    Are You Putting Off What God Told You to Do? | Acts 24 [S4 E115]

    2026/06/26 | 19 mins.
    Hey Sis 💛

    What happens when we keep postponing obedience until it feels more convenient?

    When God asks us to release something, change something, or step into something new, our first response isn’t always yes.

    Sometimes, we tell ourselves we’ll do it later—when we have more time, when it feels easier, or when it costs us less.

    But what if waiting for a more convenient time is actually costing us more than we realize?

    In Acts 24, Felix hears Paul speak about faith in Jesus, righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment. The message affects him so deeply that he becomes afraid—but instead of responding to the conviction, he tells Paul to return when the time is more convenient.

    Sis, we can do the same thing.

    We know God is asking us to forgive, release a habit, exercise self-control, make a change, or take a step of obedience—but we continue putting it off.

    Today, we’re talking about the spiritual cost of convenience, the difference between hearing God and responding to Him, and why discomfort may be part of the growth God is producing in your life.

    God Is Protecting You in Ways You Cannot See | Acts 23 [S4 E114]

    2026/06/25 | 22 mins.
    Hey Sis 💛

    Have you ever looked at everything happening around you and wondered, “God, what is going on?”

    In Acts 23, Paul is surrounded by rejection, violence, uncertainty, and even a secret plan to take his life. Yet in the middle of it all, Jesus appears to him and says, “Be encouraged.”

    Paul could not see everything God was arranging behind the scenes—but God was already positioning the right people, providing protection, and guiding him toward the next part of his purpose.

    Sis, the same God who protected Paul is still working in your life today!

    There may be conversations you never hear, dangers you never see, doors God closes without explanation, and people He positions at exactly the right time.

    You may not understand what is happening right now, but that does not mean God is absent.

    Be encouraged. He is still working.

    God Will Use Every Part of Your Story | Acts 22:1-29 [S4 E113]

    2026/06/24 | 20 mins.
    Hey Sis 💛

    What if the very parts of your story you’ve questioned are the exact things God plans to use?

    Your gifts, personality, abilities, background, and even your past experiences are not random. In Acts 22, we discover that Paul’s education, Jewish upbringing, past mistakes, testimony, and Roman citizenship all played a role in how God prepared, positioned, and protected him.

    And Sis, the same is true for you.

    Wherever God is calling you, He has already begun equipping you. Nothing is wasted when it is placed in God’s hands.

    Sis, Your Difficult Season Is Not Wasted | Acts 21:26-40 [S4 E112]

    2026/06/23 | 21 mins.
    Hey Sis 💛

    Have you ever looked at your circumstances and wondered, “God, how could You possibly use this?”

    In today’s Bible study, we’re reading Acts 21:26–40, where Paul is falsely accused, attacked, arrested, and completely misunderstood. Yet even in the middle of the chaos, God is still protecting Paul, creating opportunities, and moving His purpose forward.

    Romans 8:28 reminds us that God can work all things together for good—but that doesn’t mean everything will feel good or end like a perfectly wrapped movie. God is working out an eternal good that often reaches far beyond what we can currently see.

    Sis, your painful season is not necessarily a purposeless season. Living like Jesus is not only revealed in how we treat others—it is also revealed in how faithfully we endure when the journey becomes uncomfortable.

    Grab your Bible and your journal—let’s open God’s Word together.

    The Enemy Loves to Distort the Truth | Acts 21:1-25 [S4 E111]

    2026/06/22 | 24 mins.
    Hey Sis 💛

    Before you believe what you heard—or repeat it to someone else—have you paused to ask whether you know the full truth?

    In today’s Bible study, we’re reading Acts 21:1–25 as Paul continues his journey toward Jerusalem. Although believers warmly welcome him and celebrate everything God has done through his ministry, Paul soon discovers that misleading reports about him have already begun spreading.

    And Sis, hearsay still creates confusion today.

    Whether it comes through workplace gossip, social media, the news, or conversations among friends, one assumption can quickly become accepted as truth.

    That is why we must remain rooted in God’s Word, seek wisdom through prayer, and practice discernment before accepting or repeating what we hear.

    So grab your Bible and your journal, and let’s open God’s Word together. 💛
