What does it mean to truly live in freedom and innocence? In today’s episode, host Lauren invites us to go beyond simply knowing we’ve been made innocent through Christ and to discover what it looks like to walk daily in that freedom. Jesus said in John 8:36, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” This powerful promise reminds us that the freedom we have in Him is not temporary or conditional—it is lasting, life-changing, and transforms the way we see ourselves and live each day.

Join us in prayer and devotion as we pursue lives marked by purity, freedom, and the deep peace that flows from walking closely with Jesus.

What does it mean to stand blameless and truly innocent before God? In today's episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to explore the transformative idea of innocence—not just as something we strive for, but as a gift we're given through Christ. Together, we'll reflect on Colossians 1:22 and uncover how, because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can be seen as holy, without blemish, and free from accusation. We'll also discuss what it looks like to surrender our past—whether we've made mistakes or experienced hurt—and allow God to restore and renew us from the inside out.

Join our community in this heartfelt devotional as we pray for grace to embrace our innocence in Christ and welcome God's loving view of us into every part of our lives.
