In today’s episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud takes us into James 4:1–3 and challenges us to look beyond the conflicts happening around us and examine what may be happening within us.

  What do the words coming out of your mouth reveal about your source? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi Burgos takes us into James 3:9–12 and challenges us with a simple truth: praise and cursing should not flow from the same mouth.
