    You’re Hearing God’s Word… But Are You Doing It? | James 1:19-27

    Hey Sis 💛 What does it really mean to hear God’s Word…and actually do what it says? Today we’re studying James 1:19–27, where James challenges us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger, and—most importantly—not just hearers of God’s Word, but doers of it. We’ll talk about why James compares Scripture to a mirror, what our words can reveal about what’s happening in our hearts, and what it looks like to allow God’s Word to actually change the way we speak, respond, love, and live. Grab your Bible, Sis, and let’s study together. 💛 🔴 Study James with the Bible Study Companion Guide https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 🎁 SEPTEMBER BONUS: Subscribe to the Bible Study Companion Guides this month and receive the completed Gospel of John Guide FREE! ⭐️ Get weekly encouragement + love notes https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com/ ⏰ In This Episode Biblical Affirmation Recap Scripture Study — James 1:19–27 Devotional Journal Prompts Prayer 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 🤍 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📖 Circle Time for the Soul Bible Study Guides https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 📖 Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org 📖 Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org 📖 BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com 📖 My Bible — Spiritual Growth Bible (NLT) https://amzn.to/4urjU8R 🎬 Continue the James Bible Study Series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAFhBdqOmI1Q&si=F6fhCYzlXUNyJHF_ 🎵 Music: “Buenos Dias” by Matt Large via Epidemic Sound My heart here at Circle Time for the Soul is to create a space where we can encounter God through studying His Word, build a deeper relationship with Him, and live like Jesus together—one day at a time.

    Temptation Doesn’t Start Where You Think It Does...It's Time To Prepare! | James 1:9-18

    Hey Sis 💛 What if the best time to prepare for temptation is before it ever shows up? Today we’re studying James 1:9–18 and talking about money, temptation, steadfast faith, our identity in Christ, and the unchanging character of God. Because temptation doesn’t always arrive as one huge, obvious decision. Sometimes it looks like a shortcut. A little compromise. Choosing what feels good or easy right now instead of what we already know honors God. And Sis, we don’t have to wait until temptation is staring us in the face to decide how we’re going to respond. James shows us how temptation progresses, where our true worth comes from, and why deciding on our boundaries before we’re tested can help us stand firm when the moment comes. And we’ll end with one of the sweetest reminders in this passage: every good and perfect gift comes from our unchanging Father, and through Christ, we are His prized possession. Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s get into it, Sis. 💛 🔴 Study James deeper with the Bible Study Companion Guides https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 🎁 SEPTEMBER BONUS: Join the Bible Study Companion Guide subscription this month and receive the complete Gospel of John Companion Guide FREE. ⭐️ Get encouragement + weekly love notes delivered to your inbox https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com/ 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 🤍 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📖 Circle Time for the Soul Bible Study Guides https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 📖 Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org 📖 Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org 📖 BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com 📖 My Bible — Spiritual Growth Bible (NLT) https://amzn.to/4urjU8R 🎵 Music: “Buenos Dias” by Matt Large via Epidemic Sound Some links in this description may be affiliate links, which means we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

    When You Don’t Know What to Do: The Wisdom Remedy | James 1:5-8 Bible Study

    Hey Sis 💛 What do you do when you genuinely don’t know what to do next? Maybe you’re facing a decision. Maybe you’re walking through a season that feels uncertain. Or maybe you’ve been asking God for direction and wondering, “Lord… which way am I supposed to go?” In today’s Bible study, we’re walking through James 1:5–8 and talking about the wisdom remedy. James reminds us that when we need wisdom, we can ask God — and He gives generously. But there’s also a challenge here for us: Are we asking while fully trusting Him, or are we still keeping one foot in what God says and another in what the world says? Sis, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. We can seek God’s wisdom, trust His character, and learn to follow where He leads — even when we can’t see the entire path yet. Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s get into James 1:5–8 together. 💛 📖 Study James with the Bible Study Companion Guide https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 💌 Get encouragement + weekly love notes delivered to your inbox https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com/ 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 🤍 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📖 Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org 📖 Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org 📖 BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com 📖 My Bible — Spiritual Growth Bible (NLT) https://amzn.to/4urjU8R Some links in this description may be affiliate links, which means we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

    The Trials You Face Aren’t Wasted | James 1:1–4

    Hey Sis 💛 What if the goal isn’t simply to get out of the trial—but to let God do something in you while you’re going through it? We’re beginning our journey through the tiny but mighty Book of James with James 1:1–4, and James does not waste any time reminding us of something important: trials are not an “if.” They’re a “when.” Following Jesus doesn’t mean we’ll never walk through difficult seasons. But those seasons can become opportunities for God to strengthen our faith, build endurance, mature us, and prepare us for what He wants to do through our lives. And no, this isn’t about pretending hard things don’t hurt or trying to force ourselves into toxic positivity. It’s about learning to pause in the middle of what we’re facing and ask: “God, what are You developing in me through this?” In today’s Bible study, we’re talking about: • Why James tells us to consider trials an opportunity for joy • What James 1:1–4 teaches us about faith and endurance • Why our faith is often tested in difficult seasons • What it means to let perseverance fully develop • How God can use adversity to mature and prepare us • How we can encourage someone else walking through a trial Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s get into the Word together. 💛 🔴 Study James with the Bible Study Companion Guide: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides ⭐️ Get weekly encouragement delivered to your inbox: https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com/ 🔗 Helpful Links 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 🤍 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📖 Circle Time for the Soul Bible Study Guides https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 📖 Bible Study Fellowship — Study the Book of John https://www.bsfinternational.org 📖 Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org 📖 BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com 📖 My Bible — Spiritual Growth Bible (NLT) https://amzn.to/4urjU8R Some links in this description may be affiliate links, which means we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

    What’s Really Stopping You From Obeying God? | Acts 28:17-31 [S4 E120]

    Hey Sis 💛 What if no one is actually stopping you—but you? Sometimes, the door is open. God has already given the direction, and the next faithful step is right in front of us. But fear, overthinking, perfectionism, self-doubt, and the need for approval can keep us standing still. In Acts 28, Paul reaches Rome after experiencing rejection, imprisonment, false accusations, a shipwreck, and even a snakebite. Yet the book of Acts does not end with Paul allowing his circumstances to silence him. Sis, there are times when we will face real opposition, closed doors, or seasons when God tells us to wait. But we must also be honest enough to recognize when God has already opened the door—and we are the ones afraid to walk through it. You do not have to feel completely fearless, qualified, or ready to obey God. Keep your eyes on Jesus, listen for His direction, and take the next step.

    God Didn’t Bring You This Far to Leave You | Acts 28:1-16 [S4 E 119]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever made it through a difficult season, only for one more thing to happen that makes you wonder, “Lord, how much more can I take?” Sometimes, it isn’t the biggest trial that causes us to lose hope. It’s the unexpected last-straw moment that comes after we already feel tired, discouraged, and worn down. In Acts 28, Paul survives a violent storm and a shipwreck—only to be bitten by a snake while gathering wood for a fire. But instead of allowing one more unexpected problem to stop him, Paul shakes it off and keeps moving forward. The snake bite could not cancel what God had already promised. Today, we’re talking about remembering God’s faithfulness when problems begin piling up, trusting His promise when your circumstances feel discouraging, and refusing to let one difficult moment convince you that God has abandoned the journey. God did not bring you this far just to leave you here.
