Anchor Points: Choose Your Hard. Why Suffering With Jesus Changes Everything

Ever heard the phrase, “Choose your hard”?

Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.

Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard.

Life is full of suffering either way, but the how and who we walk through it with makes all the difference.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores:

Why life is hard for everyone, believer or not
What it means to suffer with Jesus rather than without Him
How God brings comfort, joy, and strength even in pain
What we gain when we trust Him through the hard things

Scripture (NIV):

Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

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.
