Anchor Points: When You Need to Hear “You’re Doing a Good Job”

When was the last time somebody gave you a compliment?

You might be racking your brain right now trying to remember and maybe it’s been a while.

Compliments can feel like refreshing rain on parched ground. They revive us, remind us that we’re seen, appreciated, and valued. But sometimes, we dismiss them because deep down, we don’t feel like we deserve them.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte shares a heartfelt reminder that God notices every effort you make, even when no one else does. She also reveals how a small compliment from her daughter became a quiet message from God about grace, worth, and being seen.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why we sometimes deflect compliments instead of receiving them
  • How God’s encouragement reaches us in small, unexpected ways
  • What it means to rest in the truth that you are seen, loved, and doing better than you think

Scripture (NIV):

Psalm 33:18 – “But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.”

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.
