InSight Out

Devin Almonte

Think, See, and Live Differently. As God reveals His truth and removes the blinders that keep us from seeing clearly, He calls us not only to reflect on these truths when we rise, when we lie down, and in all we do, but by His Spirit to proclaim the gospel and live in faithful obedience in every area of life. Faith In Everything. As Deuteronomy 6:6-7 reminds us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Faith transforms us from the inside out. As the gospel we proclaim takes root, it changes how we see ourselves, others, and the world. And it becomes evident in what we think, what we say, and what we do. This is more than a podcast; it’s a way of life. A call to see life InSight Out; to live as we were created to live, to flourish as God intends, and to build our lives on the unshakable foundation of His Word. Because how we live matters.

    The InSight Out Show | Ep. 165 | Are We Still Citizens?

    When was the last time you showed up for something that didn’t directly benefit you? Not a protest. Not a post. Not a complaint. But a room where you had to listen, deliberate, and stay. This episode starts with jury duty. But it does not end there. Jury duty was designed as a check on concentrated power. It forces ordinary citizens into the room where justice is weighed and decisions are made. But today, fewer people show up. Fewer civil cases go to jury trial. And more of us are choosing convenience over responsibility. This is not just about courts. It is about participation. From church business meetings to town halls to civic organizations, shared spaces that once formed citizens are thinning out. At the same time, protest activity and online expression are rising. We are emotionally engaged, but structurally disengaged. We also look at the biblical vision of freedom and responsibility. Scripture (NIV): Galatians 5:13 “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Freedom is not the end of responsibility. It is the beginning of it. 💬 Want to talk about it more? Have you ever avoided jury duty or another civic responsibility? Do you think showing up in these spaces still matters? Why or why not? Let’s talk about formation, responsibility, and whether we are still willing to hold the rope. 👉 Join the conversation in the InSight Out Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/insightoutcommunity 📩 Stay connected: Get encouragement, reflections, behind-the-scenes moments, and more in the weekly newsletter: 👉 Subscribe here: https://insightout.beehiiv.com/ 🎥 Referenced clips (used under fair use for commentary & teaching): Jury Duty Frustrations | via @lawbymike – Watch Jury Duty Humor | via @_mezasebastian – Watch Jury Duty Is Our Civic Duty | via @_natejenkins – Watch Volunteerism & Civic Decline News Segment – Watch 📚 Book Mention: Robert Putnam, Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community

    The InSight Out Show | Ep. 161 | What If You Never Actually Signed Up for This?

    Ever feel like you're being forced to pay just to be left alone? Same. We’ve been sold the illusion of freedom in our digital lives, but what if we’ve just agreed to a protection racket? Devin takes a look at how companies quietly shifted from needing our permission to pushing us into permission fatigue and why that’s a problem for our families, our faith, and our focus. In today’s Show: Why we’re paying for “freedom” from problems we never asked for The dangerous shift from opt-in to opt-out cultureHow digital platforms profit twice—first by creating the problem, then by selling us the solutionThe hidden pressure tactics baked into our everyday online experiencesA biblical lens on digital oppression—and why Leviticus still matters Scripture (NIV): Leviticus 19:13 — “Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight.” 💬 Want to talk about it more? Have you ever felt scammed by a “free” service? Or worn out trying to cancel something that seemed simple? Let’s talk about why permission should be the default and what to do when it’s not. 👉 Join the conversation in the InSight Out Community on Facebook 📩 Stay connected: Get encouragement, reflections, behind-the-scenes moments, and more in the weekly newsletter: 👉 Subscribe here 🎥 Referenced clips (used under fair use for commentary & teaching): The Godfather (Xbox) | via Max Payne – WatchThe Sopranos | via amigomac – WatchThe Abandons | via Netflix – WatchCanceling Subscriptions sketch | via @midiv3il – Watch #FreePlanTrap #OptOutCulture #ChristianPodcast #InsightOutPodcast

    Anchor Points | Ep. 159 | You Can Know a Lot… and Still Get It Totally Wrong

    Have you ever made a decision where you did all the research, checked all the boxes, and still ended up with the wrong result? We often confuse knowledge with wisdom. We think that if we know enough, read enough, research enough, then we are automatically making a wise decision. But Scripture shows us something different. In this episode of Anchor Points, Devin shares a personal story about choosing window shades for his home. He researched everything. Colors. Materials. Motorized versus manual. He brought plenty of knowledge to the table. But when it came time to sign the contract, he rushed through the most important part and left wisdom behind. The result? The wrong window shades installed. This episode explores why wisdom is less about information and more about care. Being careful. Being aware. Slowing down. Paying attention to what knowledge alone cannot see. In this episode: Why knowledge is not the same thing as wisdomHow rushing decisions can make us vulnerable to avoidable mistakesWhy wisdom is closely tied to care and awarenessHow God invites us to slow down and seek wisdom in everyday decisions Scripture (NIV): “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” - Proverbs 4:7 TODAY’S FAITH EXERCISE: Think of a moderately big decision you are facing right now. Before moving forward, pause and ask God for wisdom, not just clarity or information. Then slow down and review your next step carefully and prayerfully. 💬 Where have you relied on knowledge but skipped wisdom? What might God be inviting you to notice if you slowed down?
