Hey Sis 💛 Grace changes the whole story. Today we’re studying Galatians 4:1–9, where Paul reminds the Galatians that through Jesus, they are no longer slaves—but children of God and heirs to His promise. And that truth challenges a mindset we hear all the time: “They got what they deserved.” Because Sis, if our relationship with God were based solely on getting what we deserved, we’d all be in trouble. But the gospel gives us something entirely different. Grace. Mercy. Forgiveness. Adoption. Not because we earned it—but because of Jesus. So what happens when we stop keeping score of what everyone else deserves and remember what God has freely given us? Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛 🔴 Study Galatians with the Bible Study Companion Guide https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 📖 Studying Galatians with us?

Hey Sis 💛 You do not need a spiritual middleman to get to God. Today we’re studying Galatians 3:6–29, where Paul continues breaking down the difference between living by the law and being made right with God through faith. And there’s a truth tucked inside this passage that I really want us to sit with: Because of Jesus, you have access to God for yourself. Yes, there is power in asking other believers to pray with you. But Sis, someone else’s prayers aren’t somehow more important, more powerful, or more likely to reach God because of their title, ministry, or position. So if you’ve ever felt more comfortable asking someone else to pray than bringing your own heart directly to God, this one is for you. He wants to hear from you.

Hey Sis 💛 Grace can be easy to believe for everyone else—and somehow much harder to believe for ourselves. Today we’re studying Galatians 3:1–7, where Paul brings the Galatians back to a truth they already knew: They began by faith. And Sis, sometimes we need that same reminder. When we make mistakes, fall short, or feel like we should be “doing better,” it can become easy to slip into performance mode and start acting as if God’s love, help, or approval depends on how well we’re doing. But Galatians 3 points us back to faith. We don’t begin with grace and then graduate into earning our way forward. So what would it look like to stop measuring your relationship with God by your performance—and stand firmly on what Jesus has already done? Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛 🔴 Study Galatians with the Bible Study Companion Guide https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 📖 Studying Galatians with us?

Hey Sis 💛 People-pleasing has a way of making us second-guess what we already know is true. Today we’re studying Galatians 2:11–21, where Paul confronts Peter after fear of criticism begins influencing the way he lives. Peter knew the truth. But when certain people entered the room, his actions started telling a different story. And Sis, that can happen to us too. We can know who we are in Christ and still find ourselves adjusting, shrinking, performing, or changing how we move because of someone else’s opinion. But Galatians 2 brings us back to one of the most important truths of the gospel: We are made right with God through faith in Jesus, not through performance. There is freedom in no longer living for approval you were never called to earn.

Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever caught yourself looking at someone else’s life and wondering if you’re behind? Today we’re studying Galatians 2:1–10 and looking at what happens when God gives different people different assignments. Paul and Peter were both called by God, both preaching the same gospel, and both serving the same mission—but they weren’t called to reach the exact same people in the exact same way. And Sis, there’s freedom in that. Her lane does not cancel yours. Comparison can make us question what God is doing in our own lives, but Galatians 2 reminds us that we don’t have to compete with someone else’s calling in order to be faithful to our own. So what would change if you stopped looking sideways and trusted the assignment God placed in front of you? Grab your Bible, grab your journal, and let’s study together. 💛 🔴 Study Galatians with the Bible Study Companion Guide https://circletimeforthesoul.com/bibleguides 📖 Studying Galatians with us?
