Circle Time for The Soul Daily Devotional | Bible Study, Bible Verses, Biblical Encouragement, Journal Prompts, Faith
Your Go-To Podcast for Christian Women Seeking Spiritual Growth, Encouragement, and a Stronger Faith Walk.
***TOP 1% PODCAST IN CHRISTIANITY***
Are you struggling to hear from God?
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 by starting your day with daily Biblical affirmations, Bible studies, devotionals, journal prompts and prayer!
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? This podcast is for you Sis! 🫂
Ephesians 3:20-21
”Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!”
May the rest of your day be the best of your day!
Love y'all! 💕
Diana Marie

Hey Sis 💛
Bible study does not have to feel complicated or far outside your reach.
After almost three years and 700+ episodes of Circle Time for the Soul, today I’m taking you behind the mic to show you what happens before I ever press record.
We’re walking through what my own quiet time looks like, how I approach Scripture, when I pull in study resources, how I think through application, and how that time eventually becomes the episode you hear.
But Sis, the goal isn’t for you to walk away thinking, “Wow, that’s a lot.”
It’s for you to realize:
“Wait…I can do this too.”
Because Circle Time was never meant to replace your own time with God. My prayer is that it becomes a companion to it as we learn, grow, and become students of His Word together.
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
You don’t have to prove yourself when Christ has already made you new.
Today we’re closing out our journey through Galatians with Galatians 6:11–18, where Paul brings everything back to what truly matters:
The new creation.
Not appearances.Not impressing people.Not proving how spiritual we are.
Jesus.
And after everything we’ve studied about freedom, grace, the flesh, and walking by the Spirit, there’s one more question worth carrying with us:
What are people experiencing when you walk into the room?
Sis, you don’t have to be the loudest person there to change the atmosphere. The grace of Jesus can show through the way you love, respond, encourage, and simply live.
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
Sometimes the hardest part of doing good is continuing when you can’t see what it’s producing yet.
Today we’re studying Galatians 6:1–10, where Paul talks about restoration, carrying one another’s burdens, staying humble, and continuing to sow toward the Spirit.
And then he gives us this reminder:
“Let us not become weary in doing good.”
Sis, waiting can make you tired.
Praying can make you tired.
Showing up again and again without seeing the harvest yet can make you wonder whether any of it is even working.
But just because you can’t see what God is producing doesn’t mean nothing is growing.
Don’t give up before the harvest.
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
The fruit of the Spirit is more than a list to memorize. It’s evidence of who is leading.
Today we’re studying Galatians 5:22–26, where Paul shows us what it can look like when we truly allow the Holy Spirit to lead our everyday lives.
Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control.
But Sis, Paul doesn’t stop there.
Because even as we begin seeing growth in our lives, there are still things like pride, comparison, jealousy, and the need to prove ourselves that can quietly creep in.
So maybe the question isn’t simply, “Do I know the fruit of the Spirit?”
Maybe it’s:
Is what I’m about to say, do, or prove actually producing fruit?
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
Not every feeling, urge, or reaction deserves the final say.
Today we’re studying Galatians 5:16–21, where Paul gets very practical about what it looks like to live by the Spirit instead of simply following whatever our flesh wants in the moment.
And Sis, this one may step on a few toes.
Because sometimes the question isn’t whether we know what’s right.
Sometimes we know exactly what’s right and still feel pulled in the opposite direction.
But Galatians reminds us that the struggle itself doesn’t mean God is finished with us.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s repentance, surrender, and learning to follow the Holy Spirit one decision at a time.
So before you respond, react, or make that next move, maybe there’s one question worth asking:
Is this my flesh speaking, or is the Holy Spirit leading me?
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
It only takes one small lie to make us question a whole lot of truth.
Today we’re studying Galatians 5:1–15, where Paul gives the Galatians a strong reminder:
Christ has set you free—so stay free.
They had been running their race well, but other voices had started creating confusion about what they needed to do in order to be right with God.
And Sis, with so many voices competing for our attention today, that reminder matters for us too.
Not every teaching, opinion, piece of advice, or thought deserves permission to shape what we believe.
So when life gets loud and something starts pulling you away from what you know to be true, where do you return?
Back to God’s Word.
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
Sometimes control looks less like being “controlling” and more like quietly deciding, “I’ll just handle this myself.”
Today we’re studying Galatians 4:21–31, where Paul takes us back to the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Isaac, and Ishmael to show the difference between human effort and trusting the promise of God.
And Sis, this one hits close to home.
Waiting can make us want to help God along. Uncertainty can make us create our own plans. And before we know it, we’re carrying something God never asked us to control.
But there is freedom in remembering:
You don’t have to force what God is still working out.
Where might God be asking you to loosen your grip and trust Him with the outcome?
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
Freedom can feel unfamiliar when bondage is what we’ve known.
Today we’re studying Galatians 4:8–20, where Paul continues pleading with the Galatians not to return to the very things Christ had already freed them from.
And Sis, sometimes that pull backward is real.
Old beliefs.Old habits.Religious expectations.The pressure to prove that we’re doing enough.
Paul keeps repeating himself because the message matters that much:
Don’t trade the freedom Jesus gave you for another form of bondage.
So if you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether you need to do more, be more, or somehow earn what God has already given through grace, this episode is for you.
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
Grace changes the whole story.
Today we’re studying Galatians 4:1–9, where Paul reminds the Galatians that through Jesus, they are no longer slaves—but children of God and heirs to His promise.
And that truth challenges a mindset we hear all the time:
“They got what they deserved.”
Because Sis, if our relationship with God were based solely on getting what we deserved, we’d all be in trouble.
But the gospel gives us something entirely different.
Grace. Mercy. Forgiveness. Adoption.
Not because we earned it—but because of Jesus.
So what happens when we stop keeping score of what everyone else deserves and remember what God has freely given us?
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛

Hey Sis 💛
You do not need a spiritual middleman to get to God.
Today we’re studying Galatians 3:6–29, where Paul continues breaking down the difference between living by the law and being made right with God through faith.
And there’s a truth tucked inside this passage that I really want us to sit with:
Because of Jesus, you have access to God for yourself.
Yes, there is power in asking other believers to pray with you. But Sis, someone else’s prayers aren’t somehow more important, more powerful, or more likely to reach God because of their title, ministry, or position.
So if you’ve ever felt more comfortable asking someone else to pray than bringing your own heart directly to God, this one is for you.
He wants to hear from you.
Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛
