INSIGHT OUT

We call it “being productive.” But what if rushing through the list is actually slowing down what God’s trying to do in us? In today’s Anchor Point, Devin shares how rushing through a project (like painting a basement) can end up costing us far more than time. What started as a "quick" paint job turned into cracked walls, peeled paint, and a gentle conviction. Sometimes, skipping steps isn’t just...

Ever notice how it’s easier to binge-watch your favorite show or run “urgent” errands than to sit quietly with God? We set out with the best intentions to delight in the Lord, yet distractions always seem to pull us in another direction. Like saying no to donuts at the office, only to find yourself giving in anyway. Why is it so challenging? Devin shares that following God is simple, but not easy....

What looks great on the surface but might crack underneath? From perfect-looking houses that hide flaws to digital IDs with strings attached, we’re exploring what’s really holding things up. In this Thursday edition of The InSight Out Show, we start with an Anchor Point devotional on why what’s unseen matters more than what we see on the surface. From there, we jump into a mix of quirky and critic...

What are you holding onto that's actually weighing you down? Ever been afraid to walk into church because you didn't feel "good enough"? Or hesitated to fully surrender to God because you weren't ready to let go of certain parts of your life? There's something ironic about holding onto heavy rocks while God is offering us riches. Yet so many of us do it, clinging to what's familiar, even when it's...

What can a leopard gecko teach us about spiritual growth? More than you might think. Our daughter’s pet lizard, Blur, and I don’t exactly see eye to eye. We keep a respectful distance. Yet, in her quirky little lizard way, Blur has become an unexpected teacher of faith. Every six weeks, she sheds her skin, a process that leaves her cranky, restless, and uncomfortable. But it’s also the very thing...

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 clarity and hope. Then we move into the headlines, wher...

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 today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores: How everyday an...

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 snacks, misses the point, and what it reveals about...

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, and she offers a better feast for our souls. In to...

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 become for some. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin re...

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 in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcom...

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 episode, Devin shares: Why unity doesn’t mean compro...

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 no space for brokenness in the body of Christ. Bu...

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 met. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores: What...

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’s Anchor Point, Devin explores: Why “basic” isn’t...

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 violence and grief are pressing in from every side. But...

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 rebellion. It often looks like distraction. In today’s...

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 gives us a much better way forward. You’ll discov...

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 Romans 6:23 How gratitude grows when we remember me...

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 space. As she moves with elegance and confidence, he...

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 burned what was already beautiful. And why that impuls...

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 situation felt uncomfortable. But God had something t...

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, these words carry the presence of Christ in powerful w...

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 Point, Devin unpacks: Why God allows different “fla...
