Submit And Resist | Daily Devotional 1623
Have you been feeling distant from God and wondering how to find your way back? In today’s episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud takes us into James 4:7–8 and the powerful invitation to submit, resist, and draw near. When we surrender to God, we’re strengthened to resist what pulls us away from Him. And when we choose to draw near to Him, we’re given an incredible promise: He will draw near to us. We’ll be reminded that God isn’t waiting for us to fix everything before coming to Him. Whether you feel distant, unworthy, or unsure of your next step, you can seek Him right where you are through prayer, Scripture, repentance, or simply spending time in His presence. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, choosing to submit to God, resist the enemy, and take one intentional step closer to our Heavenly Father today. Tap HERE to send us a text!

Whose Side Are You On? | Daily Devotional 1622
Are there areas of your life where you’re trying to please the world more than you’re trying to please God? In today’s episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud takes us into James 4:4–6 and challenges us to examine where our loyalty truly lies. Following Jesus means allowing God’s truth and values to shape our lives, even when doing so feels uncomfortable or goes against what the people around us believe. We’ll be encouraged to consider where popularity, acceptance, success, relationships, or comfort may be influencing us more than God. Whether it’s at work, at school, on social media, or even within our families, God isn’t asking for part of our hearts. He wants our full devotion. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God for the strength to stand firm in our faith, the wisdom to navigate difficult moments with grace, and hearts that choose Him above everything else.

What Is Ruling You? | Daily Devotional 1621
What desire in your heart has become more important than God’s will? In today’s episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud takes us into James 4:1–3 and challenges us to look beyond the conflicts happening around us and examine what may be happening within us. Sometimes our frustration, jealousy, or anger isn’t simply about what someone else did. It can come from a desire, expectation, or unanswered prayer that has started to take priority over trusting God. We’ll be encouraged to examine our motives and surrender our desires back to God, remembering that even when life doesn’t unfold according to our plans, He is still good and His will is still greater than our own. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to reveal what may be ruling our hearts and help us surrender every desire, plan, and prayer to His will. Tap HERE to send us a text!

Wisdom From Above | Daily Devotional 1620
How can you tell if the wisdom you’re receiving is truly from God? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi Burgos closes out James 3 with verses 17–18 and a powerful description of wisdom from above. Godly wisdom is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. These qualities give us a guide for discerning the voices and advice we allow to influence our lives. We’ll be challenged to examine the fruit of the wisdom we receive and the wisdom we share. Does it produce peace or conflict? Does it align with God’s Word? Does it lead us toward mercy, sincerity, and righteousness? Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to fill us with wisdom from above and help us become peacemakers who bring His peace into our conversations, relationships, and communities.

True Wisdom | Daily Devotional 1619
What if true wisdom has less to do with what you say and more to do with how you live? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi Burgos takes us into James 3:13 and reminds us that godly wisdom is revealed through a good life, humble actions, and contentment. Instead of feeling the need to boast, prove ourselves, or compare our lives to others, we can allow the fruit of our lives to speak for itself. We’ll be challenged to consider whether insecurity or comparison is driving our words and learn what it looks like to simply be grateful for the season God has given us. True wisdom doesn’t need to show off. It trusts God, walks in humility, and finds contentment in what He is doing right now. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, thanking God for the lives He has given us and asking Him to help us walk in wisdom, humility, and contentment in every season.

The Source | Daily Devotional 1618
What do the words coming out of your mouth reveal about your source? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi Burgos takes us into James 3:9–12 and challenges us with a simple truth: praise and cursing should not flow from the same mouth. Just as fresh and salt water cannot come from the same spring, our words should reflect the God we say is our source. We’ll be encouraged to examine the fruit of our words, especially when jealousy, gossip, negativity, or offense begin to creep in. When we truly trust God as our provider, we can celebrate His blessings in someone else’s life without questioning what He has planned for our own. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to forgive the words that haven’t reflected Him and help us become people whose speech consistently brings blessing, encouragement, and life to those around us.

The Spark | Daily Devotional 1617
Could one small sentence be creating a much bigger fire than you realize? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi Burgos continues through James 3:5–8 and explores the powerful warning that our words can be like a spark that sets an entire forest on fire. Together, we’ll reflect on how quickly careless words, harsh reactions, or speaking without wisdom can create conflict and affect the direction of our lives. We’ll be challenged to recognize that controlling our words isn’t something we can accomplish through our own strength alone. Instead, God invites us to submit our speech to His wisdom and righteousness, learning when to speak and when to hold our tongue. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to give us wisdom before we speak and help us become better stewards of the words we use every day. Tap HERE to send us a text!

The Rudder | Daily Devotional 1616
What direction are your words steering your life and the people around you? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi Burgos takes us into James 3:4 and the powerful image of a small rudder guiding a massive ship. In the same way, our tongues may be small, but the words we speak carry incredible power to encourage, uplift, hurt, or tear down. We’ll be challenged to pay closer attention to what comes out of our mouths throughout the day. Are we speaking words of joy and encouragement, or are sarcasm, comparison, negativity, and frustration taking the lead? Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to reveal what our words say about our hearts and help us use our voices to bless, encourage, and build up the people around us.

