INSIGHT OUT

Devin Almonte

Think, see, and live differently. By uncovering God’s truth and removing the blinders that keep us from seeing clearly, we are called not only to reflect on these truths when we rise, when we lie down, and in all we do, but to live them out in every area of our lives. 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 is not meant to stay in our thoughts; it is meant to be lived out in action. What fills our minds and hearts shapes our lives, and what we truly believe must become evident in how we live. Together, we will learn what it means to live this out every day. This is more than a podcast; it is a way of life, a call to see life InSight Out, to live as we were created to live, flourish as God intended, and build our lives on the rock-solid foundation of His Word. Why? Because how we live matters.

    Anchor Points: Trading Heavy Rocks for Heaven's Riches. Why We're Afraid to Let Go.

    What are you holding onto that's actually weighing you down? Ever been afraid to walk into church because you didn't feel "good enough"? Or hesitated to fully surrender to God because you weren't ready to let go of certain parts of your life? There's something ironic about holding onto heavy rocks while God is offering us riches. Yet so many of us do it, clinging to what's familiar, even when it's hurting us. Devin Almonte gets real about her own fears: the fear of going to church, the fear of not being "right-side-up" enough, and the fear of giving her whole life to Christ. But here's the truth she discovered: those rocks we're clutching? They're doing nothing but weighing us down. 🎧 In today's Anchor Point, Devin explores: Why fear keeps us from fully surrendering to GodThe irony of holding onto what weighs us down while rejecting what sets us freeWhat happens when we finally trade our rocks for His richesHow to take the first step when you're afraid of letting go 📖 Scripture (NIV): Matthew 11:28-30 – "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light." 💬 Want to talk about it more? What "rocks" have you been holding onto that God's been asking you to release? Maybe it's a habit, a relationship, a fear, or just a part of your life you've been too afraid to surrender. Let's talk about what it looks like to finally let go and what happened when you did (or what's keeping you from doing it). 👉 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. 🙌 Help Spread the Word: If this episode resonated with you or reminded you of someone who's been afraid to fully surrender, share it with them.

    Anchor Points: Growing Through the Shedding Seasons

    What can a leopard gecko teach us about spiritual growth? More than you might think. Our daughter’s pet lizard, Blur, and I don’t exactly see eye to eye. We keep a respectful distance. Yet, in her quirky little lizard way, Blur has become an unexpected teacher of faith. Every six weeks, she sheds her skin, a process that leaves her cranky, restless, and uncomfortable. But it’s also the very thing that helps her grow and stay healthy. In today’s Anchor Point, Devin reflects on how Blur’s shedding reminds us of the pruning process in our own lives. God calls us to let go of the old so we can grow into the new. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable, even painful, but it’s always purposeful. In this episode, Devin explores: What a lizard’s shedding can reveal about our spiritual journeyWhy pruning and letting go is necessary for growthHow John 15:2 shows God’s loving work in shaping us to bear more fruit 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.” 💬 Want to talk about it more? Have you ever gone through a season where God was helping you “shed” old habits or mindsets? How did it shape your faith? Let’s talk about the hard but holy work of pruning. 👉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.

Then we move into the headlines, where we'll talk about skyrocketing property tax woes and what it reveals about fairness, stewardship, and how we live as citizens in God’s world. In today’s show: Why seeing with spiritual eyes matters more than everHow an Uber ride in California became an everyday echo of Jesus’ way of seeing peopleThe property tax crisis many homeowners face — why assessments can be unfair, what you can do, and why it touches deeper issues of justiceA Scripture anchor to help us stay grounded amid frustration and fear Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 11:1 – “The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.” 💬 Conversation Starter For Our FB Group: Was there ever a time when someone remembered a detail about you. Maybe a struggle, something you love, a small comment. And it made you feel truly seen? What was it, and why did it matter so much?
