    Steadfast: Anchored in His Presence

    Steadfast: Anchored in His PresenceAs the busy season of fall begins, Diane reminds us that steadfastness isn’t about always feeling strong, having everything together, or being able to handle life on our own. It’s about staying anchored in God’s presence, especially when our schedules are full, our emotions are weary, and we don’t feel strong enough for what’s ahead. In this episode, Diane shares practical encouragement for guarding our time with God, staying rooted in His Word, restoring our joy, and trusting that we can remain steadfast because God is faithful. No matter what season you’re walking through, you don’t have to carry it alone—His presence is what anchors us. This episode is sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child.

    Steadfast: Create in Me a Clean Heart

    Steadfast: Create in Me a Clean HeartFall is here, and with it comes a new season of busy schedules, ministry responsibilities, family commitments, and full calendars. In this episode, Diane Nix encourages us to slow down and ask God to examine our hearts before we rush into everything this season brings. Diane shares honestly about what it means to remain steadfast when life feels overwhelming, reminding us that steadfastness isn't about being perfect or relying on our own strength—it comes from continually returning to God for renewal. Through Psalm 51:10, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me,” we are challenged to confess, surrender, and allow God to cleanse and strengthen us from the inside out. As we enter this busy season, let's keep our hearts fixed on Jesus and trust Him to give us the strength, peace, and steadfast spirit we need. Key Scriptures: Psalm 51:1–4, 10; Isaiah 26:3 📖 Living in the Overflow: Purchase the Living in the Overflow devotional and Companion Journal here: contagiousjoy4him.com/living-in-the-overflow/ Sponsors: Samaritan’s Purse & Operation Christmas Child 📱 Follow along on Instagram: @contagiousjoy4him 🎙️ Subscribe, listen, and share this episode with a woman who may need encouragement to enter this season with a clean heart and a steadfast spirit. #ContagiousJoy #Steadfast
