Think, see, and live differently. By uncovering God’s truth and removing the blinders that keep us from seeing clearly, we are called not only to reflect on these truths when we rise, when we lie down, and in all we do, but to live them out in every area of our lives. As Deuteronomy 6:6-7 reminds us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and wh ...

Have you ever looked and yet failed to see? What if God invites us to more than surface vision. To discern what’s beneath, beyond, and behind what meets the eye? In this week’s InSight Out Show, Thursday Edition, we kick things off with a grounding Anchor Point devotional, a call to strengthen our spiritual vision so we can navigate life with clari…

When you see handprints on a window, do you get annoyed or do you smile? Smudges on the car windows can feel like a nuisance…until you see them differently. Devin Almonte shares how her perspective clashed with her mom’s when it came to her son’s handprints, and how this small moment became a much bigger lesson about noticing God’s presence. In tod…

Ever caught yourself picking through a bag of baby carrots, searching for the perfect ones and leaving behind the odd, misshapen pieces? In case you didn't know, those uniform, bite-sized snacks aren’t even real. There’s actually no such thing as a baby carrot. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin unpacks why our chase for perfection, even down to our sn…

If you ate Cheetos for 3 hours every single day, how sick would you feel? Sounds ridiculous, right? Yet most of us are doing something just as harmful without realizing it spending hours a day scrolling, comparing, and numbing ourselves on our phones. Devin Almonte paints a vivid picture of how those “digital Cheetos” eat away at our time and joy, …

Have you noticed how easy it is to scroll past sadness these days? Another tragic headline, another life lost and we barely pause before moving on. Behind every story is a name, a face, a family, a soul made in the image of Christ. Devin opens up about a deeply personal moment of loss and the shocking words that revealed just how routine death had …

What happens when outrage becomes the business model? And deeper still… how do we live as people of light when social media profits off division, anger, and even violence? That’s the heart of today’s show. The assassination of Charlie Kirk shocked our nation and revealed the dark power of outrage culture. But Scripture reminds us: “The light shines…

Can Christians really pursue unity in a divided world without watering down their convictions? We live in a culture where disagreement often becomes a personal attack. Some people are willing to come to the table, but others reject faith, free speech, even the very value of life. So how do Christians live out unity in that kind of world? In this ep…

Ever feel like church is more about smiles than honesty? Like everyone’s living the highlight reel, even when life is anything but? In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte looks on something many Christians feel but don’t always say out loud: the pressure to be “okay.” From surface-level smiles to curated conversations, we can start to think there’s…

Ever met someone and thought, wait... this isn’t what I expected? That’s the tension today’s episode sits in. We live in a world of assumptions, accusations, and snap judgments. Devin Almonte shares a powerful reflection on what happened when she "heard" things about someone and then actually met them. The story she heard didn’t match the man she m…

Feeling scattered lately? Like your faith needs a reset? Sometimes we overcomplicate it—life, faith, all of it. But God’s truth is surprisingly simple. And that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. This week’s Anchor Point is about going back to the basics. Three foundational truths that hold us steady when everything else feels uncertain. In today…

How do we face unthinkable evil like the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk, without being swallowed by despair? Please join me in praying for his family. Grieving this unimaginable loss. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk, to the senseless killing of Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina, to everyday fears we live with in our neighborhoods, evil viole…

Have you ever been floating in a pool or at the beach and suddenly realized that you’ve drifted way farther than you meant to? That’s the thing about drifting. It’s subtle, it’s quiet, and it takes no effort at all. But Hebrews 2:1 reminds us to “pay the most careful attention” so we don’t drift away from God. Drifting doesn’t always look like rebe…

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world? Between inflation, kids, caring for elderly parents and the constant flood of global crises, it can feel impossible to breathe, let alone respond to everything. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin shares why the pressure to “fix it all” is not only exhausting but also unrealistic and how God…

Devin Almonte takes a closer look at the cultural obsession with “deserving” and how Scripture reshapes that mindset. Romans 6:23 reminds us of what we actually deserve and the incredible mercy of what God freely gives instead. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores: Why the “I deserve” mindset can quietly distort our faith The humbling truth of R…

Do you find that the more time you spend with someone, the more you start acting like them? Picking up their mannerisms, their expressions, even their pace? I came across a video that took this idea to another level. A woman in a red dress stands on one side of a large frame, and her Border Collie stands on the other. No mirror between them—just sp…

Do you ever try to “improve” something that isn’t broken? And deeper still… are there places you’re pushing for more when God is inviting you to wait? That’s the heart of today’s conversation. We chase quick fixes and brighter results, but wisdom often looks like restraint. Devin shares the hydrangea story — how “just a little more” fertilizer burn…

Have you ever had to take direction from someone younger than you? Maybe a new boss, a manager, or even a volunteer leader, and it just felt…awkward? That’s exactly what happened when Devin started a new job. Everything seemed fine until she realized her new boss was younger than she was. Suddenly, pride and self-doubt began to surface, and the sit…

