479 // Releasing Worry & Living in God’s Perfect Peace [Quarter 1 Recap #2]

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 
Today’s episode is a reminder to live in the present and trust that God is already in our tomorrow. We’re diving into Exodus 3:11-12, where God reassures Moses, "I will be with you." Just like Moses, we often wonder if we’re capable of the calling placed on our lives, but God’s presence is our greatest assurance.
Alongside this, we’re wrapping up Perfect Peace: Choosing Calm Over Chaos by Maya Dawson. If you’ve been carrying the weight of tomorrow’s worries, this episode will encourage you to release control and embrace the peace that comes from living in today.
So take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let’s lean into His perfect peace together. 💛

478 // Seeing People Through God's Eyes: Biblical Wisdom for Handling Complicated Relationships [Quarter 1 Recap #3]

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 
Today, we're wrapping up our scripture study of Matthew 12:35-37, where Jesus reminds us that what's stored in our hearts eventually comes out through our words—and we'll be held accountable for them! 
Plus, we're finishing our devotional "How to Deal with Complicated People" by Ryan Leak with a powerful Day 5 study on "The Benefit of the Doubt." If you've been struggling with complicated relationships or finding yourself assuming the worst about others, this episode offers a beautiful reframing through 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. 
We explore how the stories we tell ourselves about others become filters that affect every interaction, and how God's love can transform these perspectives. 
Join us as we learn to give others the benefit of the doubt and see them through God's eyes of love! 💛

476 // Release the Prison of Offense & Praying For Your Enemies [Quarter 1 Recap #5]

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 
Today's episode reminds us that perspective changes everything—especially when we're feeling overwhelmed by life's demands. We're wrapping up our scripture study from James 3:13-18, exploring the profound difference between earthly wisdom and heavenly wisdom. Our week concludes with a powerful devotional from "Love Your Enemies" by Vance K. 
Jackson that takes us through Job's remarkable example of forgiveness and restoration. If you've been struggling with offense or feeling betrayed by those closest to you, this episode offers biblical encouragement to release others from the prison of unforgiveness. We also dive into how heavenly wisdom is revealed not just in our words but in our actions—it's pure, peaceful, considerate, merciful, and sincere. 
The conversation reminds us that when we pray for those who have wronged us (just as Job did), God can turn our captivity into blessing. 
Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛

475 // Forgiveness Like Jesus: When Psychology Meets Scripture | The Biblical Approach to Healing (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today's episode completes our powerful study on forgiveness from Matthew 18:21-35, where Jesus teaches that true forgiveness isn't about keeping count—it's about a heart posture that reflects God's unlimited grace toward us. We explore how Peter thought he was being generous by suggesting forgiving seven times, only for Jesus to respond with "seventy-seven times," completely reframing our understanding of forgiveness.
Plus, we read a bonus devotional from Dr. Kanayo Dike-Oduah's insightful "Psychology of Forgiveness: Psychology Meets Scripture." We learn practical ways to apply Christian cognitive behavioral therapy with God's truth when memories of past hurts resurface.
If you've been struggling with forgiveness—whether it's extending it to someone who's wronged you or accepting that forgiveness doesn't require you to excuse harmful behavior—this episode offers biblical wisdom alongside practical application that will transform your approach to relationships and spiritual growth.
Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛

474 // God’s View On Forgiveness And How Long We Must Keep Forgiving (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today's episode reminds us that even in our lowest moments, God calls us to practice radical forgiveness. We continue our study of Matthew 18:21-35, examining the parable of the unforgiving servant who, despite receiving incredible mercy, failed to extend the same grace to others. This powerful story illustrates how unforgiveness manifests in our lives and the serious spiritual consequences it carries.
Plus, we wrap up our devotional "Love Forgives" by Rick Warren, exploring the challenging truth that forgiveness isn't a one-time event but a continuous choice. If you've ever wondered "how long must I keep forgiving?" or struggled with recurring hurt, this episode provides biblical guidance on persevering in forgiveness. 
We also announce our first community prayer call happening next Tuesday! Join our free community at circletimeforthesoul.com to participate in this powerful time of collective prayer.

473 // Why Is God's Love Essential for Biblical Forgiveness? (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today's episode is our special Wednesday Weekly Check-In, where we pause to check in with ourselves. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or unable to see a way forward, this episode reminds you that what seems impossible to us is still possible with God.
We dive into Matthew 18:21-35, focusing specifically on verses 23-27, where Jesus shares the parable of the unforgiving servant. We examine how the enormous debt forgiven by the king—equivalent to billions in today's currency—mirrors our own spiritual debt that only Jesus could pay.
We continue with Day 3 of our new devotional from Rick Warren titled "Love Forgives," exploring what genuine forgiveness looks like in practice. If you've ever struggled with forgiveness as a chore that stays on your eternal to-do list, this episode offers a perspective shift—seeing forgiveness as a response to evil with good. 
Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛

472 // Forgiveness in Faith: What Jesus Taught About Letting Go (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today's episode is a powerful reminder that God's forgiveness isn't meant to be counted or limited—it's meant to be freely given just as we've freely received it. We're diving into Matthew 18:21-35 where Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who wrongs him. This isn't about keeping score; it's about our heart posture!
Plus, we're continuing with day two of Rick Warren's devotional "Love Forgives," where we're reminded that while forgiveness isn't fair, neither is the grace God has shown us! We examine how holding onto unforgiveness only creates bitterness that affects our spiritual and physical health, while letting go brings the peace Jesus promised in John 14:27. 
Whether you're dealing with past hurts or current struggles with forgiveness, this episode will challenge you to release resentment and embrace the freedom that comes from forgiving as Christ forgave us.
Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛

471 // What Forgiveness Is NOT: The 5 Myths of Forgiveness (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 
Today's episode is all about the transformative power of forgiveness, as we begin our study of Matthew 18:21-35 where Jesus teaches us to forgive "not seven times, but seventy-seven times." We're diving into Peter's question about forgiveness limits and Jesus' powerful parable of the unforgiving servant. 
Plus, we're starting a brand new devotional from Rick Warren titled "Love Forgives," where we'll unpack five common misconceptions about forgiveness—like the idea that forgiveness is conditional or means forgetting what happened. If you've been struggling with complicated relationships or holding onto resentment, this episode will challenge you to embrace God's model of unconditional forgiveness. 
Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛
