Have you ever thought you needed to "live a little" before fully surrendering to God?

Like maybe faith was something to save for later...after the fun years, after you've gotten it all out of your system?

That's exactly what today's Anchor Point is about.

Devin Almonte shares a lie many of us believe without even realizing it: that following Jesus means locking ourselves away, trading freedom for restriction, adventure for obligation. She shares a powerful moment from early in her sobriety when someone told her she was too young for recovery and should go "live" first.

But here's the truth she discovered: we've had it backward the whole time.

In today's Anchor Point, Devin unpacks:

• Why we think surrender to God means giving up freedom
• The dangerous advice to "live first, follow Jesus later"
• How celebrities (and everyday people) delay Christ until life feels empty
• The shocking reality: we're already in prison until we surrender

Scripture (NIV):

John 8:36 – "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
