer? Perhaps those “words from the Lord” were just your feelings and emotions that created wishful thinking in your mind?
Logically this doesn’t make sense, yet something within your soul says, don’t give up. Don’t stop praying. Keep going. God is working even when you can’t see it yet. A miracle is rising from the depths.
This podcast series is based on the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18:41-46. It is a mixture of his story, my story, and other miracles to encourage you to keep praying with expectation, Don’t give up when the answer isn’t visible, but pray until you see the cloud in the clear blue sky.
At the end of each episode, I leave you with a few questions to help you dig deeper. I encourage you to take a few extra minutes and honestly answer those questions. Allow yourself to sit in the tension of your waiting - both to grieve, celebrate, and build your expectations.
