FLOW STATE: Chapter 1

May 17, 2026    Pastor Abe Brown

In this powerful opening message, Pastor Abe Brown explores the tension between fear, overthinking, striving, and the life God actually designed us to live.


Through the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, we discover that Flow State is not about perfection -it’s about alignment with God’s calling, design, and presence.


This message weaves together:

💧 Scripture

💧 Neuroscience & psychology

💧 Mental and emotional health

💧 Faith and surrender

💧 The power of connection and community

💧 The concept of “wells” and living water throughout Scripture

 

You’ll also discover:

✅ The neuroscience behind Flow State and “transient hypofrontality”

✅ Why fear and overthinking both block flow

✅ The difference between FLOW State and FEAR State

✅ The 5 major Flow Blockers:


Jesus said in John 7:38: “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

 

You were not created to live anxious, blocked, depleted, or constantly forcing it.

You were designed for flow.
