FOUND in Focus | Ep. 58 | No One Is Beyond Redemption: Made in the Image of God | Genesis 1:27

FOUND in Focus | Ep. 65 | The Freedom Christ Died to Give You | Galatians 5:1

What if God cares more about your freedom than your influence? In this FOUND in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn reflects on the life-changing truth of Galatians 5:1: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Inspired by her conversation with Faytene Grasseschi, this devotional explores how the greatest work God wants to do in our lives isn't building our platform, it's restoring our identity. Before Faytene spoke to crowds, influenced leaders, or impacted a nation, she faced a hidden battle with anorexia and bulimia. Beneath the struggle was a deeper issue: identity. Like so many of us, she discovered that the enemy often attacks who we believe we are, before he ever attacks what we do. Jesus didn't come simply to help us manage our struggles. He came to break the chains that keep us bound. When our identity is rooted in Christ instead of performance, approval, or success, we no longer have to strive to prove our worth. We can live from the freedom He has already secured for us. If you've been wrestling with hidden battles, striving for acceptance, or building your life on performance, this devotion is a reminder that God desires your freedom before your influence, your healing before your platform, and your identity before your assignment. Because when you're secure in who you are in Christ, you can walk into any calling without losing your peace. 👉 Watch Faytene’s full episode: https://youtu.be/p_arsF9fBNU [ https://youtu.be/p_arsF9fBNU] 👉 Watch the devotional on Youtube: https://youtu.be/NxqsfDXbQD4 [https://youtu.be/NxqsfDXbQD4] 🔗 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!

Ep. 65 | If Not Now, Then When? With Faytene Grasseschi | Courage, Calling & Faith in Canada

What happens when private healing becomes the foundation for public courage? In this raw and compelling conversation, Faytene Grasseschi shares the hidden battle that shaped her calling long before national broadcasts, advocacy, and speaking into Canada’s political landscape. Before she became a bold voice at the intersection of faith and government, Faytene spent a decade fighting anorexia and bulimia. She opens up about the identity wounds beneath those struggles, the spiritual breakthrough that brought lasting freedom, and how God used her healing to prepare her for influence. From missionary work in a West African war zone to courageous engagement in Canadian politics, her story is one of transformation, surrender, and bold obedience. In this episode, we explore: - The identity struggles and spiritual lies behind eating disorders - The keys to lasting freedom and restoration in Christ - What it means to be “marked” by God for cultural influence - Navigating opposition, political pressure, and public scrutiny - How believers can engage culture and politics with courage and peace This is a story of freedom before influence. Healing before leadership. Identity before impact. If you’ve ever wrestled privately while sensing a public calling, this episode will encourage you to trust that God forms leaders in hidden places long before He positions them in visible ones. 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/p_arsF9fBNU [https://youtu.be/p_arsF9fBNU] 🔗 Connect with Faytene Grasseschi: Website: https://www.faytene.tv/ [https://www.faytene.tv/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faytene/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/faytene/?hl=en ] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/faytene/ [https://www.facebook.com/faytene/ ] Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FayteneShow [https://www.youtube.com/c/FayteneShow] 🔗 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.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!
