Do you want to spend time in His Word every day but your faith ends up on the back burner? Do you wish you were a part of a community of faith-filled women growing in their relationship with Jesus? If so, you’re in the right place! 💕 Hey ya’ll! I’m Diana Marie, a teacher, and woman of God. I have been on a faith journey for nearly 30 years, and have often struggled with consistency in the Word, wondering if I’m praying ”right”, and wondering if I’m hearing from God or if it’s just my own thoughts. It wasn’t until I faced a couple valleys of my own that I was able to realize that in order to develop the spiritual disciplines and habits that kept me on the path to seeking God - and hearing from Him - it would require seeking Him on a daily basis so I can continue to grow in my relationship with Him. In this podcast, you will boost your faith with weekly memory verses, feel refreshed by daily devotionals, and start your day with prayer so you can feel comfortable in your faith journey.

So, if you’re ready to: ✨ Finally find some friends who’ve got your back on your journey with God ✨  Connect with a community of believers who’ve been down this road before, and  ✨ Gain some rock-solid confidence in the amazing plan that God’s got for your life, Guess what?

    Not Why… But What | Trusting God in Hard Seasons | John 9: 1-16 Bible Study with Me [S4 E36]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever wondered if what you’re walking through is some kind of punishment? In John 9:1–16, the disciples assume someone must be at fault for a man’s blindness. But Jesus completely shifts the narrative. This moment was not about blame. It was about glory. In today’s Bible Study with Me, we walk through one of Jesus’ most powerful miracles — healing a man born blind — and uncover what it reveals about suffering, obedience, spiritual blindness, and the heart of God. Sis, this is not about minimizing pain. It is about magnifying purpose. God does not delight in suffering. But He is sovereign over it. ✨ In This Episode, We Explore: • A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 9:1–16 • Why hardship is not always punishment • What Jesus meant when He said this happened “so the works of God might be displayed” • The significance of the Pool of Siloam • Why obedience matters, even when it feels strange • The difference between physical sight and spiritual sight • How to shift from asking “Why?” to asking “What are You doing through this, God?” Grab your Bible. Grab your journal.

    When Pride Rejects Truth | John 8:48–59 Bible Study [S4 E35]

    Hey Sis 💛 What is the difference between knowing about God… and actually believing Jesus? In today’s Bible Study with Me, we walk through John 8:48–59 where Jesus finishes His intense conversation with the religious leaders. What begins as dialogue turns into accusation. But Jesus does not defend ego. He points back to the Father. This passage reveals something sobering. You can be educated in Scripture. You can know the history. You can claim spiritual heritage. And still reject the Son. ✨ In this episode, we explore: • A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 8:48–59 • The difference between knowing and believing • Why pride resists truth • The Greek distinction between ginosko and eido • What Jesus meant when He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM” • How rejecting Jesus is the same as rejecting God • What surrender looks like in real life Sis, truth is never threatened by rejection. But our hearts are shaped by how we respond to it. Grab your Bible. Grab your journal.

    If the Son Sets You Free: Hearing God’s Voice in a World of Lies | John 8:33–47 [S4 E34]

    Hey Sis 💛 What voice are you listening to every single day? In today’s Bible Study with Me, we continue through John 8:33–47 where Jesus confronts a dangerous misunderstanding. The religious leaders believed their heritage guaranteed their standing with God. But Jesus exposes something deeper. Spiritual freedom is not inherited. It is received through faith in Him. This episode dives into what it means to truly be set free, how habitual sin enslaves the heart, and why making room for God’s truth is the only way to distinguish between the voice of the Father and the father of lies. ✨ In this episode, we explore • A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 8:33–47 • The difference between biological heritage and spiritual fatherhood • What Jesus means by “slave to sin” • Why some people cannot hear the truth • How to make room for God’s Word in your daily life • Practical steps for reading Scripture consistently Sis, freedom is not about ancestry. It is about intimacy. If the Son sets you free, you are truly free. Grab your Bible. Grab your journal.

