There’s theology hiding in ordinary life — in routines, in distractions, in the moments we rush past. Most of us move too quickly to notice. Anchor Points is a short, story-driven devotional hosted by Devin Almonte. Each episode lingers over something familiar and uncovers what Scripture has been saying about it all along. This isn’t a rushed devotional or a motivational boost. It’s steady formation. Quiet conviction. Truth that anchors.

    You're Building Your Life Backward. | Anchor Points | Ep. 105

    Imagine trying to build a house by putting the roof on first. It wouldn't work very well, would it? And yet, sometimes that's exactly how I approach things. I remember painting our basement without using primer. I was so excited to see the room finished that I didn't want to bother with that first layer. Unfortunately, the paint didn't hold up the way I hoped. I've been thinking about how that relates to my faith. I want the beautiful finished product, a strong faith, a life that reflects Jesus, but am I taking the time to build on His truth? It's easy to want the results without the foundation. Maybe today is an invitation to return to the beginning and make sure we're building on something that lasts. Scripture (NIV): 1 Corinthians 3:11 — “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Reflection Questions: Am I spending more time chasing spiritual results than building my foundation in Christ?What part of my faith needs a little more attention at the foundation?What's one small way I can ground myself in God's truth today? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    I Skipped One Step…Big Mistake. | Anchor Points | Ep. 104

    A few years ago, I decided to paint our basement for the kids. I wanted to make the space look nice, and I figured I could save some time by skipping a few things. Primer? Painter's tape? Drop cloth? Surely those weren't all necessary. Well, the paint on the carpet and the peeling walls eventually told a different story. I wanted the finished product without doing the work that needed to come first. And I have to admit, I can approach life that way, too. I get impatient, rush through decisions, and sometimes skip steps because I just want to get somewhere. But those little steps matter. God's wisdom reminds me that taking the time to build something properly is never wasted time. Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 24:27 — “Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.” Reflection Questions: Where have I been trying to rush through a process?Are there important steps I've been tempted to skip?How can I slow down and trust God's wisdom in what I'm building? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    What If God Wants the Harder Road? | Anchor Points | Ep. 103

    Nobody enjoys driving down a road full of potholes. If I see one coming, I'm going around it. Give me the smooth road every time. But I'm facing a decision right now, and the easier path doesn't seem to be the one God is nudging me toward. That's a little uncomfortable because I can already see some of the bumps ahead, and I'm not even sure I'll like the outcome. I've been reminded that following God isn't always about arriving somewhere wonderful or getting the result I hoped for. Sometimes the real growth happens along the road itself, through the simple decision to trust Him and obey. Even when the path isn't smooth, I can trust the One leading me. Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 3:5 — “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Reflection Questions: Am I choosing a path because it's easier or because I believe God is leading me there?Is there an outcome I'm holding onto more tightly than my trust in God?What might obedience look like in a decision I'm facing right now? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    Did God Really Say That? | Anchor Points | Ep. 102

    Have you ever played the game of telephone? By the time the message reaches the last person, it's usually nothing like the original. I recently watched something similar happen in our community after a car accident involving a man and his two dogs. The story spread quickly online. People shared updates, others added details, and before long, versions of the story were circulating that had very little to do with what actually happened. It made me think about how easily we can do that with God's Word. We hear something, repeat something, or accept somebody else's interpretation without going back to the source. And little by little, the message changes. Maybe that's a good reminder for us today to open our Bibles and see what God actually says. Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 30:5 — “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Reflection Questions: Am I spending time in God's Word or relying mostly on what others say about it?Have I accepted something as biblical truth without checking the source?What would it look like to return to Scripture more intentionally? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    Nobody Noticed What You Did? Read This. | Anchor Points | Ep. 101

    When was the last time somebody gave you a genuine compliment? Not just a passing comment, but something that really made you feel appreciated. Those little words can feel like rain falling on dry ground. My daughter gave me a compliment recently, and I almost missed it. Isn't that funny? Sometimes we're so caught up in what we're not doing well that we have trouble receiving something good. So here's a little encouragement today. You're doing more than you probably realize. You're showing up, you're trying, and even when nobody else notices those small efforts, God does. Maybe today we can stop being so quick to dismiss encouragement and allow ourselves to receive it. Scripture (NIV): Hebrews 6:10 — “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” Reflection Questions: When was the last time I allowed myself to receive a compliment?Have I been overlooking the good things I'm doing because I'm focused on my shortcomings?How does knowing that God sees my efforts encourage me today? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    What If Your Diagnosis Isn't the Whole Story? | Anchor Points | Ep. 100

    Have you ever felt relieved just to have a name for something you've been struggling with? I get that. In our house, ADHD is something we're very familiar with, and sometimes having an explanation for why things are difficult feels like a huge relief. But I've been thinking about how easily we can let those labels define us. We start seeing ourselves through our struggles, our limitations, and the things we wish were different. There's comfort in understanding what we're dealing with, but there's even greater comfort in knowing who walks with us through it. Our struggles are real, but they aren't our entire story. We have a Savior who sees beyond every diagnosis and meets us right where we are. Scripture (NIV): Psalm 34:18 — “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Reflection Questions: Have I allowed a struggle or label to become part of how I define myself?Where am I looking for relief more than I'm looking to Jesus?How can I remember that my identity is bigger than what I'm facing? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    What If Your Truth Is Wrong? | Anchor Points | Ep. 99

    Imagine the fire alarm is going off, everyone is leaving the building, and I decide to stay because I don’t see any flames. I don’t smell smoke. From where I’m standing, everything looks fine. But what I believe in that moment doesn’t change what’s actually true. If the building is on fire, it’s on fire whether I can see it or not. That’s a simple reminder I need sometimes: truth doesn’t depend on how I feel about it. There may be things I wish were true or things that make more sense from where I’m standing, but God invites me to build my life on something steadier than my own perspective. His truth gives me something solid to stand on. Scripture (NIV): Ephesians 6:14 — “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,” Reflection Questions: Are there places where I’ve been trusting my own perspective more than God’s truth? What truth from God do I need to hold onto today? Where could God be inviting me to trust Him even when I can’t see the whole picture? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    What If God’s Been Doing More Than You Noticed? | Anchor Points | Ep. 98

    There’s something special about being genuinely surprised by someone’s kindness. That feeling of, “I can’t believe you did this for me. I wasn’t expecting it.” It fills you with gratitude because suddenly you’re aware of what someone has done for you. That’s how I want to be with God. It’s not that I intentionally push Him away. Sometimes I’m just moving through life, and He’s not really on my mind. But gratitude has a way of bringing my attention back to Him. It helps me notice His mercy, His love, and the ways He’s been carrying me. And maybe that’s where more joy and peace begin—not by pretending everything is easy, but by remembering that God is with us in the good things and the hard things too. A thankful heart helps us see Him again. Scripture (NIV): 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Reflection Questions: What are some things God has done for me that I may have stopped noticing? How could gratitude help me become more aware of God today? What can I thank Him for right now, even in the middle of something difficult? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?
