• 642 //  Your Greatest Gift This Season Isn't What You Think | Christmas Devotional

  Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is an invitation to stop trying not to think negative thoughts—and instead flood your mind with the truth of God’s Word. We walk through Jeremiah 29:10–14 in context, looking at how God spoke to His people in exile and what it really means that His plans for us are for good, not disaster, to give us a future and a hope.  You’ll hear a powerful biblical affirmation rooted in this passage, a reminder that God is restoring, rebuilding, and leading you—even in seasons that feel far from “promised land.”  Then we close out the God With Us Christmas devotional with a beautiful reflection on Emmanuel: God with us, and through the Holy Spirit, God within us.  If you’ve been tempted to look back at what once was, or you feel stuck in a place you didn’t choose, this episode will encourage you to live fully where God has you, trust His timing, and remember that His presence is your greatest gift in every season. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order your “For The Soul” Prayer Journal: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕 Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join the Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.

• 640 // Jesus Our Prince of Peace: Finding Rest in a World Full of Trouble [Bible Study and Devotional]

  Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode brings us to the close of our Matthew 18 study, where Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant reminds us just how deeply we’ve been forgiven — and how that forgiveness is meant to transform the way we release others. As we revisit the flow of the chapter, from questions about greatness to wandering sheep to conflict among believers, we’re invited to see the heart behind Jesus’ teaching: forgiveness is not a suggestion but a reflection of the grace we ourselves depend on. Whether you’re wrestling with old wounds, navigating complicated relationships, or simply needing a reminder that God sees your heart, this passage gently calls us back to humility, mercy, and the freedom found in forgiving from the heart. We also wrap up Day 5 of our Christmas devotional God With Us and reflect on Jesus as our Prince of Peace — the One who calms anxious thoughts, settles weary hearts, and offers a rest this world can’t imitate. Isaiah foretold Him, the Gospels reveal Him, and we still experience Him today: steady, present, and endlessly loving. If you’ve been carrying weight He never asked you to carry, this episode is an invitation to let the Father meet you with peace that surpasses understanding. May your heart feel held, guided, and deeply loved as you step into the rest only Jesus can give. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order here: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕  Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS: ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial: https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.

• 639 // Jesus Our Everlasting Father: The One Who Never Stops Caring for You  [Bible Study and Devotional]

  Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, God is gently forming perseverance within us. Through Matthew 18, we continue Jesus’ powerful teaching on forgiveness — not as a burden, but as freedom. We reflect on the parable of the unforgiving servant and the sobering truth that forgiven people are called to extend forgiveness. With Jeremiah 17:10 as our anchor, we explore how God examines the heart, shapes us through challenge, and meets us with mercy every time we turn back to Him. We also move into Day 4 of God With Us, focusing on Jesus as our Everlasting Father — the One who never changes, never abandons, and never stops giving good gifts to His children. Through Isaiah 9, Matthew 7, James 1, and the parable of the Lost Son, we’re reminded that God’s fatherly love is steady, protective, and deeply personal. If forgiveness feels hard or if your earthly experiences with “father” make intimacy with God challenging, this episode gently guides you back to the truth: in Him, you have hope, healing, and a Father who calls you His own. 📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order here: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕  Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS: ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial: https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.

• 638 // Jesus Our Mighty God: The Power Working In and Through You  [Bible Study and Devotional]

  Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode guides us through our mid-week head, heart, and soul check-in before returning to Matthew 18, where Jesus reminds us how deeply we’ve been forgiven—and how that forgiveness should shape the way we release others.  We revisit the parable of the unforgiving servant and reflect on how easy it is to forget the grace we’ve received, even though our lives are constantly being watched by those around us. Then we move into Day 3 of our God With Us Christmas devotional, focusing on Jesus as our Mighty God—promised in Isaiah, revealed in His miracles, and now alive in us through the same power that raised Him from the dead.  Through Peter, Paul, and Jesus’ words in John 14:12, we’re reminded that God not only works in us but desires to work through us in ways that impact eternity.  📓 Want a tool to anchor your quiet time this season? ➡️ Order here: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Love y’all! 💕  Diana Marie 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS: ❤️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://pages.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ 📓 Order Your "For The Soul" Journal https://www.circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 📺 Join Diana Marie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@circletimeforthesoulpodcast 🫶 Submit Your Testimonial: https://forms.gle/yXschT1PKcWT35DS8 🤝 Join Our Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul 💌 Weekly Love Note (Join Email List) https://lovenote.circletimeforthesoul.com 🎁 Support The Podcast (One-Time or Monthly) https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 If this podcast blesses you, consider giving back.
