You know you're a smoker when you measure road trips by how many cigarettes you’ll smoke.

Devin knows this firsthand because she used to do it too!

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin opens up about her past as a pack-a-day smoker and the truth she learned about how quickly our bodies begin healing once we quit.

It might surprise people to hear she was once a heavy smoker, especially now, living a health-conscious, sober life. But back in the day, cigarettes were how she coped. Even into her early sobriety, quitting felt impossible.

But here’s what she didn’t know then… the body starts healing within minutes of quitting.

Even more importantly, God walks with us through the hard stuff. Devin clung to this promise:

“For nothing is impossible with God.” — Luke 1:37

In this episode, we talk about:

1. Why quitting is hard, and hope is real
2. How quickly your body responds to even small steps
3. What it looks like to lean into God’s strength, not just willpower

Scripture (NIV):

“For nothing is impossible with God.” — Luke 1:37

Have you ever prayed for peace and gotten the exact opposite?

Maybe it wasn’t a person, a place, or a thing. Maybe it was an experience you thought you needed.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores how God sometimes says no. Not to punish or disappoint, but to lovingly redirect us toward something deeper.

We often pray for comfort and quiet and assume that is how faith should feel. But what if answered prayer comes in a form that stretches us and calls us to serve?

Devin shares a moment on a flight when she prayed for solitude and instead received a divine assignment. What followed was a lesson in action, surrender, and unexpected joy.

In this episode, she shares:

1. Why God doesn’t always give us what we want
2. How faith is not just for comfort, but for connection
3. The surprising ways answered prayers can grow us and bless others

Scripture (NIV):

“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18

Age is just a number, right? Until your new boss is younger than you.

Suddenly it feels like your little sister is telling you what to do. The comparisons start. The resentment creeps in. How did they get that position? What do they have that I don't?

When Devin started a retail training program in his mid-20s, he was excited and eager to learn. Everything was great until he met his supervisor. She was two years younger. And just like that, his pride hijacked everything.

The questions spiraled: How did she get associate level when I'm still assistant? Why am I reporting to someone younger? What is she doing that I'm not?

None of those thoughts helped. But one shift in perspective changed everything.

In this Anchor Point, Devin shares:

• Why age triggers our pride and comparison more than we admit
• What God actually cares about when it comes to titles and positions
• How remembering who you ultimately serve transforms workplace dynamics
• The freedom that comes when you let go of the comparison game

Scripture (NIV): Colossians 3:23-24 – "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
