My Morning Devotional

What do we hold on to when life feels heavy with grief and loss? In today’s episode, Richelle Alessi and her husband, Chris Alessi, open their hearts to explore the comfort found in God’s unchanging love, even in our most difficult seasons. We’ll reflect on the promise from Malachi 1:2, “I have loved you,” and learn together how to rebuild our lives on the solid foundation of God’s faithful love, especially when everything feels broken. As we share in this journey of overcoming challenges and embracing hope, let’s remind ourselves and each other that God is near to the brokenhearted and continues to restore our souls.

Join our My Morning Devotional community as we pray and devote these moments to drawing close to God’s love, trusting that He will strengthen and comfort us each day.

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.