When’s the last time someone said “hello” to you and you actually felt like they meant it? And here’s the real question: when’s the last time you said it with the power of Christ behind it? That’s today’s Anchor Point. A simple “hello,” “how are you,” or “have a great day” may not seem like much. But when spoken with genuine kindness and love, thes…

What color is your faith today...blue, red, yellow, or something in between? Ever roasted a marshmallow and noticed the shifting colors of the flame? Blue, yellow, red, even flashes of white and orange. Each one gives off a different intensity of heat. That simple science lesson gives us a powerful picture of faith and refining. In today’s Anchor P…

Would you talk to a digital version of your loved one after they died? Buy a movie only to find it’s been deleted from your account? Or trust the system when the data shows babies are dying at shocking rates? This episode of the Insight Out Show goes deep on what’s being lost in a world of short attention spans, endless subscriptions, and digital f…

What’s your first reaction when your day gets interrupted? If you’re anything like me… it’s not joy. Especially when I’m in a quiet moment—or deep in “God time.” But what if those interruptions weren’t distractions… but invitations? In today’s Anchor Point, Devin shares a moment where everything she had planned got thrown off—by a late repairman. W…

What happens when anxiety takes the wheel even when you’re supposed to stay on the path? From calm anticipation to sudden panic—that’s the unexpected ride of anxiety at the car wash. In a moment, logic vanished and fear hijacked the wheel. But this moment mirrors our spiritual lives when we forget who is guiding. In today’s Anchor Point, I share: H…

Have you ever thought about the kind of inheritance you’ll leave behind? We often think of money or material things, but what if the greatest inheritance has nothing to do with a bank account? In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte shares a powerful reminder: we are building spiritual wealth every day with God, and it’s not meant to end with us. In…

Have you ever lied… about reading your Bible? One pastor asked his congregation to read Hebrews 14. The next week, he asked who did it—half the room raised their hands. There’s just one problem… Hebrews 14 doesn’t exist. We've lied about big things, small things, and some things that felt necessary in the moment. But lying doesn’t free us. It traps…

Ever been turned off from faith because of a Christian’s hypocrisy? Maybe you’ve thought...If that’s what following Jesus looks like, I’m out. The truth is, Christians stumble. We mess up. We fail to reflect God well. And too often, that becomes the excuse for others to dismiss faith altogether. But here’s the reminder: our failures don’t define wh…

Would you eat butter made from air? Trust a robot to carry your baby? Or maybe just try to figure out what “best by” actually means on your yogurt. 😳 This is the debut of the new Insight Out Show, a weekly Thursday episode within the Insight Out Podcast where faith meets culture, news, and encouragement. Here’s what’s inside the very first episode:…

Ever found your day slipping by without a moment for God? And deeper still… do you ever notice how the tone of your day shifts when you start with Him versus when you don’t? That’s the heart of today’s Anchor Point. We often rush into our day fueled by coffee, to-do lists, and deadlines—but forget the most important priority of all: time with God. …

Ever rolled into church late, coffee in hand, wondering if it even mattered how you showed up? I have. And I usually don’t think twice about it: jeans, flip flops, maybe even still brushing off breakfast crumbs. But then I heard a story from my mom that stopped me in my tracks. She saw a beautifully dressed woman at the grocery store early one Sund…

Ever heard the phrase, “Choose your hard”? Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard. Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard. Life is full of suffering either way, but the how and who we walk through it with makes all the difference. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores: Why life is hard for everyone, believer or not What…
  continue reading
 
We don’t often think of worry as a sin, it’s just something we do. But as Pastor John MacArthur pointed out, when we cling to worry, we’re telling the world we can’t fully trust God. In today’s Anchor Point, we explore: Why worry quietly undermines our faith How to notice and stop the spiral of fear A simple daily shift to remember you’re held by G…

Ever feel the urge to “set someone straight” in the comments section? I’ve been there, ready to "defend" my faith online, until Hebrews 12:14 stopped me cold: “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” In today’s Anchor Point, we explore: How to recognize when defending your faith b…

We’ll rearrange our entire lives for our favorite sports teams, but do we have that same loyalty to Jesus? If we shouted about Christ like we cheer for our team, imagine the impact. In today’s Anchor Point, we explore: Why sports loyalty challenges our spiritual commitment How to channel our passion toward God A biblical call to love the Lord with …

When was the last time you looked up—really looked up—at the night sky? Lying on my deck under a blanket of stars, I’m struck by how small I am and how big God is. Science discovered a “super earth” 137 light years away, in a habitable zone where life could exist. To me, discoveries like this don’t diminish God, they magnify Him. In this morning's …

When someone says, “Sit up straight!”, do you instantly fix your posture or roll your eyes? Now… what if we told you we're not talking about your back, but your spirit? We all know the benefits of good physical posture: better breathing, less pain, more strength, faster recovery. But our spiritual posture? That’s just as important, and the alignmen…

