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.”

What happens when Amazon accidentally sends you two boxes instead of one? Do you keep the extra… or report it? Most of us would say we’re honest people. But today on InSight Out, we’re talking about the subtle ways we justify dishonesty — and why those little decisions matter more than we think.

From surface-level scammers to wardrobe returns and appeasement refunds, return fraud is becoming so normalized that it’s being shared on social media as a “life hack.” But Scripture offers us a better way — one that’s harder, costlier… and more freeing.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• What return fraud really is — and how it’s impacting all of us
• Why convenience is replacing character
• The spiritual cost of small compromises
• What Proverbs 11:3 and Luke 16:10 say about integrity
• How we can choose honesty, even when no one’s watching

Whether it’s a free book refund, a used dress going back to the rack, or that little company discount card you’re still using (yep — I’ve been there!), this episode will make us pause and ask: What kind of person am I becoming?

📖 Scripture References:

• Proverbs 11:3 – “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.”
• Leviticus 19:11 – “Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another.”
• Luke 16:10 – “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”
• Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

What do we do when life feels anything but easy? When prayers go unanswered, peace feels far off, and stress seems to have the upper hand?

In today’s episode of InSight Out, we’re tapping into something a little deeper than wishful thinking. Because no matter how much we’d love a big red “easy button” to fix it all, Jesus never promised that.

He didn’t offer shortcuts. He offered Himself.

In this Anchor Point devotional, Devin Almonte explores why real peace doesn’t come from escape or ease—but from presence. We’ll reflect on John 16:33 and what it means to walk with Jesus through the hard stuff instead of around it.

In this episode:

• Why faith was never meant to be the fast track to comfort

• What Jesus actually promised in John 16:33

• The danger of chasing “easy” when we need “eternal”

• Why the absence of answers doesn’t mean the absence of God

• A reminder that peace isn’t in the fix. It’s in the Father

If you’re tired, wrestling, or just hoping for a break, this episode is for you.

📖 Scripture References:

• John 16:33 – “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart…”
• Philippians 4:7 – “And the peace of God…will guard your hearts…”
• Isaiah 43:2 – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you…”

What do we call justice in a culture where vengeance is celebrated? In today’s episode of InSight Out, we explore the unsettling story of Luigi Mangione: a man accused of murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood and the cultural reaction that turned him into a trending vigilante.

From TikTok hashtags to “Saint Luigi” candles, this story reveals a growing confusion between justice and revenge. We’ll examine the moral breakdown happening around us and ask:

Who really gets to define justice?

In this episode:

• Why Mangione’s actions resonated with a disillusioned public
• How pain and broken systems can lead to counterfeit justice
• The danger of making ourselves the judge
• The difference between biblical justice and cultural justice
• Wisdom from MLK Jr.'s Letter from a Birmingham Jail
• What Micah 6:8 and Romans 12:19 teach us about true justice

If you’ve ever felt let down by the system, or tempted to take matters into your own hands, this is for you.

📖 Scripture References:

• Micah 6:8 – “Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly…”
• Romans 12:19 – “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.”
• 1 Corinthians 1:25 – “The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom…”

Tangled cords. Tangled life. Let’s stop yanking and start trusting.

You reach into a drawer and pull out a big, knotted mess of cords. So what do you do? You shake them. Yank them. Pull harder. But it only makes the knots tighter.

Sound familiar?

In our Anchor Point today on InSight Out, we’re taking a look at how that same frantic energy often shows up in our everyday lives. We wrestle with relationships, money, stress, health, and expectations—believing that if we just do more or try harder, things will untangle. But instead of peace, we find panic. Instead of clarity, we end up in chaos.

This story isn’t just about cords—it’s about the knots we carry in our hearts and homes, and what happens when we finally stop striving and start trusting God to untangle what we can’t.

We’ll explore:

• Why our frantic efforts often make things worse

• What Scripture says about patience, perseverance, and surrender

• How to release the pressure to fix it all

• What it means to slow down and let God lead—one knot at a time

Scripture Reference:

📖 James 1:4 – “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

Gene Hackman—Hollywood legend, two-time Oscar winner, a household name for decades. And yet, when he and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, passed away in their home, no one noticed… for two weeks.