    From Believer to Disciple: Living in True Freedom John 8:21-32 Bible Study [S4 E33]

    Hey Sis 💛  Have you ever wondered what Jesus truly meant when He said, “The truth will set you free”? In today’s Bible Study with Me, we continue through John 8:21–32 and listen closely to one of Jesus’ final teachings in this moment. The people around Him were longing for political rescue. They wanted freedom from Rome. But Jesus offered something deeper and eternal. He offered freedom from sin. In this episode, we explore what it means to truly believe in Jesus, what it looks like to hold to His teaching, and how obedience transforms us from casual believers into real disciples. ✨ A Circle Time–style biblical affirmation from John 8:21–32 📖 Scripture study on freedom, unbelief, and the “I AM” declaration 🕊 A devotional reflection called Be Set Free 📓 A heart-level journal prompt on obedience and repentance 🙏 A closing prayer for lasting spiritual freedom Sis, freedom is not just hearing truth.

    Do You Really Know Jesus? Light of the World | John 8:12-20 Bible Study [S4 E32]

    Hey Sis 💛  Have you ever felt like someone thought they knew you… but they didn’t really know you? In today’s Bible Study with Me, we sit in John 8:12–20 where Jesus boldly declares, “I am the Light of the world.” The Pharisees knew the Law. They studied Scripture. They were educated and respected. Yet they completely missed the Son of God standing right in front of them. This episode invites us to slow down and examine the difference between heavenly wisdom and being book smart. Because faith in this generation does not require more information. It requires more trust. ✨ In this episode, we explore ✨ A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 8:12–20 📖 Scripture study on Jesus as the Light of the World 🕊 A devotional reflection on information overload versus intimacy with Christ 📓 A heart level journal prompt about trust and surrender 🙏 A closing prayer for open hearts and deeper relationship Sis, you can know Scripture and still miss Jesus. But when you follow Him, you will never walk in darkness. Grab your Bible. Grab your journal.

    When You Feel Accused: How Jesus Responds to Shame | John 8:1–11 [S4 E31]

    Hey Sis 💛  Have you ever felt the heavy weight of accusation? In today’s Bible Study with Me, we step into John 8:1–11, where a woman caught in sin is thrown at the feet of Jesus. The religious leaders want a trap. The crowd wants a spectacle. But Jesus brings something entirely different. He brings mercy. When shame meets grace, everything changes. In this episode of Circle Time for the Soul, we slow down and look closely at how Jesus responds when you feel exposed, misunderstood, or attacked. Because the way He handled that moment then is still the way He handles us now. ✨ In This Episode ✨ A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 8:1–11 📖 Scripture study on accusation, legalism, and the heart of Christ 🕊 A devotional reflection called The Gift of Grace 📓 A journal prompt for when you feel attacked or misunderstood 🙏 A closing prayer for transformation and mercy Sis, Jesus does not excuse sin. But He also does not weaponize it. He stands in the gap. And then He lovingly says, “Go and sin no more.” Grab your Bible. Grab your journal.

    How to Read the Bible Consistently (Even If You Keep Starting Over) [S4 E30]

    Hey Sis 💛  If you’ve been saying, “I really want to read my Bible more…” but you keep starting and stopping… this is your holy pause. In today’s episode of Circle Time for the Soul, we’re slowing down to talk about how to stay consistent in the Word of God in a way that actually sticks. Because if Jesus is the Word made flesh, then consistency in Scripture is consistency in knowing Him. Sometimes we do not need more motivation. We need rhythm. In this episode, we walk through: ✨ Why identity drives consistency ✨ How to make Bible reading a non negotiable ✨ Choosing a translation you actually understand ✨ Using devotional structure wisely ✨ Why journaling changes everything ✨ What to do when you fall off and need to restart Sis, consistency is not perfection. It is returning. If you are ready to become a woman who runs to the Word first instead of worry, this episode is your starting place.

    Living Water in a Divided World | John 7:25–52 Bible Study [S4 E29]

    Hey Sis 💛  Have you ever noticed how easy it is to follow the crowd without even realizing it? In today’s Bible Study with Me, we slow down in John 7:25–52, where division rises around Jesus. Some believed. Some doubted. Some argued. Some even chose violence. And right in the middle of it all, Jesus stands and declares that anyone who is thirsty can come to Him and drink. The crowd has always been divided. The voices have always been loud. But what anchors us is not public opinion. It is Jesus. In this episode, we explore: ✨ A Circle Time–style biblical affirmation from John 7:37–52 📖 Scripture study on division, discernment, and spiritual thirst 🧭 A devotional reflection called Who Is Your North Star? 📓 A heart-level journal prompt to examine who is shaping your perspective 🙏 A closing prayer to re-center your heart on truth Sis, being informed is not the problem.
