The Focus Filter


By Jackie Overstreet September 22, 2025

Why laser focus in Jesus Christ makes you unstoppable against distractions

Distraction doesn’t always look like danger.


If it feels good, it must be good.


No, it’s not.


Sometimes it feels like a warm hug. Sometimes it looks like the one thing you thought would make you whole. But if it derails your focus, it’s sabotage in disguise.


The enemy isn’t threatened by busyness. He’s threatened by a changed mind. Because when your focus shifts toward Jesus Christ, you become an unstoppable force. Scripture says the devil prowls, looking for whom he may devour—but he can’t devour what’s anchored.


By 25, you’ve already stored enough memory to recall lessons for a lifetime. With that wisdom and a renewed mind, your creativity becomes a weapon. God breathed life into dust and then gave you the ability to create, to shape, to build from scratch. That’s not random—it’s divine design.


Yes, missteps happen. But they’re not the end. They’re just reminders that you’re on the verge of something worth protecting. The journey itself is where the gems are found—the detours, the discoveries, the growth you wouldn’t trade for the express lane.


So here’s the question: are you filtering your focus, or are you letting distractions bankrupt your mission?


If this sharpened your vision, share it with someone fighting distraction.
