Fix. Consider. Behold.

Fixing our gaze is not just a challenge in a scrolling, fractured culture. It's a spiritual battleground with life-altering stakes. As believers, we are called to anchor our hearts on Christ in a world of seemingly endless rubble, lost dreams, distraction, and shifting priorities.

Pastor Barbie shares how our focus shapes our devotion, identity, and capacity for peace. She urges us to move from surviving the ashes to beholding the significance of the cross, the person of Jesus, and the hope that outlives the fleeting trials of today. The secret is not in trying harder but in learning to see again.
