There was a season where I had everything that was supposed to make me feel like I'd made it — and I still felt completely empty. Not in crisis. Just hollow. And the hardest part wasn't the emptiness. It was feeling like I was the only one who felt that way.Turns out one of the greatest prophets who ever lived hit the exact same wall — not during a failure, but right after the biggest win of his life.This is the story of Elijah after Mount Carmel: the crash after the victory, the lie that convinces you you're alone, and the moment God shows up — not in fire, not in the dramatic and undeniable way you'd expect, but in a whisper.If you've ever felt distant from God without a "reason," felt burned out right after things finally went right, or found yourself quietly wanting to just stop trying — this one's for you.

What does it really mean to dream with God?We all have goals, ambitions, and plans for our lives—but how do we know if they're aligned with God's will? In this episode of Finding Focus Talks, we have an honest conversation about pursuing God-given dreams, surrendering our own desires, discerning His direction, and learning to trust Him even when the path isn't clear.If you've ever wondered:How do I know if a dream is from God?Can my ambitions glorify God?What if God changes my plans?How do I trust Him while I wait?...this conversation is for you.Our prayer is that this episode encourages you to seek God's heart above your own and to find joy in walking where He leads.Reach out to us and join the discussion in the comments!Follow Finding Focus Talks:📸 Instagram: @findingfocustalks🎙️ New episodes every week.

Why does your life matter? In this episode of Finding Focus Talks we discuss the topic of "God is Moving" where we discussed how God is moving in our lives and why that matters.

As the episode we go on to talk about the beauty of each person and how each person has something unique to offer. The purpose we serve and even discussing hard questions about suffering. This episode offers real vulnerability about the faith journey and discussion amongst brothers in Christ about how we can grow closer to Christ in this journey.

We hope that you take a few things away from this episode. First, that the God of the universe is working in your life - take time to reflect and see how He is! Second, this faith journey can be hard at times - recognize the importance of vulnerability. Finally, see the value in the puzzle. You have to listen to the episode to understand what that means.

If you have seen God move in your life we would love to hear from you. Shoot us a comment or a DM on our Instagram. Thank you for checking this video out and we pray that is impacts you in some way!

Life seems to always be changing, but there are seasons where change is expected. For us, this was the transition of going to college. Today, we had a late night conversation about how God has worked through this massive season of change.

Nick Wierzbicki, Jacob Dennee, and Noah Angle, were joined by Matthew Large to reflect on the changes that shaped us, the lessons God taught us, and how His faithfulness carried us even when we couldn’t see what He was doing. If you’re in a season of transition, feeling stretched, or learning to trust God in the unknown, this conversation is for you.

You’ll be encouraged to see that change isn’t something to fear — it’s often where God does His deepest work.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Trusting God when life feels uncertain

- Recognizing God’s presence in every season- Spiritual growth through change

- Letting God shape your future

👇 Tell us in the comments:What is one change God has used to grow you recently?

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "where is God leading me?" or struggled to make a decision in life? If so, this episode will be super helpful for you to understand how to approach answering that question and following the path God has set before you.

We were super blessed to be joined by Father Norm Douglas who helped us answer these questions and his life is a testimony of the process of discernment.
