The InSight Out Show | Ep. 13 | Florida Says Yes to Gold, Should We? Don’t Wait for the Rain to Start Building.

What happens when our money is no longer tied to anything real?

Today on InSight Out, Devin Almonte explores Florida’s bold new law allowing gold and silver to be used as legal tender—and why this is about much more than coins and currency. It’s about trust, stewardship, and the unseen forces shaping our economy and our faith.

From the collapse of the gold standard to biblical commands about honest scales, we'll look at what happens when a nation’s monetary system breaks down and how believers can respond not with panic, but with preparation and wisdom.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

  1. What Florida’s House Bill 999 actually means—and why it matters
  2. Why fiat currency quietly punishes savers and rewards overspending
  3. What Scripture says about honest weights and measures
  4. How inflation functions like a hidden tax
  5. Why preparing like Noah isn’t panic—it’s obedience
  6. How to trust God while being wise about your resources

This is about stewardship. Integrity. And remembering where our real treasure lies.

📖 Scripture References:

  1. Proverbs 11:1 – “The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.”
  2. Leviticus 19:35–36 – “Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity…”
  3. Psalm 24:1 – “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it…”

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.
