True Alignment Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

How do we know if our lives are truly aligned with God's word?

In today's episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud explores the theme of "True Alignment," sharing personal stories and biblical wisdom on how easy it is to let opinions, headlines, and even well-meaning messages from others guide our paths. Together, we'll reflect on Psalms 119:105 and learn how to identify and address the little inconsistencies or "foxes" that can keep us from fully glorifying God. We'll hear how genuine alignment comes from submitting our hearts to God's truth, recognizing our blind spots, and letting His word be the lamp to our feet.

Join our community as we pray for clarity, humility, and the strength to stay rooted in God's light. Let’s seek true alignment in our devotional journey together.
