    642 // God With Us: How the Holy Spirit Dwells in You & Strengthens You in Every Season | Christmas Devotional
    Dec 9 2025
    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is an invitation to stop trying not to think negative thoughts—and instead flood your mind with the truth of God’s Word. We walk through Jeremiah 29:10–14 in context, looking at how God spoke to His people in exile and what it really means that His plans for us are for good, not disaster, to give us a future and a hope. You’ll hear a powerful biblical affirmation rooted in this passage, a reminder that God is restoring, rebuilding, and leading you—even in seasons that feel far from “promised land.” Then we close out the God With Us Christmas devotional with a beautiful reflection on Emmanuel: God with us, and through the Holy Spirit, God within us. If you’ve been tempted to look back at what once was, or you feel stuck in a place you didn’t choose, this episode will encourage you to live fully where God has you, trust His timing, and remember that His presence is your greatest gift in every season. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order your “For The Soul” Prayer Journal: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕 Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join the Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.

  • 640 // Jesus Our Prince of Peace: Finding Rest in a World Full of Trouble [Bible Study and Devotional]

    640 // Jesus Our Prince of Peace: Finding Rest in a World Full of Trouble [Bible Study and Devotional]
    Dec 5 2025
    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode brings us to the close of our Matthew 18 study, where Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant reminds us just how deeply we’ve been forgiven — and how that forgiveness is meant to transform the way we release others. As we revisit the flow of the chapter, from questions about greatness to wandering sheep to conflict among believers, we’re invited to see the heart behind Jesus’ teaching: forgiveness is not a suggestion but a reflection of the grace we ourselves depend on. Whether you’re wrestling with old wounds, navigating complicated relationships, or simply needing a reminder that God sees your heart, this passage gently calls us back to humility, mercy, and the freedom found in forgiving from the heart. We also wrap up Day 5 of our Christmas devotional God With Us and reflect on Jesus as our Prince of Peace — the One who calms anxious thoughts, settles weary hearts, and offers a rest this world can’t imitate. Isaiah foretold Him, the Gospels reveal Him, and we still experience Him today: steady, present, and endlessly loving. If you’ve been carrying weight He never asked you to carry, this episode is an invitation to let the Father meet you with peace that surpasses understanding. May your heart feel held, guided, and deeply loved as you step into the rest only Jesus can give. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order here: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕 Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS: ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial: https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.

  • 639 // When Life Feels Hard: How God Strengthens Your Faith Through Forgiveness and Perseverance [Bible Study and Devotional]

    639 // When Life Feels Hard: How God Strengthens Your Faith Through Forgiveness and Perseverance [Bible Study and Devotional]
    Dec 4 2025
    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, God is gently forming perseverance within us. Through Matthew 18, we continue Jesus’ powerful teaching on forgiveness — not as a burden, but as freedom. We reflect on the parable of the unforgiving servant and the sobering truth that forgiven people are called to extend forgiveness. With Jeremiah 17:10 as our anchor, we explore how God examines the heart, shapes us through challenge, and meets us with mercy every time we turn back to Him. We also move into Day 4 of God With Us, focusing on Jesus as our Everlasting Father — the One who never changes, never abandons, and never stops giving good gifts to His children. Through Isaiah 9, Matthew 7, James 1, and the parable of the Lost Son, we’re reminded that God’s fatherly love is steady, protective, and deeply personal. If forgiveness feels hard or if your earthly experiences with “father” make intimacy with God challenging, this episode gently guides you back to the truth: in Him, you have hope, healing, and a Father who calls you His own. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order here: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕 Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS: ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial: https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.

    638 // Struggling to Forgive Like Jesus? Why We Forget God’s Mercy So Quickly [Bible Study and Devotional]
    Dec 3 2025
    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode guides us through our mid-week head, heart, and soul check-in before returning to Matthew 18, where Jesus reminds us how deeply we’ve been forgiven—and how that forgiveness should shape the way we release others. We revisit the parable of the unforgiving servant and reflect on how easy it is to forget the grace we’ve received, even though our lives are constantly being watched by those around us. Then we move into Day 3 of our God With Us Christmas devotional, focusing on Jesus as our Mighty God—promised in Isaiah, revealed in His miracles, and now alive in us through the same power that raised Him from the dead. Through Peter, Paul, and Jesus’ words in John 14:12, we’re reminded that God not only works in us but desires to work through us in ways that impact eternity. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order here: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕 Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS: ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial: https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.

