What if the true gifts of Christmas don’t arrive wrapped under a tree, but unfold quietly on the side of a highway, through one decision to stop, turn around, and give?

We’re going back to a story shared on The Ellen Show back in 2017. One that begins with a man named Chris Wright… and a woman named TunDe Hector, walking alone with a gas can. It was a cold Sunday morning. He could’ve kept driving. But he didn’t. He turned around. He gave what he had. And that choice started a story only God could write.

We’ll look at:

• How one small act of kindness—giving a ride, a tank of gas, the only money in a wallet—can reflect the heart of Christmas
• Why we often overlook “side‑of‑the‑road people,” and what happens when we choose to see them instead
• How the story mirrors the visit of the Magi; outsiders, bearing gifts, following a star, responding to God’s invitation
• How ordinary kindness becomes worship when offered in faith and love

Scripture (NIV):

Matthew 25:40 – “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Ever feel like you’re running on empty and nothing seems to fill you?

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte shares a vivid high school memory of waiting all morning for lunch. That deep, physical hunger became a surprising metaphor for the spiritual hunger we often ignore or misdiagnose.

We binge distractions. We chase quick fixes. We consume everything but what our soul actually needs. And yet, Jesus offers us a better way: bread that truly satisfies.

• Why spiritual hunger can go unnoticed until we’re totally depleted
• How temporary fillers leave us longing for more
• What it means to turn to Jesus as the bread of life
• 
  

John 6:35 (NIV) — “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

Have you ever been the one who needed to be found?

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte shares a moment no parent ever forgets — when her three-year-old son went missing. The panic. The searching. The relief. But more than anything, what struck her most was this: That’s how God feels when we’re lost.

• What it reveals about God’s love when He doesn’t wait — He comes looking
• Why we matter enough to be pursued, even when we feel forgotten
• How being found by God changes everything — fear, shame, and all

Luke 19:10 (NIV) — “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

What does it feel like when someone unexpectedly lets you skip to the front of the line?

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte shares a real-life moment in a Walgreens checkout line—how one act of kindness disrupted her sense of fairness and opened her up to the idea of receiving freely. It sparked a deeper reflection: that’s exactly how God offers His grace.

• Why we often try to “pay back” God’s grace instead of simply receiving it
• How grace isn’t about balancing scales, it’s about a gift already given

What it looks like to receive redemption with open hearts and gratitude

Titus 2:14 (NIV) — “He gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own.”

Ever feel like just getting out of bed is a victory?

Ever brought your signature cookies to a party… only to see someone else already brought the exact same batch?

It’s not just about desserts. It’s that sinking feeling of showing up excited, only to find your idea, your gift, or your contribution already taken. And then comes the voice: Why bother?

Devin Almonte shares what it feels like to step into a crowded space and why faith, not strategy, is what truly makes room for you:

• Why we often retreat when it feels like we’re “too late”
• The difference between worldly strategy and divine calling
• How Noah’s faith (and a boat with no rain) still speaks volumes to us today

Scripture (NIV):

Genesis 6:14 — So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

Ever had one of those days where nothing goes right—where tension is high, emotions are off, and every little thing feels harder than it should?

It’s easy to chalk it up to a bad day… but what if it’s more than that?

Sometimes what we’re feeling isn’t just stress or frustration—it’s spiritual. The enemy would love nothing more than for us to stay stuck, discouraged, and distant from the peace of God.

But we don’t have to accept defeat. When we pause to recognize the spiritual layer of our struggles, we can pray differently, respond wisely, and fight with faith.

In this Anchor Point we explore:

• How to discern when a bad day is actually spiritual opposition
• What Scripture says about standing firm in spiritual battle
• Why naming the real fight helps us step into real peace
• A reminder that we don’t fight alone

Scripture (NIV):

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” — Ephesians 6:11 (NIV)

💬 Want to talk about it more?

When’s the last time you stopped to ask, “Is this just stress… or is it spiritual?”

We often pray for schools from a distance—and that’s a good start. But what if we showed up?

Whether you’re walking the halls during drop-off or just driving by, praying on-site brings a deeper connection. It turns our faith into action and makes our prayers personal and powerful.

Being present where we pray changes everything.

In this Anchor Point we explore:

• Why distance can make our prayers feel disconnected
• The power of presence in our spiritual life
• Practical ways to bring faith to the places we care about—on‑site, in real life

Scripture (NIV):

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
