Anchor Points: The Girl Who Couldn’t Smile and the Voice God Gave Her

What if the one thing you most wanted to fix… wasn’t broken in the first place?

Tayla Clement was born with Moebius syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that prevents her from smiling or moving her facial muscles. As a child, she was bullied, isolated, and constantly reminded of what she lacked. But something shifted when she stopped trying to fix it and instead started living with it. That’s when God began using her life in incredible ways.

Today’s Anchor Point reminds us that God doesn’t always heal the way we expect, but He always redeems.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How Tayla found strength by embracing what made her different
  • Why the things we long to change might be the very places God wants to use us
  • How to see God’s hand in stories that don’t look “fixed,” but are absolutely full of purpose

Scripture (NIV):

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’" Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. — 2 Corinthians 12:9

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.
