The InSight Out Show: Quick Fix Culture. From E-Bikes to Ozempic, Why Slowing Down Matters.

What if slowing down is the very thing that moves you forward?

In a world obsessed with speed: instant meals, instant results, instant everything, it’s easy to believe faster automatically means better. But sometimes, the hurry we think helps us actually holds us back.

In today’s show, Devin unpacks why our need for speed can quietly pull us out of alignment with God’s pace and peace and how slowing down might just be the most productive thing you do this week.

In this episode, Devin explores:

  • Why we equate speed with success — and how that deceives us
  • The subtle spiritual danger of hurry
  • What it means to “rest, not rush” in your faith
  • How to find strength in stillness, even when everything around you moves fas

Scripture (NIV):

Isaiah 30:15 – “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.”

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.
