Fix Your Focus in 2026: Obedience Turns Fear Into Authority

In this powerful episode of the Family of Faith Podcast, Pastor Doris Flores delivers a timely and deeply personal word for 2026:
“Fix your heart. Fix your eyes. Fix your mind.”

After a year filled with shock, loss, anxiety, and uncertainty, many people are still feeling the effects—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Pastor Doris explains how shock can linger, quietly impacting our faith, decision-making, vision, and sense of purpose. But the message doesn’t stop there.

Through a compelling teaching from Exodus 4, the story of Moses and the rod, we’re reminded that God doesn’t begin with what we lack—He begins with what we already have in our hands. This episode explores how obedience transforms fear into authority, how faith operates when logic runs out, and why fixing our focus on God is essential for moving forward.

This message is both practical and encouraging, calling listeners to surrender fear, step out in obedience, and trust God with what feels ordinary, uncertain, or intimidating.

The episode concludes with a heartfelt prayer for those battling fear, anxiety, insecurity, overwhelm, and hopelessness—offering peace, clarity, and renewed strength through Jesus Christ.
