Anchor Points: What If You’ve Got the Wrong Impression?

Ever met someone and thought, wait... this isn’t what I expected?

That’s the tension today’s episode sits in.

We live in a world of assumptions, accusations, and snap judgments. Devin Almonte shares a powerful reflection on what happened when she "heard" things about someone and then actually met them. The story she heard didn’t match the man she met.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores:

  • What happens when headlines replace truth
  • The subtle ways we pass on bias
  • A personal story that reveals why we need to pause before we speak
  • How John 7:24 challenges us to go deeper than appearances

Scripture (NIV):

“Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” – John 7:24

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.
