Unwholesome Talk Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

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.

Still Instead of Spiraling Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

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 Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

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.
