INSIGHT OUT

What do you do when life gets uncomfortable? Run? Avoid it? Pretend it's not happening? Most of us spend our lives dodging discomfort. We change seats. We ghost the hard conversation. We numb out with whatever's available. But what if God is actually meeting you in that exact uncomfortable moment you're trying to escape? On a recent flight, Devin sat next to a woman who was completely drunk. It wa...

Ever feel like your faith has turned into a to-do list? Pray, check. Read your Bible, check. Go to church, check. Sound familiar? Many of us grew up with chore charts: finish your tasks, get a reward. Maybe it was an ice cream date or extra screen time. But what happens when we bring that same mentality into our relationship with God? We start focusing more on completing the checklist than actuall...

Have you ever tried to rebuild your life into something better, only to realize you might be placing yourself at the center instead of God?

Feeling the weight of the world lately? Between inflation, rising violence, and broken systems, it's easy to feel like everything is falling apart and like our footing is slipping.

In this New Year's Anchor Point, Devin shares: Why we...

Ever had someone do you a "favor" that was really just them getting what they wanted? Like when someone takes your movie seat and acts like they're being generous by offering you a worse one?

They rescue the ones who are visibly drowning. And yet, so many o...

What if the true gifts of Christmas don’t arrive wrapped under a tree, but unfold quietly on the side of a highway, through one decision to stop, turn around, and give? We’re going back to a story shared on The Ellen Show back in 2017. One that begins with a man named Chris Wright… and a woman named TunDe Hector, walking alone with a gas can.

Have you ever found yourself asking, “God, what do you want me to do with my life?” If you’re like me, you’ve wrestled with finding God’s will, picturing your path as a straight line to success and clarity.
