The Show: When Music Needs a Flying Car but Simple Still Sings

Why are we dangling cars mid-air at concerts?

Today on InSight Out, Devin Almonte explores our growing need for spectacle—and why we’ve lost the art of simply enjoying music, beauty, and life as it is. From Beyoncé’s stage mishap to a $1,000 concert ticket to a road trip wasp named Pickles, Devin contrasts a culture chasing the “next big thing” with a faith that reminds us to slow down and savor what matters.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

  • Beyoncé’s flying convertible and near accident
  • The wild inflation of concert ticket prices
  • Why fireworks, phones, and flying drones might be ruining July 4th
  • The Bible’s wisdom about craving more and finding less
  • How a wasp named Pickles became a family memory that outshined the Smoky Mountains

Join Devin for this personal and cultural reflection on joy, simplicity, and living fully in the small, shared moments of life.

📖 Scripture References:

  • Ecclesiastes 1:8 – “The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.”
  • Matthew 6:19-21 – “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…”

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.
