Circle Time for The Soul Daily Devotional | Bible Study, Journal Prompts, Morning Prayer, Biblical Encouragement

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is all about standing firm in the freedom Jesus already purchased for you — even when the enemy tries to pull you back into old patterns, fears, or mindsets. We start with a gentle reminder: don’t let starting stop you. Whether it’s opening your Bible, rebuilding a habit, or coming back to God after a dry season, a small start still counts. Through our biblical affirmation and Romans 12:2, we talk about how God renews our minds and reshapes our thinking as we continue to show up with Him. Then we recap our study in Colossians 3:12–17, remembering who we are in Christ — chosen, holy, and dearly loved — and what it looks like to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, love, peace, and gratitude in our everyday lives. Finally, we close out the “Freedom in Christ” devotional by Pastor Charles Stanley with a powerful reading from Day 10: Standing Firm. With Ephesians 6:10–13 and Galatians 5:1 as our anchor, we look at the reality of spiritual warfare, the lies that threaten our freedom, and the invitation to actively guard our hearts, stand on God’s truth, and remain free in Christ. If you’ve been feeling weary, attacked, or like you’re slipping back into what God already delivered you from — this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in and let God strengthen your heart to stand firm. 📓 Want a tool to help you stay grounded in God’s Word?

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode invites you into the peace, freedom, and rest that only Jesus can give. We’re talking about the power of praise, the beauty of thanksgiving, and what it truly means to “come to Him” when we’re weary. We begin with Philippians 4:4 and the reminder that rejoicing in the Lord is more than a command—it’s a pathway into His presence. Through the story of Paul and Silas, we see how gratitude can open prison doors, shift atmospheres, and literally change the trajectory of a life. Then we continue our study of Colossians 3, exploring what it means for the word of Christ to dwell in us richly and how thankfulness is meant to flow naturally out of a heart shaped by Scripture. Finally, we dive into Matthew 11:28–30 and Pastor Charles Stanley’s devotional “Freedom in Christ,” unpacking the true meaning of Jesus’ invitation: to walk beside Him, to rest in Him, and to stop carrying burdens we were never meant to hold alone. If you’re craving spiritual rest, clarity, freedom, or a reset in your walk with God—this one is for you. 🎧 Listen in, Sis. God has something for your heart today.

