You know that person who always says, “Everything’s great!”

Their spouse just got promoted, the kids are thriving, the dog’s well-behaved, and life sounds like one continuous highlight reel.

And let’s be honest…sometimes you just know they’re not being real.

Devin gets it and she’s calling it what it is: pretending everything’s perfect when it’s not. Because faith doesn’t mean we’re always standing on mountaintops; more often, we’re walking through valleys.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin unpacks what honesty in faith really looks like—and why it’s okay (and holy) to say, “I’m not okay.”

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why pretending everything’s fine keeps us from true connection
  • How God meets us in the valley, not just on the mountaintop
  • The freedom that comes when we let others see our real, imperfect faith

Scripture (NIV):

Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
