    Still And Know

    When was the last time you truly let yourself pause and just be still?

    In today’s episode, host Gaby Calatayud invites us to step away from the rush of daily life and discover the peace found in Psalm 46:10—“Be still and know that I am God.” Together, we’ll reflect on how this timeless message speaks to parents feeling the weight of holiday expectations, those navigating grief or singleness, and anyone facing financial uncertainty. Through their honest conversation, we’ll learn how being still is not about giving up, but about trusting God’s faithful presence in every season of life.

    Join our community for a gentle, heartfelt devotional and let’s unite in prayer, finding rest in God’s promises together.
