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. I’ve learned that to grow in faith, you need a few key ingredients: regular time in God’s Word, a community of fellow believers who’ve been around the block, and the knowledge that you’re right where you’re supposed to be. 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?

    When Other Voices Become Louder Than God | Acts 26 [S4 E117]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Whose purpose am I actually following? Sometimes, without realizing it, we begin building our lives around other people’s expectations, approval, and plans for us. In Acts 26, Paul stands before King Agrippa and shares how one encounter with Jesus completely redirected his life. Before meeting Christ, Paul was carrying out a mission given to him by religious leaders. But after meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus, he received a new purpose: to become a servant, a witness, and a messenger of the Gospel. Sis, there is a difference between receiving godly counsel and allowing someone else’s voice to become louder than God’s. People can offer wisdom, but they were never meant to become your God. Today, we’re talking about releasing the need for approval, surrendering the expectations that may be pulling us off course, and boldly walking in the purpose Jesus has given us.

    God Is Working in Rooms You Haven’t Entered Yet | Acts 25 [S4 E116]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever felt overlooked, delayed, or stuck in a season that seemed to be going nowhere? What if God is using that very season to prepare you for rooms you haven’t entered yet? In Acts 25, Paul is still facing false accusations, delays, and uncertainty. But behind the scenes, his name is being discussed before governors, leaders, and kings. What looked like opposition was creating another opportunity for the Gospel to be heard. The very circumstances meant to silence Paul continued placing him before people who needed to hear about Jesus. Sis, God’s favor does not always look like being immediately removed from the difficult situation. Sometimes, favor looks like being protected within it, sustained through it, and positioned because of it. Today, we’re talking about trusting God when we cannot see what He is doing, believing that our delays are not wasted, and remembering that God is already present in every room He is preparing us to enter.

    Are You Putting Off What God Told You to Do? | Acts 24 [S4 E115]

    Hey Sis 💛 What happens when we keep postponing obedience until it feels more convenient? When God asks us to release something, change something, or step into something new, our first response isn’t always yes. Sometimes, we tell ourselves we’ll do it later—when we have more time, when it feels easier, or when it costs us less. But what if waiting for a more convenient time is actually costing us more than we realize? In Acts 24, Felix hears Paul speak about faith in Jesus, righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment. The message affects him so deeply that he becomes afraid—but instead of responding to the conviction, he tells Paul to return when the time is more convenient. Sis, we can do the same thing. We know God is asking us to forgive, release a habit, exercise self-control, make a change, or take a step of obedience—but we continue putting it off. Today, we’re talking about the spiritual cost of convenience, the difference between hearing God and responding to Him, and why discomfort may be part of the growth God is producing in your life.

    God Is Protecting You in Ways You Cannot See | Acts 23 [S4 E114]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever looked at everything happening around you and wondered, “God, what is going on?” In Acts 23, Paul is surrounded by rejection, violence, uncertainty, and even a secret plan to take his life. Yet in the middle of it all, Jesus appears to him and says, “Be encouraged.” Paul could not see everything God was arranging behind the scenes—but God was already positioning the right people, providing protection, and guiding him toward the next part of his purpose. Sis, the same God who protected Paul is still working in your life today! There may be conversations you never hear, dangers you never see, doors God closes without explanation, and people He positions at exactly the right time. You may not understand what is happening right now, but that does not mean God is absent. Be encouraged. He is still working.

    God Will Use Every Part of Your Story | Acts 22:1-29 [S4 E113]

    Hey Sis 💛 What if the very parts of your story you’ve questioned are the exact things God plans to use? Your gifts, personality, abilities, background, and even your past experiences are not random. In Acts 22, we discover that Paul’s education, Jewish upbringing, past mistakes, testimony, and Roman citizenship all played a role in how God prepared, positioned, and protected him. And Sis, the same is true for you. Wherever God is calling you, He has already begun equipping you. Nothing is wasted when it is placed in God’s hands.

    Sis, Your Difficult Season Is Not Wasted | Acts 21:26-40 [S4 E112]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever looked at your circumstances and wondered, “God, how could You possibly use this?” In today’s Bible study, we’re reading Acts 21:26–40, where Paul is falsely accused, attacked, arrested, and completely misunderstood. Yet even in the middle of the chaos, God is still protecting Paul, creating opportunities, and moving His purpose forward. Romans 8:28 reminds us that God can work all things together for good—but that doesn’t mean everything will feel good or end like a perfectly wrapped movie. God is working out an eternal good that often reaches far beyond what we can currently see. Sis, your painful season is not necessarily a purposeless season. Living like Jesus is not only revealed in how we treat others—it is also revealed in how faithfully we endure when the journey becomes uncomfortable.

    The Enemy Loves to Distort the Truth | Acts 21:1-25 [S4 E111]

    Hey Sis 💛 Before you believe what you heard—or repeat it to someone else—have you paused to ask whether you know the full truth? In today’s Bible study, we’re reading Acts 21:1–25 as Paul continues his journey toward Jerusalem. Although believers warmly welcome him and celebrate everything God has done through his ministry, Paul soon discovers that misleading reports about him have already begun spreading. And Sis, hearsay still creates confusion today. Whether it comes through workplace gossip, social media, the news, or conversations among friends, one assumption can quickly become accepted as truth. That is why we must remain rooted in God’s Word, seek wisdom through prayer, and practice discernment before accepting or repeating what we hear. So grab your Bible and your journal, and let’s open God’s Word together. 💛 📖 Today’s Scripture: Acts 21:1–25   🔗 Helpful Links 🩷 For the Soul Prayer Journal https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 💛 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Bible Study Resources Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org Through the Bible with Pastor Paul @through-the-bible Spiritual Growth Bible NLT https://amzn.to/4urjU8R ESV Study Bible  https://amzn.to/3SlXM1U The Believer’s Authority https://amzn.to/4gkAkMf 🎵 Music “Buenos Dias” by Matt Large Epidemic Sound Some links may be affiliate links.

    That Worry You're Carrying Right Now? God Wants You to Let It Go Sis! | Acts 20:13-38 [S4 E110]

    Hey Sis 💛 What is keeping you up at night right now? Maybe it’s a situation you can’t fix, an outcome you can’t control, or a future you can’t clearly see. We often hear the phrase, “Give it to God and go to sleep.” But what does that actually look like when the thing you’re carrying is real? In today’s Bible study, we’re reading Acts 20:13–38 and looking at Paul’s emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders. Paul knew that suffering and imprisonment were waiting for him, yet he refused to become paralyzed by fear. Instead, he trusted God with what was ahead, remained faithful to his assignment, prepared the leaders around him, and continued moving forward in obedience. Sis, surrender does not mean abandoning your responsibilities. It means releasing your need to control the outcomes that were never yours to control in the first place. Give it to God—and then rest, trusting that He is still working, even while you sleep. Grab your Bible and your journal, and let’s open God’s Word together. 💛 📖 Today’s Scripture: Acts 20:13–38   🔗 Helpful Links 🩷 For the Soul Prayer Journal https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal ✨ Join the Circle Time Collective https://circletimeforthesoul.com/collective 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 💛 Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Bible Study Resources Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org Through the Bible with Pastor Paul @through-the-bible Spiritual Growth Bible NLT https://amzn.to/4urjU8R The Believer’s Authority https://amzn.to/4gkAkMf 🎵 Music “Buenos Dias” by Matt Large Epidemic Sound Some links may be affiliate links.
