Summer's the time to buckle the family in for the classic road trip...and we've got all the hot topics you'll need to keep everyone happy!

Join Mary and Steve Alessi as they take you along for a candid car ride full of laughs, real opinions, and honest reflections. The Alessis riff on everything from the evolution of dress codes and the peculiar power of fashion trends to how public figures like the Kardashians and Joe Rogan navigate Christianity under the spotlight.

They don’t shy away from tough questions—unpacking why Christian identity isn't just about saying the right things, and calling out when church leaders miss the mark.

You’ll get practical insights on raising kids, the impact of true discipleship, and what it really means to walk out your faith in a world obsessed with image. Grab your snack of choice and buckle up—this journey is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking, and proof that family talk can make any drive fly by.

Are your kids worried about being embarrassed publicly- and could that be a good thing?

In this conversation, Steve Alessi and his daughter Lauren dig into the reality of public humiliation and why facing mean words, awkward moments, and even a little embarrassment can actually build resilience in kids.

You'll hear some not-so-flattering stories —from cringey PE memories to viral Snapchat moments—and get honest tips on teaching mental toughness, healthy self-talk, and why a “marathon mindset” matters more than sprinting for quick wins.

Perfect for parents and young adults, this conversation brings fresh insight on how overcoming small humiliations can set kids up for long-term confidence, healthy boundaries, and a better sense of self in an always-on digital age.

My Morning Devotional

There's nothing like the journey from dating - to love - to a marriage proposal - but there's a lot of stuff to handle before and after that pivotal "yes".

To sort out this very real struggle, Gaby Alessi, who is newly engaged to her fiance Christian, and her sister-in-law Richelle Alessi sit down for a candid conversation that every soon-to-be-married couple (and those who love them) needs to hear.

Drawing from real-life stories and proven lessons from their own experiences in dating and preparing for marriage, you'll get answers to questions many young couples have but few are willing to ask, like:

• How do you balance the excitement of engagement with the reality of what comes next?
• What expectations might be lurking under the surface—and how can you talk about them before they turn into big bumps down the road?
• What practical steps can set you up during your dating season for a marriage that’s not just surviving, but thriving?

Whether you’re looking forward to your own wedding day, treasure strong relationship advice, or want to support an engaged couple, Gaby and Richelle offer laughter, honesty, and wisdom you can use right now.

If you’ve ever wondered how to move from "will you marry me" to "I do", this episode is your must-listen guide.
