Anchor Points | Ep. 142 | Overwhelmed by the World? This Truth Changes Everything

Feeling the weight of the world lately?

Between inflation, rising violence, and broken systems, it's easy to feel like everything is falling apart and like our footing is slipping.

But God is not surprised by any of this. In fact, He told us it would come.

And He also told us something even more powerful: Take heart. I have overcome the world.

In this New Year's Anchor Point, Devin shares:

  1. Why we don’t need to sugarcoat the struggles we’re facing
  2. How Jesus gives us real peace, not empty positivity
  3. A powerful posture for entering 2026 with grounded faith

Scripture (NIV):

John 16:33 – “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

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.
