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.

    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?

    Why We Avoid the Ugly Carrots | Anchor Points | Ep. 94

    I can open a bag of baby carrots and somehow still find myself searching for the most perfectly shaped ones. The odd-looking carrots stay behind because, apparently, even my snacks have to meet some strange standard of perfection. But those little carrots got me thinking about how easily we do the same thing with ourselves. We can spend so much energy trying to become a cleaner, prettier, more acceptable version of who we think we should be. God isn’t asking us to manufacture a perfect version of ourselves. Our value isn’t found in looking polished. Maybe there’s some freedom today in remembering that He sees beyond appearances and knows us completely. Scripture (NIV): 1 Samuel 16:7 — “But the LORD said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.’” Reflection Questions: Where am I putting pressure on myself to look or seem perfect? What parts of myself am I tempted to hide or change just to feel more acceptable? How might my day change if I remembered that God looks at the heart? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    Why Your Brain Suddenly Goes Blank | Anchor Points | Ep. 93

    You know that feeling when you can picture exactly what you’re trying to say, but the word just won’t come? I’ve stood there trying to describe a laundry basket as “the big thing I use for dirty clothes.” The answer is somewhere in my brain. I just can’t quite reach it. Technology can be helpful when those gaps happen. It can give us the answer almost instantly. But that made me think about something deeper: getting the answer isn’t the same as renewing our minds. The same is true in our faith. Christian books, podcasts, quotes, and even technology can be helpful, but they can’t replace time in God’s Word. Our minds don’t just need more information. They need the truth of Christ taking root in us. Scripture (NIV): Romans 12:2 — “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Reflection Questions: What am I relying on most to shape my thoughts right now? Am I making space for God’s Word or mostly consuming things about God? What is one simple way I can spend time in Scripture today? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?

    What She Saw in a Dirty Car Window | Anchor Points | Ep. 92

    My mom noticed one of Grayson’s handprints on the inside of her car window, and instead of wanting to wipe it away, she said it made her smile. To her, it wasn’t just a smudge. It was a reminder that he had been there. It made me wonder how often God leaves little reminders of His presence in our lives that we’re too quick to clean up, move past, or overlook. Maybe it’s laughter from our kids, a phone call from a friend, or even something difficult that God is using in a way we can’t see yet. Sometimes the ordinary marks around us can remind us that God is closer than we think. His handprints are there. We just have to notice them. Scripture (NIV): Matthew 28:20 — “And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Reflection Questions: Where have I noticed small reminders of God’s presence lately? What ordinary moments might I be overlooking? What would it look like to slow down and notice His handprints today? 👉 Join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/DevinAlmonte/ 🎙️ Enjoying the show?
