Let's Talk, Pt. 3: Change Your Filter Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

Do the words we say each day really matter? In today’s episode, host Gaby Alessi invites us to explore the power of our words and the influence of our mindset on what we speak. Together, we'll look at Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 15, where He reminds us that it’s not our situation or what comes into our lives that defines us—but what comes out of our mouths. We’ll discover how our filters—like tiredness, frustration, or even joy—shape our words, and how we can choose to put on a filter of faith, grace, and endurance no matter what we’re facing.

Let’s lean in as a community, praying for God to transform our hearts and speech, so that even in challenging circumstances, our words can be life-giving fountains of hope and encouragement. Join us as we begin our day seeking God’s guidance together in prayer and devotion.

Let's Talk, Pt. 2: Check Your Fountain Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

Do our words bring life to the people around us, or do they sometimes add to the chaos? In today’s episode, host Gaby Alessi invites us into an honest conversation about the power of our words as she continues the “Let’s Talk” series. Together, we’ll explore Proverbs 10:11 and reflect on how easy it is for our exhaustion or frustration to turn our words into sources of negativity—yet God calls us to be fountains of life. Through real-life stories and heartfelt lessons, we’ll learn how to speak life even on our toughest days and allow God’s grace to help us uplift those we encounter.

Let’s come together in prayer and devotion as we seek to be people whose words overflow with life, hope, and encouragement.

Let's Talk, Pt. 1: Choose Your Words Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

What impact do our words have on our lives and the people around us? In today’s episode, host Gaby Alessi kicks off a brand new series called "Let’s Talk," inviting our community to reflect on the power of self-talk and the importance of every word we speak. Drawing from Matthew 12:36-37, we’ll explore together how our words can either lift up or tear down, and why being mindful of what we say—whether in person, online, or even in private moments—is a vital part of living out our faith.

Join us as we start this thought-provoking devotional journey, praying together for hearts and tongues that edify, encourage, and honor God through every conversation.
