The InSight Out Show | Ep. 75 | Hydrangeas, “Menodivorce,” a $10K Theft Class & Florida’s Vaccine Debate

Do you ever try to “improve” something that isn’t broken?

And deeper still… are there places you’re pushing for more when God is inviting you to wait?

That’s the heart of today’s conversation.

We chase quick fixes and brighter results, but wisdom often looks like restraint. Devin shares the hydrangea story — how “just a little more” fertilizer burned what was already beautiful. And why that impulse shows up in our marriages, our culture, and our health debates. From the rise of so-called “Meno Divorce,” to a $10,000 university class on “How to Steal,” to Florida’s effort to roll back vaccine mandates, we explore how followers of Jesus can respond with wisdom instead of hurry.

Scripture:

Proverbs 2:6 — “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

James 1:3–4 — “…the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work…”

James 1:5 — “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all…”

Exodus 20:15 — “You shall not steal.”

💬 Want to talk about it more?

Where are you tempted to add “just a little more” — to a plan, a relationship, or a decision?

What would it look like to ask God for wisdom to wait instead?

Let’s talk about real-life restraint, marriage in the menopause years, and how we engage culture with grace. 👉Join the conversation in the InSight Out Community on Facebook.

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.
