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 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.
