FOUND in Focus | Ep.59 | His Grace Is Still Enough | 2 Corinthians 12:9

FOUND in Focus | Ep.64 | God Loves You as Much as He Loves Jesus | John 17:23

What if you truly believed that God loves you as much as He loves Jesus? In this FOUND in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn reflects on one of the most breathtaking truths in all of Scripture: John 17:23. In His final prayer before the cross, Jesus declares that the Father loves His followers just as He loves Him. It's a truth so profound that many of us struggle to fully receive it. Inspired by her conversation with Shaila Visser, this devotional explores what happens when we stop striving for God's approval and begin resting in His love. So many of us spend our lives trying to prove our worth, wondering if we're enough, or believing that God's affection depends on our performance. But the Gospel tells a different story. Before you accomplish anything, before you get everything right, before you feel worthy, you are already deeply loved by God. When this truth takes root in our hearts, it changes everything. We stop living for acceptance and begin living from it. We find freedom from performance, confidence in our identity, and peace in knowing that we belong to Him. God's love is not something you earn—it is something you receive. If you've ever questioned your value, struggled with insecurity, or wondered how God truly feels about you, this devotion is an invitation to see yourself through the eyes of a loving Father. You are not merely tolerated. You are deeply loved, fully known, and forever His. 👉 Watch Shaila’s full episode: https://youtu.be/4EcVobrZ6hQ [https://youtu.be/4EcVobrZ6hQ] 👉 Watch the devotional on Youtube: https://youtu.be/M5CzahHqkXw [https://youtu.be/M5CzahHqkXw] 🔗 Connect with Lorie Hartshorn: Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://loriehartshorn.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://loriehartshorn.com] Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/] Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart] 📢 New episodes every week!

FOUND in Focus | Ep.63 | Jesus Wept: Finding God in the Middle of Grief | John 11:35

What if God meets you in your grief—not just after it? In this FOUND in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn reflects on one of the shortest yet most powerful verses in Scripture: John 11:35 — “Jesus wept.” Inspired by her conversation with Siobhan Koch, this devotional reminds us that God’s presence is not reserved for moments of breakthrough, healing, or answered prayer. He is also present in the sorrow, the waiting, and the questions we carry when life doesn't make sense. After walking through years of infertility, heartbreaking loss, and deep disappointment, Siobhan discovered that faith isn't about having all the answers—it's about being held by the One who understands our pain. Jesus knew He would raise Lazarus, yet He still stopped to weep. In doing so, He revealed a God who is not distant from our suffering but enters into it with us. This devotional is an invitation to release the pressure to be strong, to bring your grief honestly before God, and to trust that His presence is enough even when circumstances remain unchanged. If you're carrying loss, unanswered prayers, or a season where faith feels fragile, be reminded today: you are not alone. The God who weeps is the God who stays. 👉 Watch Siobhan’s full episode: https://youtu.be/jVOf1iz7H0o [https://youtu.be/jVOf1iz7H0o] 👉 Watch the devotional on Youtube: https://youtu.be/Q5EQqWTK73s [https://youtu.be/Q5EQqWTK73s] 🔗 Connect with Lorie Hartshorn: Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://loriehartshorn.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://loriehartshorn.com] Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/] Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart] 📢 New episodes every week!

FOUND in Focus | Ep.62 | You Don’t Have to Earn Your Worth | Ephesians 2:10

What if your identity was never meant to be earned? In this FOUND in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn reflects on the truth of Ephesians 2:10 and the powerful reminder that you are God's handiwork—created with purpose, value, and intention. Inspired by her conversation with Daniel Im, this devotional explores what it means to live from your God-given identity rather than striving to prove your worth. So many of us tie our value to what we accomplish, how productive we are, or whether we feel successful. We spend our lives trying to earn significance, believing that if we achieve enough, we'll finally feel secure. But Scripture tells a different story. Before you ever did anything for God, He created you with purpose and prepared good works for you to walk in. You are not defined by your performance, your accomplishments, or the expectations of others. You are God's workmanship—uniquely designed, deeply loved, and called according to His purpose. When you understand who you are in Christ, you can stop striving for identity and start living from it. If you've been feeling pressure to prove yourself or wondering whether your life has purpose, be reminded today: God has already declared your value, and He has prepared a path for you to walk in. 👉 Watch Daniel’s full episode: https://youtu.be/tFY69uwppNo [https://youtu.be/tFY69uwppNo] 👉 Watch the devotional on Youtube: https://youtu.be/kOBFQXtnDY8 [https://youtu.be/kOBFQXtnDY8] 🔗 Connect with Lorie Hartshorn: Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://loriehartshorn.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://loriehartshorn.com] Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/] Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart] 📢 New episodes every week!