  • Luke 15 & Matthew 18: What Jesus Teaches About the One, Forgiveness, and God’s Compassion [Bible Study & Devotional]

    Luke 15 & Matthew 18: What Jesus Teaches About the One, Forgiveness, and God’s Compassion [Bible Study & Devotional]
    Dec 2 2025
    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode invites us to pause and breathe as we step into Luke 15 and reflect on Jesus’ heart for the one who wanders. We revisit the pastor’s question: “What are you doing with your time, talent, and treasure?” This parable isn’t just about a sheep — it’s about the heart of the Shepherd. Jesus calls us to move from believing to living what we believe, and to ask honestly: Am I willing to go after the one He places on my heart? We also begin our study of Matthew 18:23–35, where Jesus teaches on forgiveness through a powerful parable. Instead of giving Peter a number (“77 times”), He gives him a story that reveals the weight of mercy and the depth of God’s compassion. We’re reminded that His forgiveness is immeasurable, undeserved, and freely given — and it becomes the foundation for how we forgive others. Then, we step into Day 2 of the “God With Us” Christmas devotional, focusing on Jesus as our Wonderful Counselor. Through Isaiah 9, Hebrews 4, Psalm 139, and Proverbs 3, we sit with the truth that Jesus meets us where we are, understands our humanity, and invites us into honest surrender. His counsel doesn’t just offer advice — it brings healing, wisdom, and freedom. If you've been wrestling with forgiveness, longing for guidance, or needing to feel the nearness of God again, this episode will draw you closer to the One who counsels, comforts, and restores. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time?

  • 636 // Jesus Our Savior: Finding Freedom, Forgiveness & Clarity This Advent Season [Bible Study and Devotional]

    636 // Jesus Our Savior: Finding Freedom, Forgiveness & Clarity This Advent Season [Bible Study and Devotional]
    Dec 1 2025
    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode invites us into the first week of Advent with a heart-level question: What if our prayers for clarity are really just our desire for control in disguise? We explore how uncertainty can actually become the very place where God draws us closer, teaching us to trust Him moment by moment instead of relying on our own understanding. We begin our Scripture study in Matthew 18:23–35, reflecting on the parable of the unforgiving servant and the immense debt Jesus has forgiven on our behalf — a forgiveness meant to shape how we release others as well. Then we step into Day 1 of our Christmas devotional, “God With Us,” remembering that God fulfilled His promise not through a conquering king, but through a humble baby who established an eternal kingdom, freed us from sin, and brought hope to a weary world. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for clarity, or unsure of how God wants to move in your life, this episode will help you rest in the truth that Jesus has already come, already saved, and already freed you. If you’ve been waiting for clarity, wondering what God wants next, or carrying weight He never asked you to hold — this episode will breathe peace and perspective into your heart. 🎧 Tune in and let this Advent season draw you closer to Jesus, your Savior and King. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season?

    635 // Standing Firm in Freedom: How to Fight Spiritual Battles and Stay Free in Christ [Bible Study & Devotional]
    Nov 28 2025
    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is all about standing firm in the freedom Jesus already purchased for you — even when the enemy tries to pull you back into old patterns, fears, or mindsets. We start with a gentle reminder: don’t let starting stop you. Whether it’s opening your Bible, rebuilding a habit, or coming back to God after a dry season, a small start still counts. Through our biblical affirmation and Romans 12:2, we talk about how God renews our minds and reshapes our thinking as we continue to show up with Him. Then we recap our study in Colossians 3:12–17, remembering who we are in Christ — chosen, holy, and dearly loved — and what it looks like to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, love, peace, and gratitude in our everyday lives. Finally, we close out the “Freedom in Christ” devotional by Pastor Charles Stanley with a powerful reading from Day 10: Standing Firm. With Ephesians 6:10–13 and Galatians 5:1 as our anchor, we look at the reality of spiritual warfare, the lies that threaten our freedom, and the invitation to actively guard our hearts, stand on God’s truth, and remain free in Christ. If you’ve been feeling weary, attacked, or like you’re slipping back into what God already delivered you from — this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in and let God strengthen your heart to stand firm. 📓 Want a tool to help you stay grounded in God’s Word?
