Ungodly Indicators #3: Pride May 21, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever wondered if there's something hidden in your heart that might be pushing you away from God’s best for your life? In today’s episode, hosts Gaby Alessi explore the subtle but powerful presence of pride and how it can act as an ungodly indicator in our spiritual walk. Together, we’ll dive into Psalm 139 and uncover how true humility opens the door to conviction, transformation, and a deeper relationship with the Lord. We'll reflect on the courage it takes to ask God to search our hearts and learn how to recognize pride, even when it tries to hide.

Join us as we pray together for open hearts and a willingness to let God guide us on the everlasting way, trusting that He knows the whole story. Let’s seek Him in humble devotion as a community today.

Prayer Changes Us May 16, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever wondered why our prayers sometimes don’t seem to change our circumstances—but somehow, they change us instead? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi explores the transformative power of prayer, drawing from Philippians 4:6-7 to remind us that prayer can exchange our anxiety for God’s peace, even during seasons of waiting and longing. Together, we’ll unpack how bringing our worries and dreams to God doesn’t just shift our situation, but shapes our hearts and minds in ways we may not expect.

Join our community in prayer and devotion as we seek God’s peace that surpasses all understanding and trust Him to work in us as we wait for His timing.

Pray With Persistence May 14, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever felt tempted to give up on a prayer when the answers don’t come right away? In today's episode of My Morning Devotional, guest host Lauren Alessi invites us into a real and relatable journey of praying with persistence. Drawing from Luke 18 and the parable of the persistent widow, we'll explore why Jesus encouraged us to pray continuously without losing heart, what it truly means to trust God's timing, and how persistent prayer not only brings us closer to God but also shapes us along the way.

Let’s gather as a community, reflect together, and join in prayer, asking God for the strength to persist, trust, and continue seeking Him—no matter how long the wait may feel.

Invitation To Pray May 12, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever wondered why prayer sometimes feels more like an obligation than an invitation? In today’s episode, host Lauren Alessi welcomes us into a fresh perspective as we explore what it truly means to be invited into conversation with God. Together, we’ll discover how prayer isn’t just a religious duty, but a deeply personal experience—where God not only listens, but promises to reveal things beyond our understanding. Lauren and the Alessi Family guide us through beautiful questions about our own prayer habits and encourage us to embrace prayer as a relationship, not a ritual.

Join our community as we pray and grow together, opening our hearts to new ways of connecting with God each day through devotion.
