Struggling to believe in God's promises when nothing seems to be working out? In today's episode, host Gaby and her mother, Mary Alessi, invite us into an honest conversation about faith during seasons of delay. Together, we'll explore what it means to believe that God is faithful, even when we feel weary or when life doesn’t go according to plan. Through scripture, personal stories, and encouragement, we’ll discover how stretching our faith opens us up to God’s greater promises and how a shift in perspective can transform our waiting into a time of faith-building.
Join our community today as we pray and devote these moments to trusting God’s timing and believing for all He has promised. Let’s seek His strength together as we grow in faith, one morning at a time.

What does it feel like when life asks us to stretch beyond our comfort zone? In today’s episode, guest Lauren Alessi guide us through the idea of “stretching before strength.” Together, we’ll explore how God uses seasons of stretching—not just to prepare us for greater strength, but to grow our faith, expand our capacity, and ready us for new opportunities of influence and purpose. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:15, we’ll discover how spiritual and emotional stretching, while uncomfortable, is an essential part of becoming who we’re meant to be.
Join our community in prayer and devotion as we ask God for courage and grace to embrace growth, even when it feels challenging, and let’s strengthen our faith together.

What has been your experience with prayer, and do you find it mysterious or challenging? In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the heart of prayer—why we pray, especially when it feels like our prayers aren’t being answered. Host Stephanie Muiña shares her personal journey, drawing a beautiful parallel between the ‘why’ questions of her three-year-old daughter and our own questions for God. Through relatable stories, heartfelt encouragement, and scripture from 1 Thessalonians, Stephanie reminds us that our daily conversations with God—no matter how small—lay the foundation for deeper trust and faith, even in seasons of waiting.
Whether you’re a seasoned prayer warrior or just starting to explore what prayer means, this episode will uplift and motivate you to keep building your relationship with God, one prayer at a time.