Your Past Does Not Disqualify You | Daily Devotional 1615
Have you been allowing your past to talk you out of your future? In today’s episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña takes us into James 2:23–26 and the story of Rahab, reminding us that God is more interested in our faith-filled obedience than a perfect past. Rahab had a complicated story, but when the opportunity came to trust God, she chose faith and put that faith into action. We’ll be encouraged to stop defining ourselves by old mistakes and start walking confidently in the redemption Jesus has given us. Your history does not intimidate God, and it does not disqualify you from being used for His purposes. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God for the courage to leave the past behind, take steps of obedience today, and move forward into the freedom and purpose He has for us.

Put It On The Altar | Daily Devotional 1614
Is there something God is asking you to surrender and trust Him with? In today’s episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña takes us into James 2:21–22 and the story of Abraham, reminding us that sometimes faith means trusting God with the very thing He gave us. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to hold God’s blessings with open hands and choose obedience even when surrender feels difficult. We’ll be challenged to ask whether our dreams, plans, relationships, or even answered prayers have become more important than following where God is leading us. The goal isn’t to fear losing what we love, but to trust the Giver more than the gift. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God for an Abraham kind of faith that trusts His character, surrenders freely, and chooses obedience in every season.

Faith That Moves | Daily Devotional 1613
Does the way you live reflect the faith you say you have? In today’s episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña takes us into James 2:16–17 and challenges us to move beyond simply talking about faith and start putting it into action. Together, we’ll discover that genuine faith produces evidence through the way we give, forgive, serve, obey, and respond when God calls us to take the next step. We’ll be encouraged to consider where God may already be asking us to move. Maybe it’s making the phone call, being more generous, taking a step toward a dream, or simply obeying what He has already placed on your heart. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God for a faith that moves and the courage to trust Him enough to take action when He leads. Tap HERE to send us a text!

Are you as quick to give mercy as you are to receive it? In today’s episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña takes us into James 2:13 and the powerful reminder that “mercy triumphs over judgment.” Together, we’ll reflect on how easy it can be to expect grace when we’re struggling while quickly judging others when they disappoint, frustrate, or inconvenience us. We’ll be challenged to pause before reacting, give others the benefit of the doubt, forgive even when an apology doesn’t come, and remember just how much mercy God has extended to us.

Do you see people the way Jesus sees them? In today’s episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña takes us into James chapter 2 and challenges us to examine the subtle ways favoritism can show up in our lives. Together, we’ll discover why our value is never determined by status, appearance, income, influence, or what we can offer others. Our value comes from Jesus alone. We’ll be encouraged to follow Jesus’ example by noticing the people others may overlook, starting the conversation, learning their name, including them, and reminding them that they are valuable in God’s eyes. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to help us see every person the way He does and become people who intentionally make others feel seen, loved, and valued.

Have you ever read something that made you stop and ask, "Am I living this out, or just listening?" Today, Rachelle Alessi invites us to look deeper into the book of James together.

Don't Take The Bait | Daily Devotional 1608
Why do temptations always seem to show up just when we're most determined to grow? In today's episode, host Rachelle Alessi invites us to explore the theme of temptation as we continue our walk through James 1. Together, we'll learn how temptation begins with desire, how God never tempts us, and how His word can strengthen us to overcome any challenge that comes our way. We’ll reflect on what it means to stand firm, rely on God’s truth, and allow every season, even the hard ones—to deepen our faith. Join us as we pray together, seeking strength and perseverance from God’s word, and encouraging each other in our daily walk of devotion. Tap HERE to send us a text!

Built Through the Battle | Daily Devotional 1606
What if the battle you’re facing isn’t meant to break you, but to build something stronger within you? In this episode of the My Morning Devotional Podcast, Richelle Alessi begins a new journey through the book of James with James 1:1–8. These verses challenge us to look at trials differently, recognizing that the testing of our faith can produce perseverance, maturity, and a deeper trust in God. Richelle encourages us to shift our focus from the difficulty of the trial to what God may be developing through it. Instead of only asking, “Why is this happening?” we can begin asking, “God, what are You building in me?” In this daily devotional, you’ll be encouraged to: See trials as opportunities for spiritual growth. Ask God for wisdom when you don’t know what to do. Allow perseverance to strengthen your faith. Trust that God is working in you through difficult seasons. The battle may be uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be wasted. With God, the challenges you face can increase your capacity, strengthen your faith, and develop the maturity you’ll need for what comes next. Whatever you’re facing today, remember: the trial isn’t only about what you’re going through. It may also be about who God is building you to become. What is God developing in you through the battle you’re facing today? Tap HERE to send us a text! SUPPORT THE SHOW - AND GET BONUS EPISODES!
