A slow fire discipleship podcast calling sons into maturity. Firm Foundation Focus unveils the Father’s eternal intention, a vast family of sons, centred in Him, conformed to the image of The Son. Each episode draws sons from independence into oneness, learning to live by the indwelling Christ and to walk as mature sons who express His nature. Rooted in the maturing process of the new man, who we are in spirit, it explores the ways of the Father revealed through the Spectrum of Sonship. Discover what it means to share the very Life of the Son, and know the Father as Jesus knows Him.
147 What Is He Building? #9 - ‘Self Can Never Build What He Is After - Part 1’
Why does this Christian life seem so exhausting? In this episode of What Is He Building?, we look at self and flesh, and Paul’s statement in Romans 8 that flesh will not submit to God — “indeed it cannot.” The old man has already been crucified with Christ. His Cross IS my cross! Taking up my Cross is my AGREEMENT with the Father concerning what He has already done, and the new man is fully alive, learning to walk in newness of Life.
Abraham and Sarah had the promise of God, but they couldn’t make it happen. Sarah was barren, and Hagar gave them something they could actually do. Ishmael was born “according to the flesh,” while Isaac was born “through promise.” Self wants to know HOW? What am I supposed to do? How do I make this happen? But the Lord visited Sarah “as He had said,” and did for Sarah “as He had promised.”

146 What Is He Building? #8 - ‘A Son, A Bride, A Dwelling Place’
In today’s episode of What Is He Building?, we’re going to see how the Father has always wanted a vast family of sons, the Son has always wanted a counterpart, a Bride, and Holy Spirit has always wanted a permanent dwelling place — and how each member of the Godhead finds Their desire in you and in me. We follow the story from Israel, His firstborn son, to Jesus Christ, the Last Adam and the Firstborn among many brothers, and the new humanity that comes from Him and shares His Life.
Humanity in Adam could only reproduce Adam, so Jesus didn’t come to repair the old humanity; He came as the Last Adam to bring it to its end in His death. The one grain fell into the ground, and from the One came the many: sons born of God, the Bride who comes from Christ and shares His Life, and a dwelling place for Holy Spirit. Christ is our Life, His Life in us is Light, and as that Light exposes self and flesh, the Life already within the new man increasingly finds expression. The Father has His sons, the Son has His counterpart, Holy Spirit has His dwelling place — you have been brought home in THE Son, because you are what They have always wanted.

145 What Is He Building? #7 - ‘Like All the Nations’
“I cannot produce anything.” In this episode of What Is He Building?, we come to the tyranny of self-production and the breaking that exposes our inability to manufacture what the Father is after. Self can produce an enormous amount of Christian activity and even build something that appears successful, but the fire reveals what it was built with and where it came from.
Following Israel, His son, into the land, we see what happens when something genuinely given by God is taken into our own hands and we assume responsibility for the outcome. Israel looks at the peoples around her and asks for a king “like all the nations,” and the same comparison can begin in us when we look at what somebody else has and start measuring what God has placed in our hands against what He has placed in theirs.
He is building a certain kind of person: sons who are learning that everything that comes from the Father is unto the Father, that what He places in our hands never becomes independent from Him, and that what He is building must come from His Life and will stand the test of fire.