Have you ever had life slam to a sudden stop, completely catching you off guard? I was just warming up on the treadmill at the gym, minding my own business, when suddenly it jolted to a dead stop. No warning. No slowing down. Just done. Thankfully, I kept my balance. But it got me thinking… what about those other moments when life does the same thi…

Have you ever judged someone (or something) based on how suspicious it looked? Turns out, even birds can fall victim to snap judgments. When an innocent pigeon was arrested in India for possibly being a Chinese spy (yes, really), it sparked more than international confusion, it raised some real questions about trust. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin …

Ever prayed for a sign… then totally missed it when it showed up in neon? Yeah. Me too. We say we want direction. Clarity. A nudge. But when the moment comes, especially if it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or unexpected, we sometimes blink, hesitate, or pretend it’s not for us. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte shares a moment in her own life…

Ever wonder if a loved one is still somehow with youmor if your dog knows something you don’t? It’s a question that’s crossed many of our minds. A flicker in the room. A dog acting funny. A dream that felt too real. For some, it leads to thoughts of reincarnation or past lives. But the truth of the gospel points to something far more hopeful. In to…

Have you ever been in the right and still left hurting, still waiting for justice? That’s the heart of today’s Anchor Point. What do we do when we’ve done nothing wrong, but still carry the pain of loss, injury, or betrayal? How do we respond when justice feels slow—or never arrives at all? In today’s episode, Devin Almonte shares an honest reflect…

Ever felt like you were stuck waiting for answers, clarity, or just forward motion? What does it actually mean to “wait on the Lord”? Waiting can feel like wandering in the wilderness, especially when you’ve prayed, planned, and hoped—but the outcome hasn’t come yet. In this episode, Devin Almonte opens up about a season of long-term waiting, fille…

Do you ever invite someone to run errands with you—or do you prefer to get it done solo? Most of us run errands on autopilot: quick trips, get in, get out. But what if God sees those moments as opportunities for connection and ministry? In this episode, Devin Almonte shares how a casual car ride with her daughter turned into an unexpected moment of…
  continue reading
 
Ever been drawn to someone for no apparent reason… only to realize later it was a divine setup? Sometimes we assume it’s coincidence. But what if that person you “randomly” sit next to, bump into, or can’t stop thinking about—was placed there on purpose? In today’s devotional, Devin shares a story from before she found her faith, when one airplane …
  continue reading
 
Who’s the “rock” in your life—the one person who brings comfort, stability, and strength? We all have, or hope to have, someone who feels like our steady place. For Devin, it was her dad. But when he passed away, she realized the painful truth: even the strongest people in our lives are still human. That’s when the Rock of Gibraltar came to mind an…

Ever been told something that shocked you—and went against everything you believed was right? When Devin Almonte was 21 and newly sober, a man told her to go “have fun” and come back to sobriety later. That moment and her surprising response still sticks with her. Why? Because it revealed a deeper cultural lie: that freedom is found in doing whatev…

Ever jumped to the wrong conclusion—then had to eat your words? Yeah. Us too. Today’s Anchor Point is a call to slow down, assume less, and offer grace—especially when we’re convinced we’re right. Devin shares: • A humorous personal story about misplaced car keys and misplaced blame • How quickly we jump to judgment (especially with loved ones) • W…

It’s human to want recognition. But what if the greatest reward is the one no one else sees? Today’s episode is about working for the audience of One—even when no one says thank you. Devin shares: • A personal story of feeling unseen after sacrificial service • Why earthly recognition isn’t the same as eternal reward • What Colossians teaches about…

Why are we still chasing happiness like it’s hidden? Study after study (and the Bible) reveal something we tend to overlook: true happiness isn’t about success, status, or even relationships. It’s about faith. Devin shares: • What research shows about church attendance and emotional health • How our culture defines happiness vs. what God promises •…

Have you ever asked God for help… and then missed the help He sent? It happens more often than we think. We pray, plead, and wait for God to move—and sometimes overlook the very answer He’s already placed in front of us. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores: • Why we miss God’s provision when it doesn’t look the way we expect • What it means to …

Are you talking about God… or to Him? Psalm 23 makes a shift from “He leads me” to “You are with me.” That change? It’s everything. In this Anchor Point, Devin unpacks: • How our language reveals our intimacy with God • What Psalm 23 teaches about personal relationship • Why God doesn’t want to be referenced—He wants to be known Scripture (NIV): Ps…
  continue reading
 
What really matters in the end? It’s not politics, paychecks, or achievements. It’s people. Faith. And peace with God. Today’s Anchor Point is a call to realign what we chase—before it’s too late. Devin reflects on: • Her father’s final days and what truly mattered • Why we should stop waiting for a “later” shift in priorities • How an eternal pers…
