Anchor Points: Building Without a Foundation. Why It Never Lasts.

Ever started something completely backward?

Maybe you’ve launched into a project and realized halfway through—you missed the most important step.

That’s exactly what happened when I once skipped using primer before painting a wall. It seemed like a time-saver… until the paint went on patchy and uneven, demanding double the effort and frustration.

And honestly? That paint job became a powerful picture of faith.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin shares how skipping spiritual “primer” moments like time in prayer, Scripture, and surrender can leave our lives looking uneven and fragile.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why a strong foundation in the Gospel matters before anything else
  • How “quick fixes” can’t hold the weight of real faith
  • What it means to let God build your life from the ground up

Scripture (NIV):

Psalm 127:1 – “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”

About the Podcast

InSight Out
Clarity for the mind. Joy for the heart. Truth for the times. Christian news, devotionals & podcast conversations to help us flourish.
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.
