The InSight Out Show: From Painted Cows to Digital IDs. What’s Beneath the Surface?

What looks great on the surface but might crack underneath?

From perfect-looking houses that hide flaws to digital IDs with strings attached, we’re exploring what’s really holding things up.

In this Thursday edition of The InSight Out Show, we start with an Anchor Point devotional on why what’s unseen matters more than what we see on the surface. From there, we jump into a mix of quirky and critical stories:

  • 🏠 Anchor Point Devotional: What’s it built on? Why foundations, spiritual and cultural, matter more than appearances.
  • 🐄 Strange News: The Ig Nobel Awards and the bizarre brilliance of painting cows like zebras.
  • 📱 Main Story: Digital IDs in the UK. Are they convenience or control? And what it means for us in the U.S. (Be sure to go back and listen to Episode 20 on China's Social Credit System too)

Scripture (NIV):

2 Corinthians 4:18 – “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

What looks good on the outside but doesn’t last? A relationship, a trend, or maybe even a system?

And when it comes to Digital IDs, would you trade convenience for control?

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.
