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:

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

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

📖 Scripture References:

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

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.
