Anchor Points: When the Story Gets Twisted. Staying Close to the Source.

Have you ever played the game of telephone where the message starts out one way, but by the time it reaches the last person, it’s completely different?

That happened in our community recently. A car accident, two dogs, and a flurry of updates spread across social media. Each person added their own version, and before long, the story had changed.

And that’s exactly what can happen with our faith stories, too.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte explores:

  • How easily truth can twist when we’re not close to the original source
  • Why it matters to go back to what really happened—especially in Scripture
  • How to recognize when we’ve added or subtracted from God’s Word
  • What “Did God really say?” still sounds like today

Scripture (NIV):

Genesis 3:1 – “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?’”

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.
