Anchor Points: The Friends Who Love You Enough to Be Honest

Have you ever had a friend tell you something you didn’t want to hear—but needed to?

It’s uncomfortable. It can be awkward. But sometimes, it’s the most loving thing they could do.

That’s the heart of today’s conversation.

Devin Almonte shares a raw moment from her own story of addiction—and how real friends showed up not to enable her, but to challenge her. It was risky. It was bold. But it was love. In a world that prizes affirmation, we’re called to something deeper: truth spoken in love. Because Jesus didn’t come to make us feel better—He came to set us free.

🎧 In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores

Why real friendship is rooted in love, not comfort

What it looks like to speak truth with courage and care

How to be the kind of friend who helps others grow, not stay stuck

📖 Scripture (NIV):

John 15:13 – “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

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.
