    Why “Just” Minimizes Your Calling | Anchor Points | Ep. 39

    Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’m just a…”? Just a mom. Just a teacher. Just a fill in the blank. It sounds small—but it says more than we think. In today’s Anchor Point, I’m reflecting on how easily we minimize what we do, even when those roles carry real purpose and meaning. Because there’s nothing “just” about the way God has placed you. What you do matters. Where you are matters. And you don’t need to shrink it to make it sound more acceptable. Scripture (NIV): Colossians 3:23 — “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,” Reflection Questions: Do I tend to minimize what I do or who I am? Why do I sometimes downplay my role? What would change if I saw my work as meaningful and God-given? 👉 Join the conversation: What’s something you’ve been calling “just” that deserves more value?

    Why Wise Guidance Matters | Anchor Points | Ep. 38

    Have you ever asked someone for advice only to realize they were just as unsure as you? Sometimes we lean on people who mean well, but don’t have the wisdom we really need. In today’s Anchor Point, I’m sharing a simple reminder of why guidance matters—and how important it is to seek wisdom from those who’ve walked the path before us. There’s something comforting about learning from people who have experience, perspective, and a deeper foundation of faith. We’re not meant to figure everything out on our own. And we don’t have to. Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 11:14 — “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers..” Reflection Questions: Who do I go to for guidance in my life? Am I seeking wisdom from those with experience and faith? How can I be more intentional about learning from others? 👉 Join the conversation: Who has been a wise influence in your life?

    Why Honest Friends Matter | Anchor Points | Ep. 37

    Have you ever had someone tell you something you didn’t necessarily want to hear… but needed to? There’s a difference between someone who keeps things easy—and someone who truly cares. In today’s Anchor Point, I’m sharing a personal story that highlights how real love sometimes looks like honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable. Because the people who care about us most aren’t the ones who ignore what’s hurting us. They’re the ones willing to gently tell the truth. And that kind of love reflects the way God cares for us too. Scripture (NIV): John 8:11 — “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” Reflection Questions: Do I have people in my life who are honest with me in love? How do I respond when I hear hard truths? How can I show that same kind of care to others? 👉 Join the conversation: Has someone ever told you something hard—but helpful?

    Knowing About God vs Knowing Him | Anchor Points | Ep. 36

    Have you ever felt like you knew a lot about someone… but didn’t actually know them? It’s easy to do that today. We can look people up, read about them, scroll through their lives—but that doesn’t create a real relationship. In today’s Anchor Point, I’m reflecting on the difference between knowing information and truly knowing someone—and how that applies to our faith. Because the same can happen with God. We can learn, read, and gather knowledge… but real connection happens in His presence. And that’s where faith starts to feel personal. Scripture (NIV): Philippians 3:10 — “I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,” Reflection Questions: Do I spend more time learning about God or being with Him? What does “knowing God personally” look like in my life? How can I create more space to connect with Him? 👉 Join the conversation: What helps you feel more connected in your relationship with God?

    What You’re Filling Your Mind With Matters More Than You Think | Anchor Points | Ep. 35

    Have you ever scrolled for a little too long… and felt worse afterward? It’s easy to take in more than we realize—especially when it comes to the content we’re surrounded by every day. In today’s Anchor Point, I’m sharing a simple reminder that what we consume doesn’t just pass through us—it shapes us. And while we don’t have to ignore what’s happening in the world, we also don’t have to carry all of it. There’s value in being intentional about what we allow into our minds and hearts. Because what fills us will eventually flow out of us. Scripture (NIV): Philippians 4:8 — “Whatever is true… noble… right… pure… think about such things.” Reflection Questions: What kind of content am I filling my mind with daily? How does it affect my mood, thoughts, or outlook? What’s one small change I can make to be more intentional? 👉 Join the conversation: What’s something positive that’s been encouraging you lately?

    Mother's Day Recipe Card | Anchor Points with Devin Almonte | Ep. 34

    Happy Mother’s Day. Today I’m thinking about those old recipe cards—faded handwriting, little food stains, maybe passed down from a mom, grandma, or great-grandma. There’s something special about how one little card can bring a kitchen back to life. The sounds, the smells, the comfort, the feeling of being close to those we love. And it reminds me of Scripture. If a simple recipe card can carry that much memory and love, how much more can the Word of God meet us with comfort, wisdom, and the presence of Christ? It’s not just words on a page. It’s alive—and it’s available to us every day. Scripture (NIV): Hebrews 4:12 — “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Reflection Questions: What’s something simple that brings back a sense of comfort or home for me? Do I approach Scripture as something alive and personal? What’s one small way I can open God’s Word today? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    The Small Things You Ignore Don’t Stay Small | Anchor Points | Ep. 33

    Have you ever noticed something small and decided to just keep an eye on it? Maybe it didn’t seem like a big deal at first. Easy to ignore. Easy to come back to later. In today’s Anchor Point, I share a simple moment with a small spot on the ceiling that didn’t seem urgent—until it was. And it’s a reminder that the same thing can happen in our lives. Little things don’t always stay little when they’re left unattended. But this isn’t about guilt or pressure—it’s just an invitation to be honest with ourselves and bring those things to God sooner rather than later. Because growth doesn’t happen in ignoring… it happens in addressing. Scripture (NIV): Song of Songs 2:15 — “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards…” Reflection Questions: Is there something small I’ve been ignoring that needs attention? Why do I tend to put off dealing with certain things? What would it look like to bring this to God today? 👉 Join the conversation: Have you ever ignored something small that turned into something bigger?

    Why You Don’t Have to Fix Everything | Anchor Points | Ep. 32

    Have you ever felt like everything around you is suddenly “bad for you”? One minute something is good… the next it’s not. It can feel overwhelming trying to keep up, like you’re responsible for getting everything just right. In today’s Anchor Point, I’m sharing a moment of realizing just how exhausting that mindset can be—and how freeing it is to remember that we’re not the ones holding everything together. The world isn’t perfect. It never was meant to be. But that doesn’t mean we have to live stressed and overwhelmed by it all. There’s peace in remembering that this isn’t our final destination—and we’re not the ones responsible for fixing everything. Sometimes the most grounding thing we can do is simply trust God in the middle of it. Scripture (NIV): John 16:33 — “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Reflection Questions: Do I feel pressure to “get everything right” in life? What areas of my life feel overwhelming right now? What would it look like to trust God more instead of trying to control everything? 👉 Join the conversation: What’s something lately that’s been making you feel overwhelmed?
