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
