Circle Time for The Soul Daily Devotional | Bible Study, Journal Prompts, Morning Prayer, Biblical Encouragement

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 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? This podcast is for your friend. 🫂

Now, no need to dress up – grab your coffee, tea, or whatever you fancy ☕️ , get comfy, and let’s kick off our shoes for a bit of soul-nourishing conversation.

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!”

You Are So Loved,

Diana Marie

Stay in Your Lane: How Letting Jesus Shine Frees You From Comparison | John 3:22–36 [S4 E11]

25 minutes ago

Hey Sis 💛
There is nothing more freeing—and sometimes more challenging—than truly staying in your lane.
In today’s devotional Bible study, we walk through John 3:22–36 and sit with the powerful humility of John the Baptist, a man who fully understood his assignment. When others questioned why Jesus was gaining more attention, John didn’t compete, compare, or panic. Instead, he responded with confidence, clarity, and surrender:
“No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven.”John 3:27 (NLT)
This episode is for the woman who feels distracted by comparison, pulled into unnecessary drama, or tempted to strive for things God hasn’t assigned in this season. Together, we explore what it means to let Jesus increase while we decrease—and how staying rooted in your God-given role brings peace, focus, and freedom.
✨ In This Episode, You’ll Find:
• A powerful Biblical affirmation rooted in John 3• Scripture study on John the Baptist exalting Jesus• Teaching on comparison, purpose, and spiritual clarity• Devotional reflection on knowing your role• A soul-searching journal prompt• Prayer and encouragement to help you stay aligned with God’s will
If you’ve been feeling unsettled, distracted, or tempted to step outside your lane—this one is for you.

✨ In this episode, you’ll find:• A Biblical affirmation rooted in John 3• Scripture study on John 3:13–21• Teaching on faith, obedience, and living in the light• Reflection on actions vs intentions• A powerful journal prompt for heart alignment• Prayer and encouragement for your walk with Jesus

When You Have Questions About God: Jesus Invites You Closer (John 3 Bible Study) [S4 E8]

6 days ago

Hey Sis 💛
What do you do when someone brings you information that doesn’t sit right — about someone else… or even about God?
In today’s devotional Bible study, we slow down in John 2:23–3:12 and meet Nicodemus — a respected religious leader who didn’t let confusion push him away from Jesus. Instead, he brought his questions straight to Him.
This episode is for the woman who:• Has questions but doesn’t want her faith to drift• Feels caught between what she’s heard and what God is doing• Is learning to trust God’s timing — not control the process
We explore the difference between surface-level belief and heart-level transformation, why Jesus isn’t threatened by your questions, and how real faith often unfolds over time — not instantly.
✨ In this episode, you’ll find:• A biblical affirmation rooted in John 2:23–3:12• Scripture study on Jesus & Nicodemus• Teaching on asking God honest questions without fear• Reflection on trusting God’s timeline• Two powerful journal prompts for heart alignment• Prayer and encouragement for your walk with Jesus
Jesus invites us to come closer — even when we don’t understand yet.

When Anger Feels Justified: What Jesus Really Meant by Flipping Tables (John 2) [S4 E7]

7 days ago

Hey Sis 💛
Have you ever heard someone say, “Well, Jesus flipped tables—so my anger is justified”?
In today’s devotional Bible study, we slow down in John 2:13–17 and look closely at what was really happening when Jesus cleared the temple. This wasn’t an emotional outburst or a loss of control—it was a holy, righteous response rooted in reverence for God’s presence.
This episode invites you into a heart check between human reaction and holy righteousness, reminding us that Scripture was never meant to excuse our flesh—but to refine our obedience.
✨ In This Episode, You’ll Find:
A biblical affirmation rooted in John 2:13–17
Scripture study on Jesus clearing the temple
Teaching on righteous anger vs emotional reaction
Reflection on surrender, self-control, and spiritual refinement
A powerful journal prompt for heart alignment
Prayer and encouragement for your walk with Jesus
As we walk closely with Christ, His presence lovingly exposes what needs refining. As David Jeremiah reminds us:
“The closer you get to Christ, the more you see the imperfections in your own life.”

The Miracle Everyone Celebrated — But Few Truly Understood | Jesus Turns Water into Wine (John 2) [S4 E6]

Monday Jan 12, 2026

Hey Sis 💛
How many signs will it take for you to truly trust Jesus?
In today’s devotional Bible study, we step into John 2:1–12, the very first sign recorded in the Gospel of John — where Jesus turns water into wine at a wedding. What looks like a simple miracle is actually a powerful invitation into deeper trust, quiet obedience, and faith before clarity.
This episode is for the woman who’s been asking God for confirmation…For the one who wants to trust Him fully but still feels unsure.For the one learning that obedience often comes before understanding.
We explore how Jesus chose a wedding — not a sermon — to first reveal His glory, who actually got to witness the miracle, and how God is still in the business of transformation today.
✨ In this episode, you’ll find:
• A Biblical affirmation rooted in John 2:1–12• Scripture study on Jesus’ first sign• Teaching on trust, obedience, and God’s perfect timing• Reflection on serving faithfully without recognition• A powerful journal prompt to help you respond in faith• Prayer and encouragement for your walk with Jesus

What Are You Seeking? Jesus’ Question That Changes Everything | John 1:35–51 Bible Study

Friday Jan 09, 2026

Hey Sis 💛
If Jesus looked at you today and asked,“What are you seeking?” — how would your heart respond?
In today’s devotional Bible study, we’re walking through John 1:35–51, where Jesus invites the first disciples to follow, stay, and see. Before they understood the full assignment, they said yes — and that simple yes changed everything.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, refocus your heart, and consider what it really looks like to follow Jesus in this season — not from pressure or performance, but from relationship.
In this episode, you’ll find:• A powerful Biblical affirmation rooted in identity• Scripture study in John 1:35–51• Devotional teaching on following Jesus without a “perfect plan”• Reflection on distraction, surrender, and spiritual priorities• Journal prompts to help you respond to Jesus’ invitation• Prayer and encouragement for the year ahead
As we step into a new year, this episode reminds us that consistency with God isn’t built on curated routines — it’s built on knowing who He is and who you are in Him.

Knowing Who You Are (and Who You’re Not): Freedom From Expectations | John 1:19–28 [Season 4 Ep 3]

Through the testimony of John the Baptist, we’re reminded that our identity is not rooted in titles, labels, or expectations, but in what God’s Word says about us.

Your Testimony Matters: How God Uses Your Story to Point Others to Jesus (John 1:6–18) [Season 4 Ep. 2]

Tuesday Jan 06, 2026

Hey Sis 💛Today we’re continuing our John study in John 1:6–18, and this passage is such a grounding reminder: we are called to be witnesses of the Light—Jesus Himself.
In this episode, we talk about testimony—not as something you have to perform or package perfectly, but as the simple, honest story of what God has done and how He has carried you. I also share a personal testimony from a season that felt uncertain, and how the Holy Spirit was present, protective, and faithful every step of the way.
If you’ve ever wondered:“Does my story really matter?” or“How do I share my faith without feeling nervous or unqualified?”—this episode is for you.
