Anchor Points: When Diagnosis Brings Relief but God Brings Redemption

Do you ever feel relieved when you finally get a diagnosis?

Even if it’s not one you wanted...it’s something. It names the problem. It gives you an answer.

But what happens when our search for a label becomes a substitute for something deeper?

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte opens up about her own family’s experience with ADHD—and how our desire to define what’s wrong with us can sometimes distract from what’s really happening in our hearts.

She explores:

  • Why naming the problem brings a strange kind of comfort
  • The hidden danger in letting our diagnosis define us
  • How every label points to something bigger, our need for grace and healing

Yes, real struggles exist. Real pain. Real illness.

But our ultimate healing doesn’t come from knowing what we have, it comes from knowing Who holds us through it.

Scripture (NIV):

Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

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.
