Anchor Points: The Power of a Spiritual Lifeguard

Ever notice the lifeguard at the beach or pool? They’re not there to stop you from diving in—but they are watching closely, ready to help.

What if your faith had a lifeguard too?

When we were younger, whether as new parents or newlyweds—many of us leaned on friends going through the same things. But sometimes that’s like the blind leading the blind.

That’s why spiritual lifeguards matter.

In today’s episode, Devin Almonte reflects on the power of leaning on the wisdom of older, wiser believers. Those who have been there, done that, and can help guide us with grace and insight.

We'll explore:

• Why spiritual guidance from mature believers is essential

• How older mentors reflect the watchful presence of a lifeguard

Scripture Reflection:

Proverbs 1:5 – “Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.”

💬 Who’s your spiritual lifeguard?

Have you ever had a mentor or someone older in the faith help you through a season? What did they teach you—or protect you from?

About the Podcast

InSight Out
Clarity for your mind. Joy for your heart. Timeless biblical truth for everyday life. A Christian podcast offering devotionals, conversations, and encouragement to help you grow in faith and flourish in life.
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.
