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.

    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?

    Why Does Time With God Keep Getting Pushed Back? | Anchor Points | Ep. 97

    I can start the day with the best intentions. I’m going to read God’s Word. I’m going to do the devotional. I’m going to spend time with Him. Then I check my phone, make breakfast, handle one thing after another, and somehow the whole day gets away from me. I think part of the problem is that I keep telling myself I’ll get through everything else first, and then I’ll make time for God. But maybe I have it backwards. Instead of trying to handle the day on my own and come back to Him later, what if I brought Him into it from the beginning? Following God is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. It takes intention. It means choosing Him when other things are competing for my attention. And maybe today the invitation is simply this: don’t wait until everything else is finished. Bring Him with you into it. Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 3:6 — “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Reflection Questions: What usually pushes my time with God further down the list? Am I waiting to finish everything else before bringing God into my day? What would it look like to include Him in what I’m already doing today? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    Scared God Would Change Everything | Anchor Points | Ep. 96

    Title: Why I Kept Holding On to the Rocks | Anchor Points | Ep. [###] Apple Title: Why I Kept Holding On to the Rocks | Anchor Points | Ep. [###] Episode Show Notes There was a time when following Christ honestly scared me. I was curious about God, but I also had parts of my life I wasn’t ready to hand over. They were familiar, even when I knew they were weighing me down. I picture it now like standing in front of God with my arms full of heavy rocks, telling Him I’m not ready to give them up. Not because the rocks are good, but because they’re mine. I know them. Letting go means trusting Him with what comes next. Maybe you have a few rocks too. We don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to Christ. We can simply begin to know Him, trust Him, and discover that what He gives us is so much better than what we were afraid to release. Scripture (NIV): Matthew 11:28 — “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Reflection Questions: What am I holding onto because it feels familiar, even if it feels heavy? What makes it difficult for me to trust God with that part of my life? What would taking one small step toward Christ look like today? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    Why Losing Something Might Mean You’re Growing | Anchor Points | Ep. 95

    My daughter has a leopard gecko named Blur. About every six weeks, Blur sheds her skin. Before it happens, she gets dull-looking, a little cranky, less active, and honestly not quite herself. It doesn’t look comfortable, but the shedding is part of how she grows. And watching that little process reminded me that growth in our own lives doesn’t always feel good either. There are seasons when God is pruning, refining, or helping us let go of something we’ve outgrown. We may not enjoy the process while we’re in it, but discomfort doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Sometimes it means God is making room for growth. Scripture (NIV): John 15:2 — “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” Reflection Questions: Is there an area of my life that feels uncomfortable or unsettled right now? Could God be using this season to help me grow? What might I need to release instead of trying to hold onto it? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?
