Light Has Dawned

In this special Mother’s Day devotional, Ann Calvillo from From Wrong to Strong Ministries shares a powerful message from Ephesians 1 about identity, grace, and spiritual blessings.

As moms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and defined by everything we do. But God reminds us that we are first His beloved daughters. In Christ, we already have every spiritual blessing we need. No striving. No performing. Just resting in who He says we are.

This encouraging message will remind you that you are chosen, loved, forgiven, and equipped for this season of motherhood.

Perfect for:
 • Christian moms seeking encouragement
 • Women growing in their identity in Christ
 • Anyone needing a reminder of God’s grace and purpose

What does it really mean to “remember those in prison” in Hebrews 13:3?

In this devotional, Omar Calvillo unpacks the powerful call for believers to stand in unity, compassion, and action. Scripture doesn’t call us to feel distant sympathy, it calls us to identify deeply with those who are suffering.

Through passages like 1 Corinthians 12:26, Matthew 25:36, and Isaiah 61, this message reveals God’s heart for the incarcerated, the mistreated, and the forgotten. Jesus identifies Himself with those in prison, and the gospel reminds us that we all stand by grace, not by merit.

This episode is both an encouragement to those behind bars and a challenge to the church to live out true biblical compassion.

If you’re passionate about prison ministry, faith in action, or understanding the deeper meaning of Scripture, this message will strengthen and inspire you.

In this From Wrong to Strong Weekly Devotional, Cisco Terrazas brings a powerful reminder from 1 Corinthians 3:5–9 about our true role as believers.
Many Christians carry pressure that was never meant for them. We feel responsible for results, for change, for outcomes in people’s lives. But Scripture makes it clear: we are called to be faithful, not responsible.
Some plant. Some water. But God alone brings the growth.
Through key passages like Gospel of John 15:5, Epistle to the Romans 1:16, and Second Epistle to the Corinthians 5:20, this devotional will help you:

*Release the pressure of trying to change people
*Understand your God-given assignment
*Stay faithful in planting and watering
*Trust God fully with the results

You are a vessel, not the source.
An ambassador, not the Savior.

Stay connected to Christ, remain faithful in your calling, and let God do what only He can do.

In this message preached at New Life Community Church in Cicero, Omar Calvillo walks through Colossians 1:15–20 to answer one of the most important questions in life: Who is Jesus, really?

Many people know about Jesus, but few truly understand His power, authority, and supremacy. In this sermon, you’ll discover that Jesus is not just a good teacher or a helper in hard times. He is the image of the invisible God, the Creator of all things, the head of the church, and the only one who can reconcile us back to God.

This message explores:

•  The supremacy of Christ over all creation, seen and unseen 
•  What it means for Jesus to be Lord, not just Savior 
•  The reality of spiritual warfare and the unseen realm 
•  How Jesus rescues us from darkness and brings us into His Kingdom 
•  The power of the cross and what it means to be reconciled to God 

Through Scripture and personal testimony, this sermon challenges you to move beyond a surface-level understanding of Jesus and respond to Him fully.

When you see Him rightly, you will move differently.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we honor the life and legacy of William "Bill" Fay, author of Share Jesus Without Fear and a devoted evangelist who spent his life pointing people to Jesus Christ.

Just weeks before going home to be with the Lord, Bill Fay recorded one final message while in hospice, a clear, urgent, and compassionate call to the gospel.

In this special devotional, you will hear Bill’s own words as he shares the truth of salvation, the reality of sin, and the hope found only in Jesus Christ. This is more than a message. It’s an invitation to surrender your life to Christ and experience true transformation.

Whether you are searching, struggling, or growing in your faith, this episode will challenge and encourage you to respond to the truth of the gospel.

“For the gospel is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes…” – Romans 1:16

In this powerful devotional, Cisco Terrazas walks through Acts 4:7–12, where Peter and John stand boldly before opposition and proclaim the name of Jesus Christ.

After healing the lame man, they refuse to take credit and instead point to the risen Savior. This moment reminds us that the miracle was the sign, but the resurrection is the message.

Salvation is found in no one else. The resurrection of Jesus is not optional. It is the foundation of our faith and the proof that He is the Son of God.

This devotional challenges us to move beyond silence and step into boldness. The same Jesus who healed then is alive today, and through Him we have salvation, hope, and access to the Father.

Be encouraged to stand firm, speak truth, and proclaim the name above every name.

In this powerful devotional, we walk through Revelation 5 and uncover a life-changing truth. What no one else could open, Jesus did. The Lamb who was slain is worthy, and through His sacrifice, He redeemed people from every tribe, language, and nation.

If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualified you or your story was too broken, this message is for you. Your life is not random. You were purchased with a purpose. Jesus doesn’t just save us, He transforms us into a kingdom and priests to serve God.

This episode will encourage you to see your testimony as more than a story. It is evidence of redemption and a call to point others back to Christ.

From broken to called.
From bound to serving.
From wrong to strong.

Tune in and be reminded that your story is part of a greater song heaven is already singing: Worthy is the Lamb.

We’re celebrating a major milestone. By God’s grace, the From Wrong to Strong Podcast has reached over 25,000 downloads.

To mark this moment, we’re going back to where it all started.

This is an encore release of the very first episode ever recorded. In this powerful conversation, Omar Calvillo sits down with JC Almanza, the man who challenged him to take the first step and launch this podcast.

What began as one act of obedience has grown into a nonprofit ministry, reaching people inside and outside prison walls through testimonies, devotionals, and outreach.

Since that first episode, we’ve seen lives impacted, stories of redemption shared, and a growing movement centered on transformation through Jesus Christ.

If you’re new to the podcast, this episode will give you a clear picture of the heart behind From Wrong to Strong Ministries. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, this is a powerful reminder of how far God has brought us.

What does baptism really mean, and why is it so important for every believer?

In this powerful weekly devotional, Cisco Terrazas breaks down the true meaning of baptism through Romans 6:4, Acts 2:38, and Matthew 28:19. Baptism is not just a religious act. It is a bold declaration that your old life is buried and you are raised to walk in new life through Jesus Christ.

If you’ve ever struggled with your past, identity, or taking the next step in your faith, this message will challenge and encourage you. Baptism is not about perfection. It is about surrender, obedience, and stepping fully into the life God has called you to.

If the Holy Spirit has been stirring your heart, this is your moment. Take the step.
