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 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.
