Rabbi Curt Landry is calling believers to examine their spiritual vision and align their focus with God’s purposes during the Hebrew month of Tammuz, which he describes as a season of reflection, discipline and intentionality.
“Tammuz is the ‘Month of the Eye’ — a time focused on what you see, both physically and spiritually,” Landry said during a recent podcast episode. Referencing the biblical story of the 12 spies who scouted the Promised Land, he noted, “You have 10 that go out and see giants, and then you have two that see the fruit and the opportunity for harvest.”

The rabbi emphasized the need to protect one’s eye gate and avoid consuming media or information that stirs fear or anger. “Keep your eyes on the promise — don’t be glancing off and looking at bad reports,” he warned. “This is the month where the 10 with the bad report caused 40 years of wandering in a wilderness.”
To practice what he preaches, Landry took a 45-day break from social media to reset spiritually. “I shut down for … 45 days … and I spent that time seeking the Lord,” he said. “I was struggling getting over [offenses], and I can’t do this — my ministry — if I’m not settled with the Lord.”
That period of consecration brought breakthrough. “I got healed from all offenses … I learned how to soar above the circumstances,” he said. “I don’t wrestle against people … these are spirits … and I overcame it.”
Landry encouraged listeners to not only guard their eyes but also cast vision for their future. “Create a vision board … visualize yourself in that lifestyle,” he explained. “When you do … what you will look upon and think upon, it will happen.”
As men and spiritual leaders especially face increasing cultural pressures, Landry challenged them to rise with boldness. “Where are the men?” he asked. “Joshua and Caleb were men. The other 10 had no courage.”

He concluded with a practical yet powerful reminder: “Little eyes, be careful what you see. Stay focused on what the Lord is asking you to go. This month is about vision, purpose and identity — and what you do with your eyes will shape your future.”
