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 — YOUR NEXT STEPS! — *Accept Jesus Into Your Heart* — https://lp.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ Visit Our Website: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/ Join The Private Facebook Group! — www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul “Christian Women Growing in Faith” Order a “For The Soul” Prayer Journal - circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Email — hello@circletimeforthesoul.com

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that fear doesn’t get the final say—faith does. We’re diving into Isaiah 41:8–10, anchoring ourselves in God’s words of identity, strength, and presence. You’ll also hear the beautiful backstory of how speaking daily affirmations—rooted in God’s truth—transformed not just how I saw myself, but how others did too.
We’re also kicking off a brand new devotional, Do It Afraid by Joyce Meyer, with Day 1: Choose Faith Over Fear. We reflect on Peter walking on water in Matthew 14 and what it means to keep your eyes on Jesus, even when the storm is swirling. If fear has been loud lately, this episode will remind you that Jesus is louder—and always reaching out to you.
Whether you’re navigating a new season, needing a confidence boost, or longing to feel seen by God again, this one is for you. Let today be the day you stop letting fear lead and start choosing faith instead. He has called you by name—and Sis, you are never alone.
🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is an invitation to realign your thoughts with God’s truth and to recognize just how powerful your mindset can be in shaping your spiritual walk. We're diving into Isaiah 41:8–10 and 1 Corinthians 4:3–4 as we wrap up our series on cognitive distortions with both a biblical and practical lens.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your inner critic or battled thoughts that seem louder than truth, this episode will walk you through a gentle yet effective process to reframe those narratives. With a powerful journaling prompt and a nine-step thought-replacement method from The Coddling of the American Mind, we explore what it means to love God with all your mind—even when your mind feels messy.
Plus, you’ll hear a timely encouragement that while suffering in life is inevitable, surrendering the gifts of eternity for temporary comfort is optional. You don’t have to carry these thoughts alone. Come be reminded of who you are and whose you are—chosen, upheld, and never rejected by God.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is all about taking responsibility for our spiritual growth—without shame, blame, or comparison. We’re wrapping up our study of 1 Corinthians 4:2–5 with a powerful reminder that while people may judge us, it’s ultimately God who sees our hearts and motives. We also dive into Day 7 of our “Don’t Believe Everything You Think” devotional, focusing on the distortion of blaming—the tendency to shift responsibility for our struggles onto others.
Through the story of Job and a quote from Viktor Frankl, we’re reminded that we always have a choice in how we respond to what life brings our way. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like a victim of your circumstances or found it easier to point fingers instead of taking ownership, this episode will gently challenge and encourage you to “brace yourself” for the growth God wants to do in you.
We close with a journaling prompt, a prayer, and a loving invitation to join The Circle Time Collective before doors close at midnight tonight. Let’s keep growing together, Sis.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that God—not people—is the ultimate judge of our hearts and motives. We’re digging into 1 Corinthians 4:2–5 and uncovering how Paul models a confidence rooted in Christ and a humility that acknowledges God's final say. If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling misunderstood or judged by others—or even yourself—this passage reminds us to shift our focus to faithfulness over people-pleasing, and God’s timing over our own.
We’re also continuing in Day 6 of our devotional series, Don’t Believe Everything You Think, with a deep dive into Negative Filtering. This distortion can leave us stuck in defeat even when there’s goodness all around us. Whether it’s parenting, marriage, work, or your walk with God—this episode will help you notice the moments you might be overlooking, and encourage you to reframe your perspective through truth, gratitude, and grace.
If your heart has been weighed down by criticism, comparison, or constant self-doubt, this episode is for you. Let’s release the weight of judgment and lean into the freedom of living for God's approval.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a mid-week reset and a heart check wrapped in truth and grace. We’re continuing our study in 1 Corinthians 4:2 –5, reflecting on what it really means to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us—especially when the world (and sometimes even our own thoughts) wants to measure us by performance or popularity. Paul reminds us that only God can truly judge the motives of the heart.
We’re also diving into Day 4 of the devotional Don’t Believe Everything You Think by Axis, unpacking the cognitive distortion of “mind reading.” From motherhood and marriage to ministry and friendships, we explore the real consequences of making assumptions without clarity—and how this habit can quietly steal our peace and intimacy with others. If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling with “What if she thinks…” or “They probably believe…”—this one’s for you. Today’s episode is your gentle reminder to stop mind reading and start resting in truth.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that even in a world full of extremes, God calls us to a deeper, more grace-filled way of seeing. We’l begin our journey through 1 Corinthians 4:2-5, then you’ll also hear a powerful devotional reflection from Day 4 of Don’t Believe Everything You Think on “black-and-white thinking”—the tendency to view situations, people, or even ourselves as either all good or all bad. But God sees more. He sees the “glorious ruin” in us: beauty in the brokenness and value even in the mess.
If you’ve been quick to disqualify yourself, your progress, or others, this episode will help you shift your perspective and find peace in the process. Plus, don’t miss a special “Take a Chance Tuesday” challenge to encourage someone in your life today.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that your worth is not defined by a single moment. We’re diving into 1 Corinthians 4:2–5 and exploring what it means to be faithful with what God has entrusted to you—even when no one else sees it. You’ll be reminded that it’s the Lord who ultimately rewards your obedience, and that we’re called to serve with a heart set on Him, not the approval of others.
We’ll also walk through Day 3 of the “Don’t Believe Everything You Think” devotional and explore the cognitive distortion of overgeneralizing. If you’ve ever let one hard moment convince you that you're failing or not enough—this one’s for you. You’ll leave with renewed clarity, a biblical affirmation to carry through the week, and a journal prompt to help you shift your mindset toward gratitude and truth.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a gentle but needed reminder to stop letting our imaginations run wild with fear. We’re talking about catastrophizing—that spiral of assuming the worst and letting it steal our peace.
Drawing from James 4:13–14 and Matthew 6:34, we’re reminded that we truly don’t know what will happen tomorrow—or even in the next hour. So why spend today consumed by “what ifs”? Together, we’ll explore how this common thought trap doesn’t help us plan—it just weighs us down. You’ll walk away with encouragement to stop predicting doom, start anchoring your thoughts in truth, and embrace the freedom that comes from doing the next right thing with Jesus by your side.

Today’s episode is a reminder that just because we feel something doesn’t mean it’s true. We’re diving into Romans 8 to reflect on the gift of the Holy Spirit—who intercedes for us when we don’t even have the words—and the call to run our spiritual race with discipline and purpose.
Plus, we begin our new devotional Don’t Believe Everything You Think by the Axis Organization with a powerful look at emotional reasoning and how to recognize when our feelings are leading our thoughts.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of comparison, overthinking, or just spiritually off-track, this episode will encourage you to pause, reset, and speak truth over your emotions.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a midweek soul check and a much-needed reminder that your spiritual walk matters more than you know. We’re diving into 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and reflecting on how our faith journey is more than a passive stroll—it’s a purposeful race toward an eternal crown. With a nod to 1 Timothy 4:8-9, we’re reminded that while physical training has value, spiritual discipline brings life now and forever.
You’ll also hear the final day of the devotional from Gregg Matte’s Friendship, offering four powerful traits modeled by Jesus that can reshape the way we love and serve our friends. If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling spiritually “off,” or wondered how to reconnect with God without guilt or overwhelm, this episode offers both affirmation and a clear next step.
