Men's Morning Devotional

Check Out the Podcast on our Metro Life Studios App!

The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world.

Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader. You’ll get truth you can take straight into your day. And you’ll know you’re not standing alone, because men everywhere are waking up to fight the same battle.

Your hosts are Steve Alessi, pastor of Metro Life Church of Miami, FL, along with his sons and other leaders of our Goodfellas men's ministry.

Join us every weekday to man up!

When Holding Back Is Strength

Ever say something you wish you could take back? A comment fired off in anger, a point you had to win, the words that left your mouth a half-second before your brain caught up. There's a reason that men let their mouths get them in trouble. Our host this week, Daniel Burgos, wraps up the week in Proverbs with a hard look at the tongue, why the more we talk, the more we slip, and why learning to hold back is a mark of real maturity, not weakness. We'll explain why Proverbs 10 lands on something

Daniel Burgos opens our 2nd week in Proverbs by walking through the short list God says He hates — not to shame you, but to protect you from pain you can't yet see coming. Most men spend years trying to fix their lives from the outside, chasing the better job, the bigger paycheck, the sharper image, while the real damage is quietly happening somewhere they never think to check. In Proverbs 6, God actually names the handf

Nowhere to Hide

Who are you when nobody else is watching? In the final episode of our first week in Proverbs, Chris Muiña wraps up a journey through wisdom, pursuit, trust, and guarding the heart with the theme every man needs to hear: integrity. Proverbs 5 warns against temptation and the consequences of compromise, then delivers a sobering reminder — God sees every path you take, both public and private.
