What happens when the very act of parenting is treated like a crime?

Today on InSight Out, Devin Almonte explores the rising tension between protecting our children and preparing them for the world. From a toddler alone in a parked car to headlines about parents getting arrested for letting kids walk to school, Devin shares real stories that echo a growing national concern: Are we turning everyday parenting into a punishable offense?

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

• Why a trip to Walgreens left Devin questioning how to intervene
• What new childhood independence laws mean for parents in Florida, Georgia & Missouri
• How fear and control have reshaped parenting norms in America
• What Scripture says about training, not shielding, our children
• How we can raise kids who are not just safe, but strong, confident, and faithful

Join Devin as she unpacks what it means to parent with courage, wisdom, and trust and why letting go doesn’t mean letting down.

On New Year’s Day 2025, Kyler Efinger made a desperate dash through Salt Lake City Airport that ended in a tragedy no one could stop. Today on InSight Out, Devin Almonte explores Kyler’s story and asks why we so often walk past people in crisis. What does it mean to notice those who are hurting, and how can we step in with compassion instead of walking by?

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

• The heartbreaking events that unfolded at Salt Lake City Airport
• Why people often ignore those who seem troubled (the bystander effect)
• What scripture teaches about noticing and engaging with those in need
• Practical steps to move from indifference to intentionality
• How we can be better noticers in our everyday lives

Join Devin as she reflects on the story of Kyler Efinger and challenges us to live with open eyes and open hearts.

What if your independent streak is actually holding you back. Not just in life, but in faith?

In this Think Twice episode, we talk about the urge to do it all ourselves and how that mindset can quietly seep into our relationship with God. From coffee table disasters to a season of spiritual self-reliance, I’m sharing how my own “I’ve got this” attitude left me ill-equipped… and what finally shifted it.

📖 Scripture Reference:

Psalm 133:1 — “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”
