At the airport, I saw an elderly woman struggling with her suitcase—and dozens of people just walked right by. I helped her. But it left me wondering… how many times have I looked away? In this Anchor Point, I share why small acts of service matter deeply and how Galatians 6:2 calls us to carry each other’s burdens, even when life is busy.

After leaving my job, I realized my employee discount card still worked. At first, I justified using it—it’s their mistake, not mine. But then my stepson noticed. “If it’s wrong, why are you still using it?” Oof. That moment convicted me deeply. Proverbs 11:3 says, “The integrity of the upright guides them.” In this Anchor Point, I reflect on how God uses small moments—and sometimes small voices—to guide us back to truth. Integrity isn’t about what you can get away with; it’s about who you’re becoming.

What happens when the very act of parenting is treated like a crime?

Today on InSight Out, Devin Almonte explores the rising tension between protecting our children and preparing them for the world. From a toddler alone in a parked car to headlines about parents getting arrested for letting kids walk to school, Devin shares real stories that echo a growing national concern: Are we turning everyday parenting into a punishable offense?

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

• Why a trip to Walgreens left Devin questioning how to intervene
• What new childhood independence laws mean for parents in Florida, Georgia & Missouri
• How fear and control have reshaped parenting norms in America
• What Scripture says about training, not shielding, our children
• How we can raise kids who are not just safe, but strong, confident, and faithful

Join Devin as she unpacks what it means to parent with courage, wisdom, and trust and why letting go doesn’t mean letting down.
