    Release Control

    Do you ever find yourself needing everything to go exactly as planned?

    In today’s episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud invites us to take a closer look at the anxieties and pressures that come with wanting to control every detail of our lives. Together, we'll discover how surrendering our need for control allows us to trust God more deeply, even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. We'll talk about practical ways to release our grip, lean not on our own understanding, and allow God to make our paths straight, especially when the world encourages us to rely on ourselves.

    Join our community for this encouraging devotional as we pray together, asking God to help us let go, submit our plans, and find peace in His trustworthy guidance.

    Unwholesome Talk

    Could our words be doing more harm than we realize?

    Today on the My Morning Devotional Podcast, Gaby Alessi Calatayud invites us to reflect on the power of our words and the challenge of unwholesome talk. Together, we’ll explore what the Bible teaches about being intentional with our speech, learning how unchecked words can impact our relationships and why it’s important to filter what we say through love and wisdom. We’ll discover practical ways to build others up, wrestling with the common struggle of wanting to “just say it like it is,” and recognizing the deeper call to consider others’ needs before speaking.

    Join our community in prayer and devotion as we seek the Holy Spirit’s help to use our words as a blessing—encouraging and uplifting those around us today.

    Redirecting Your Mind

    Do you find yourself caught up in your own thoughts, wondering how to break free from overthinking?

    In today’s episode, host Lauren Alessi opens up about the challenge of redirecting our minds, especially when life is overwhelming, and answers seem far away. Together, we'll explore what it means to “set your mind on things above,” as taught in Colossians 3:2, and how we can shift our perspective from our anxieties toward God's eternal truth. Whether you’re someone who lives in your head or you want to better understand those who do, this devotional will guide us through letting go of earthly worries and embracing a heavenly mindset.

    Join our community as we lean into prayer and daily devotion, seeking peace together and inviting God to help us focus on what truly matters.

    Still Instead of Spiraling

    Why is being still so challenging, especially when life feels overwhelming?

    In today’s episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to explore the struggle between spiraling thoughts and spiritual stillness, drawing wisdom from Psalm 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." Together, we’ll unpack why so many of us find it difficult to pause, trust, and let go of our worries, especially during storms. We'll look honestly at our urge to control, overthink, and fix every problem, and discover what it means to surrender our thoughts and find peace in God’s presence.

    Let’s come together as a community, seeking to practice stillness instead of spiraling. Join us in prayer and devotion as we learn to trust God with what we cannot control, and take another step toward a calmer, faith-filled day.

    You're Not What You Think

    Do you ever catch yourself overthinking and wonder if your thoughts truly define who you are?

    In today's episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to explore the powerful message behind Romans 12:2 and the idea that "You're Not What You Think." Together, we'll unpack how to renew our minds when negative thoughts try to shape our identity, why our thoughts don't have the final say over who we are, and how God’s perspective transforms the way we see ourselves. Drawing from her own experiences and her background as a counselor, Lauren Alessi shares practical encouragement for anyone who finds themselves getting stuck in their head or believing labels that don’t belong to them.

    Let’s pursue a healthier thought life as a community. Join us in devotion and prayer, and let’s remind each other who we truly are in Christ.
