Anchor Points: When the World Feels Too Heavy to Carry

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world?

Between inflation, kids, caring for elderly parents and the constant flood of global crises, it can feel impossible to breathe, let alone respond to everything.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin shares why the pressure to “fix it all” is not only exhausting but also unrealistic and how God gives us a much better way forward.

You’ll discover:

  • Why endless world problems can leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck
  • How to ask God to “focus your focus” on what matters most
  • Why it’s okay (and sometimes holy) to turn off the news
  • The freedom that comes from knowing you’re not called to solve every problem

Scripture (NIV):

Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

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.
