Struggling with Doubt? What Jesus Says About Believing Without Seeing | Bible Study John 20:19-31 [S4 E63]
2026/04/01 | 26 mins.
Hey Sis 💛

What do you do when you believe in Jesus… but still struggle with doubt?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we walk through John 20 and Jesus’ encounter with Thomas, where we discover a powerful truth: even in our doubt, Jesus meets us with grace.

This devotional is for the believer who loves God but still wrestles with uncertainty, questions, or seasons of feeling distant.

✨ In This Episode:
• Why Thomas doubted and how we can relate
• What Jesus’ response reveals about His heart
• The meaning of “blessed are those who believe without seeing”
• How to recognize God moving in your everyday life
• Encouragement for when doubt tries to creep in
• A faith-building perspective shift rooted in Scripture

Sis, you are not alone in your questions… and you are not disqualified because of them. Jesus meets you right there 💛

Are You Rushing Past What God Wants to Show You? | John 20:1-18 Bible Study [S4 E62]
2026/03/31 | 30 mins.
Hey Sis 💛

When was the last time you stayed long enough to truly encounter Jesus?

In today’s Bible Study with Me through Gospel of John 20:1–18, we witness one of the most powerful and personal moments in Scripture… the resurrection of Jesus and His first appearance to Mary Magdalene.

While others ran ahead, Mary stayed.

And because she stayed… she encountered the risen Christ.

In this devotional, we explore what it means to slow down, remain in God’s presence, and not rush past the very moment where Jesus wants to meet us. Because sometimes, the breakthrough we’re longing for isn’t in doing more… it’s in staying a little longer.

Grab your Bible and your journal. Let’s study together 💛

✨ In This Episode
• A Biblical affirmation rooted in John 20:1–18
• The emotional reality of the resurrection moment
• Why Mary Magdalene’s decision to stay matters
• What the empty tomb reveals about Jesus’ power
• How Jesus meets us personally and calls us by name
• Why encounters with Jesus always carry purpose
• How your everyday story can encourage someone else
• The power of slowing down and staying in His presence

📓 Journal Prompt
When was the last time you truly stayed in God’s presence without rushing? What might God be inviting you into if you paused long enough to listen—and how can you begin sharing what He’s doing in your life, even in the everyday moments?

Don’t Keep Jesus to Yourself This Easter | John 19:28-42 Bible Study [S4 E61]
2026/03/30 | 28 mins.
Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt hesitant to share your faith in Jesus… not because you don’t believe, but because you’re unsure how it will be received?

In today’s Bible Study, we’re in John 19:28–42 as we reflect on the final moments of Jesus’ life and His burial. But tucked within this passage is something we don’t want to miss…

Two secret disciples who stepped forward.

Joseph of Arimathea.
Nicodemus.

Men who once stayed quiet… but chose courage when it mattered most.

And it leads us to a question we can’t ignore:
Are we doing the same?

As we walk through Holy Week, this episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that sharing our faith doesn’t have to be complicated—it simply starts with obedience.

Sis, someone might be waiting on your invitation 💛

Grab your Bible and your journal. Let’s study together.

✨ In This Episode
A Biblical affirmation rooted in John 19:28–42
What “secret discipleship” looks like in our lives today
Why fear keeps us silent about our faith
The power of simply planting seeds
How God works beneath the surface of obedience
A real-life story of invitation and unexpected openness
Encouragement to share your faith this Holy Week

📓 Journal Prompt
Where have I been holding back in sharing my faith, and what fear is at the root of that hesitation?
What would it look like for me to simply plant one seed this week — in a way that feels natural, loving, and obedient?

Jesus and the True Weight of Sin | John 19:17-27 Bible Study [S4 E60]
2026/03/27 | 23 mins.
Hey Sis 💛

There’s something we don’t talk about enough in our faith…

Not because it’s not important — but because it’s uncomfortable.

Sin.

In today’s Bible study, we walk through John 19:17–27 and take a closer look at Jesus’ journey to the cross. And what we see is something that shifts everything:

Sin is serious.
Serious enough to cost Jesus the excruciating death of the cross.

But this isn’t a message of shame — it’s a message of truth wrapped in love.

Because the same cross that reveals the weight of sin…
also reveals the depth of God’s grace & love.

If you’ve ever found yourself minimizing sin, struggling with conviction, or needing a reset in your walk with God — this episode will meet you right where you are.

Grab your Bible and your journal. Let’s study together 💛

✨ In This Episode

A Biblical affirmation rooted in John 19:17–27

What the cross reveals about the seriousness of sin

Why Jesus’ suffering changes how we view our choices

The difference between conviction and condemnation

How understanding the cost leads to deeper surrender

📓 Journal Prompt
Where in my life have I been minimizing or overlooking sin… and how is God gently calling me back into alignment with Him?

When You Feel Pressured to Choose What’s Easy Over What’s Right | John 19 [S4 E59]
2026/03/26 | 23 mins.
Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt that quiet pressure to stay silent… to go along with what’s easier instead of what’s right?

In this Bible Study, we walk through John 19:1–16 and the moment Pontius Pilate stands face to face with truth… and still wavers.

It’s easy to read this passage and wonder how he could miss it.
But if we’re honest, we face similar moments every day.

Moments where fear, pressure, or approval try to pull us away from standing firm in Jesus.

This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that indecision is still a decision… and that we are invited to fix our eyes on truth and not the noise around us.

Grab your Bible and your journal. Let’s study together 💛

✨ IN THIS EPISODE
✨ A Biblical affirmation rooted in John 19:1–16
✨ What Jesus endured before the cross and why it matters
✨ The danger of pressure, fear, and compromise
✨ Why Pilate’s indecision still speaks to us today
✨ The difference between truth and cultural influence
✨ How to stand firm in your faith when it’s uncomfortable

📓 JOURNAL PROMPT
Where in my life am I feeling pressure to stay silent, compromise, or choose comfort over truth… and what would it look like for me to stand firmly with Jesus in that area today?
