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

Today’s episode is a heartfelt invitation to reflect on friendship, loneliness, and the deep comfort we find in Christ. We’re diving into 2 Corinthians 1:3–7 and kicking off a brand new devotional study on Friendship by Gregg Matte—beginning with Day 1: Loneliness.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder to loosen our grip on our own plans and lean into the peace that comes from trusting God’s will—moment by moment. We finish our scripture study in Luke 6:46–49 with a recap of the parable of the wise and foolish builders, highlighting the difference between simply hearing God’s Word and actually living it out. We reflect on how building our lives on Christ provides unshakable strength in every storm, and how His truth is our safest foundation.
We also dive into Day 5 of the devotional Mental Health: How Are You…For Real? with a timely conversation about emotional exhaustion and divine provision. If you’ve been feeling worn out by pressure—whether from your circumstances or your thoughts—this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and receive the rest Jesus freely offers.
And in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m also sharing a free resource for those ready to explore faith-based therapy as part of their healing journey.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that growth in our faith is a journey—and every stage matters. We’re diving into Luke 6:46–49 where Jesus paints a vivid picture of the difference between building on solid ground versus shaky soil. It’s not just about hearing His words—it’s about living them out, especially when the storms come.
We also continue our Mental Health: How are you…for real!? devotional series with Day 4: Grow, my child!, reflecting on what it means to move from spiritual infancy to maturity. Whether you feel like you’re just beginning or already rooted in your faith, this episode will help you recognize your growth and extend grace to others who are still on their way.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or unsure where you stand in your walk with God, this episode will remind you that spiritual growth takes time, grace, and a whole lot of love. Let’s stay rooted in Him—together.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that pride often disguises itself as strength—but it can quietly keep us from seeking the help we so desperately need.
We’re continuing our study in Luke 6:46–49 and moving into Day 3 of our devotional, Mental Health: How Are You…For Real?, with a powerful reflection on what it means to surrender our will to God. Jesus paints a vivid picture of a life built on the rock—one that stands firm when the storms of life hit. But that foundation isn’t just about knowing His words—it’s about living them.
We’ll also talk about how pride can lead us to strive, panic, or even blame God…when all along, He’s inviting us to simply ask for help. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been rowing through life in your own strength, this episode will encourage you to let go of the oars and let Jesus lead.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that God’s wisdom often won’t make sense by worldly standards—and that’s a good thing. We’re diving into Luke 6:46–49 to explore what it means to truly live out God’s Word, not just hear it. This passage invites us to build our lives on the solid foundation of obedience, trust, and truth—especially when life feels uncertain.
Then, in Day 2 of our devotional “Mental Health: How Are You…For Real?” we’re talking about spiritual exhaustion: how to recognize it, how Jesus meets us in it, and why your rest matters just as much as your work. If your heart feels tired or your faith rhythm has been off, this episode is your gentle reminder that Jesus invites you to lay it all down—and be filled again.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a heartfelt reminder that prayer is never a last resort—it’s our first and most powerful response. We reflect on Luke 6:46–49, where Jesus calls us to not just hear His Word, but to build our lives on it. Through today’s devotional, “Mental Health: How Are You…For Real?”, we explore the real and spiritual weight of fear, and how God meets us through it—not by removing it, but by strengthening us in the process.
If you’ve been overwhelmed by uncertainty or trying to hold it all together alone, this episode will remind you that Jesus is your solid foundation and safe haven. Let it encourage you to shift your focus from what’s frightening to the One who’s already overcome it all.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that your placement in this season isn’t random—it’s purposeful. We’re wrapping up our Scripture study from Acts 17:24–28 and closing out our devotional from God’s Purpose for Your Life by Dr. Charles Stanley. You’ll hear how Paul’s message to the Athenians echoes through time: that God created us intentionally, placed us specifically, and desires for us to seek and find Him—because He’s never far from any one of us.
If you’ve ever struggled with spiritual stagnancy or felt unsure of your purpose, today’s episode will encourage you to realign your focus, root yourself in God’s truth, and trust that how you serve now sets the tone for eternity.
This is your invitation to let go of guilt, grow in grace, and pursue the presence of God—on purpose.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that you matter deeply to God—created with intention, purpose, and love. We’re wrapping up our Scripture study of Acts 17:24–28 with a focus on verse 28, exploring what it means to live and move and have our being in Him. Diana shares personal reflections on loss, purpose, and the surprising ways God prepares us for seasons we never imagined we could endure.
We also continue our devotional from God’s Purpose for Your Life by Dr. Charles Stanley with Day 4: “You Matter.” If you’ve ever questioned whether God sees you in the crowd or felt uncertain about the meaning behind your story, this episode is a heartfelt encouragement that you are not a mistake. Every detail of your life—your gifts, personality, and even your placement in history—was divinely appointed.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a beautiful reminder that God placed you right where you are—on purpose, in this exact time, and for His glory. We’re continuing our Scripture study through Acts 17 and leaning into Day 3 of our devotional God’s Purpose for Your Life by Dr. Charles Stanley. This episode unpacks the gift of salvation, the pull of self-will, and what it means to surrender our goals, dreams, and timelines to the God who knows and sees it all.
If you’ve ever struggled to release your own plans or wondered whether your desires are aligned with God’s will, this episode will meet you right where you are. You’ll be encouraged to seek His Kingdom first and reminded that His purpose is greater, deeper, and more fulfilling than anything we could imagine on our own.
🎧 Listen in and be reminded: You are not far from Him. He chose you. He’s with you. And He’s working in ways you don’t even see yet.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a sweet reminder that God doesn’t just see you—He intentionally placed you, with purpose, in this season, in this moment. As we study Acts 17:24–28 and dive into Day 2 of God’s Purpose for Your Life by Dr. Charles Stanley, we reflect on what it means to be fully known, completely accepted, and divinely positioned.
We also dig deep into the truth that there’s a void in each of us only Jesus can fill. When we try to patch it with distraction, performance, or people-pleasing, we end up more weary than whole. But in Christ, we’re already accepted. Today’s devotional invites you to stop running from your past, release the need to prove your worth, and rest in who God created you to be.
Whether you’re craving direction or simply a soul reset, this episode will help you remember: You are His. You have purpose. You are placed with intention.
