Is dressing modestly just an outdated rule, or actually meaningful for young women today?

In this throwback episode from Season 6, you'll hear from Gaby, Lauren, and Stephanie as they dive headfirst into the honest truth about modesty—what it really means, why it matters, and how it shapes self-worth and confidence. Swapping funny stories and real experiences from growing up in Miami’s “unfiltered” culture, they acknowledge the pressure to show off but reveal how true confidence comes from within.

You’ll pick up practical tips for navigating fashion trends, social media, and dating with grace, and learn how to set personal standards that honor both your faith and yourself—without sacrificing style. 

The Alessi sisters show that modesty isn’t about shame, but about knowing your value, protecting it, and presenting your best self to the world—and to God. Empowering, relatable, and refreshingly real, this conversation goes way deeper than clothes.

My Morning Devotional

Ever catch yourself saying something and wondering where that came from? In today’s episode, host Gaby Alessi continues this week's series on 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.

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.

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.

What does it look like to truly value others above ourselves, even when it feels so countercultural? In today's episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to reflect on the life-changing power of humility and surrender as we continue our journey through "Life of Surrender." Together, we'll explore Philippians 2 and learn how dying to our selfish ambition and letting go of the need for recognition can open our hearts to serve and love those around us—just as Jesus did. We'll be encouraged to make room for God in our everyday lives and discover how self-denial isn't just inward, but something that affects everyone we encounter.

Join our community in prayer and devotion as we ask God to help us love with humility, serve selflessly, and see others through His eyes.

What does it look like to make more room for Christ in our everyday lives? In today's episode, we journey with Lauren Alessi as she explores what it truly means to live a life of surrender. Building on yesterday’s conversation, we’ll reflect on the words of Jesus in Matthew 16:25 — uncovering how letting go of our need for control, our habits, and even our mindsets can open the door for deeper transformation and healing. Together, we’ll discover that surrender isn’t about becoming less, but inviting more of Christ to dwell within us.

Let’s join together as a community in prayer and devotion, trusting that as we lay things down, God will fill us with something far greater and eternal.
