Is It Wrong to Snack Before You Pay? | The InSight Out Show | Ep. 215

When “No” Doesn’t Stop You, But Should It? | The InSight Out Show | Ep. 222

Have you ever met someone who just refuses to take no for an answer? There’s something admirable about that kind of persistence. Luisa Yu spent decades chasing a dream most people wouldn’t even attempt—visiting every country in the world. Visa delays, financial pressure, people telling her it wasn’t safe… she kept going anyway. And eventually, she made it happen. But here’s the tension… just because we can push through every “no,” does that mean we always should? In a world that celebrates hustle, ambition, and doing whatever it takes, how do we know when persistence is faith… and when it’s just us forcing our own way? Scripture (NIV): Proverbs 19:21 — “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Reflection Questions: What’s something you’ve been pushing hard to make happen… and have you actually invited God into that direction? Is it possible that not every “no” is an obstacle to overcome—but sometimes guidance to listen to? 👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

A Penny And A Prayer | The InSight Out Show | Ep. 221

One man spent 45 years picking up pennies—and turning each one into a prayer. It’s simple. Almost easy to overlook. But maybe that’s the point. Gratitude isn’t found in big moments alone—it’s built in small, consistent ones. So what are we walking past every day that could actually draw us closer to God? Scripture (NIV): 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Reflection Questions: What small things in your life have you overlooked lately? How can you build gratitude into your daily routine? 👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Why Are We Still Unhappy? | The InSight Out Show | Ep. 220

We’ve never had more access, more comfort, or more opportunity—and yet, many people are still deeply unhappy. Studies show a connection between faith, community, and lower levels of unhappiness. Which raises a question worth sitting with… are we looking for fulfillment in places that were never meant to provide it? Scripture (NIV): Psalm 16:11 – “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” Reflection Questions: Where do you tend to look for happiness first? What role does faith and community play in your sense of fulfillment? 👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Carried When You Can’t Walk | The InSight Out Show | Ep. 219

A father carries his paralyzed son up multiple flights of stairs when an elevator breaks. No hesitation. Just love in action. Moments like this remind us what real strength looks like. Not independence—but willingness to carry and be carried. Because at some point, we all need help. The question is… are we willing to receive it? Scripture (NIV): Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Reflection Questions: Who has carried you in a difficult season? Are you willing to let others support you when you need it? 👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.

A Simpler Way to Shop—and Live | The InSight Out Show | Ep. 218

Grocery shopping can feel overwhelming—too many options, too much spending, not enough clarity. But a simple method is gaining attention for helping people simplify the process. It’s not just about groceries though. It reflects a bigger desire for order in a chaotic world. So maybe the question isn’t just how we shop—but how we live. Are we intentional, or just reacting to everything around us? Scripture (NIV): 1 Corinthians 14:33 – “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.” Reflection Questions: Where in your life do you feel overwhelmed by too many choices? What would it look like to bring more intentional structure into your routine? 👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.
