Site History

 

History of the Focused and Free Internet Site

It was the month of June, in the year 2001, during a time of earnest prayer and meditation, that Focused and Free was first conceived.

For there arose out of one man, a great and burning desire to share the joy of being delivered from a life of hopeless despair by the very One whom he had despised and cursed for nearly thirty years.

The phrase Focused and Free was simply a thought that came to mind during this time of prayer and meditation. But as the days past and the thought remained and it became more than a passing notion.

"I knew that as long as I stayed focused on Jesus, I was free from the personal demons I had fought with for the majority of my life, and I wanted to share my new-found freedom in Christ with others."

–Colorado Karl, Founder, Focused and Free

So by December of that year, FocusedandFree.com became a registered domain name and joined the online Internet community.

Focused and Free underwent several design changes over the years. The site's main purpose and goal remained the same throughout; to  "FOCUS on the TRUTH that sets us FREE" from the chains of sin and death.

Focused and Free was always privately owned and operated. Site content came from personal experience as well as outside resources. Over the years, various website building programs and Content Management Systems (CMS) were employed, in an effort to make the site attractive and enjoyable, while providing helpful and interesting content.

Focused and Free was never about religion. Rather, it was about coming to know and trust in God, so that we might grow in Him and become the person He created us to be. It was about becoming free from everything that had kept us in bondage to our fears. It was about discovering and living a life of love beyond measure.