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a gentle reminder of how intentionally turning our hearts toward gratitude changes what we see, how we think, and how we walk with God. We’re continuing our study through Colossians 3:12–17, reflecting on what it means to “put on love,” to let the peace of Christ act as the umpire of our hearts, and to practice thankfulness in every space God places us. This passage brings us back to the core of Jesus’ greatest commandment — loving God with our whole selves and letting that love overflow into every relationship, every response, and every moment we inhabit. We’re also walking through Day 8 of our devotional, Freedom in Christ by Pastor Charles Stanley, leaning into Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders and the invitation to build our lives on a foundation that lasts. Today’s reflection is all about the long view — choosing obedience now, embracing the daily practices that strengthen our spiritual footing, and trusting that the sacrifices we make in pursuit of Christ anchor us when the storms come. If you’ve ever wondered whether the small, quiet moments of showing up with God are really making a difference, this episode will build your faith and remind you that obedience today is preparing you for endurance and freedom tomorrow. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and let gratitude reshape the way you show up in the world this week. We’re beginning our study in Colossians 3, where Paul reminds us of who we are in Christ — chosen, holy, and deeply loved — and how that identity should overflow into compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness. As we reflect on what it means to “put on love” and allow the peace of Christ to steady our hearts, we explore how living gratefully transforms not just our attitudes, but the atmosphere around us. We’re also continuing with Day 7 of Freedom in Christ by Pastor Charles Stanley, diving into the difference between working for God’s acceptance and working from God’s acceptance. This devotional leads us into a powerful reminder that legalism steals joy, but adoption restores it — and that God lovingly chose us long before we ever reached for Him. If you’ve ever struggled with performance, approval, or trying to “earn” God’s love, this episode will help you rest in the truth that you are already fully accepted, already fully His. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that God’s Word truly transforms us from the inside out. We’re beginning our study of Colossians 3:12–17 and stepping into Day 6 of our devotional, “Freedom in Christ,” with a deeply needed reflection on the truth that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. If you’ve ever carried quiet guilt, subtle shame, or the lingering feeling that God might still be disappointed in you, this conversation will feel like a breath of spiritual fresh air. Together, we explore what it really means to put on love, walk in peace, and let the Word dwell richly within us — all while resting in a forgiveness that is complete, final, and life-changing. We also dive into Pastor Charles Stanley’s heart-piercing question: Do you believe God likes you? It’s a question that uncovers the subtle ways condemnation can cloud our view of God’s heart — even when we “know” the right answers. Today’s devotional invites us to let go of old narratives, renew our minds with truth, and embrace the freedom Jesus secured for us once and for all. If your soul has been craving relief, reassurance, or a reminder of God’s tender affection toward you, this episode will speak directly to your journey. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode begins with an invitation to sit with the fullness of God’s blessings — the parts we prayed for and the parts we never expected. As we wrap up our study of John 8, we’re reflecting on what it truly means to walk in the freedom Jesus offers, not just in theory but in our daily decisions, attitudes, and spiritual identity.  We also close out this week’s devotional, “Freedom in Christ” by Pastor Charles Stanley, with a powerful reminder that transformation begins in the mind. Sometimes the very things God answers come with responsibilities, challenges, or growth moments attached — but even in that, His faithfulness holds steady. If you’ve been navigating blessings that feel a little heavier than you anticipated, this episode will meet you with truth, comfort, and encouragement. Jesus didn’t just set you free — He invites you to walk in that freedom with confidence, clarity, and a renewed mind anchored in Him. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a vulnerable reminder that God doesn’t meet us in our perfection — He meets us in our humanity. We’re opening with a real conversation about our imperfections, insecurities, and the places where we feel the least “put together,” and we’re reflecting on how those very moments become the places where God’s presence, wisdom, and strength show up most clearly. From learning to release control to allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through us even when we feel unprepared, this episode invites you to embrace the truth that God works powerfully through imperfect vessels. We continue our study in John 8 and lean into Jesus’ words about true freedom. Then we move into Day 4 of our devotional, “Freedom in Christ” by Pastor Charles Stanley, where we’re reminded that at the cross both the penalty and the power of sin were dealt with once and for all. Christ’s resurrection didn’t simply forgive us — it broke sin’s control over us. If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns or struggled to believe that real spiritual transformation is possible for you, this episode will encourage you to stand firm in the truth of who you are in Christ: dead to sin, alive in Him, and fully free. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a grounding reminder that freedom in Christ isn’t about doing whatever we want — it’s about living as daughters who are fully known, fully loved, and fully protected by a God who calls us His own. As we continue our study of John 8, Jesus makes it clear that true freedom isn’t found in self-reliance, striving, or independence, but in remaining faithful to His teachings and allowing His truth to shape every part of our lives. We also walk through Day 3 of this week’s “Freedom in Christ” devotional by Pastor Charles Stanley, where we explore how trust, surrender, and obedience lead us into the maximum freedom God always intended for us. If you’ve ever felt trapped by old habits, overwhelmed by your own decisions, or weighed down by the false version of freedom the world offers, this episode will gently redirect you back to the truth. You belong to the family of God. You are His daughter. And the freedom Jesus purchased for you is deeper, safer, and more life-giving than anything the world promises. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a timely reminder to refocus your heart on the One who provides, sustains, and leads. We’re stepping into John 8 together, where Jesus lays out what real freedom looks like — not the kind the world offers, but the kind that transforms us from the inside out. We’ll talk about what it means to remain faithful to His teachings, why truth and freedom always walk hand in hand, and how sin subtly enslaves us even when we think we’re “living free.” We’re also continuing into Day 2 of our devotional, Freedom in Christ, from Pastor Charles Stanley. If you’ve been feeling stuck, weighed down, or like you keep circling the same habits, thoughts, or fears, this episode will bless you.

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that the Christian life isn’t just about knowing God’s Word — it’s about living it. We’re introducing our scripture study in 2 Timothy 3 and beginning Day 1 of Pastor Charles Stanley’s devotional, “Freedom in Christ,” where we confront the gap so many of us have felt between being saved and actually living free.  Together, we explore the painful but honest truth that many believers walk around pardoned but still bound — held by old habits, heavy emotions, and spiritual battles that feel impossible to break. Through Pastor Stanley’s story and Jesus’ own words in John 8, we reflect on the freedom that becomes real only when we relinquish control and allow God’s truth to reshape our lives. If you’ve ever wondered why the freedom you believe in sometimes feels out of reach, this episode will meet you right where you are — reminding you that Jesus offers not just salvation, but a transformed life, one lived in true, lasting freedom. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a gentle reminder that God is present even in the unexpected, inconvenient, and in-between moments of our days. As Diana shares a personal story about losing her phone for two days, we’re invited to slow down and notice the subtle ways God meets us when life feels out of our control. From conversations with strangers to unexpected moments of connection with loved ones, this episode encourages you to pause and ask, “Where do I see God in this?” We revisit Philippians 4 one more time this week and reflect on how joy, gentleness, prayer, and peace anchor us when life feels uncertain. We also close out our study of Pastor Charles Stanley’s “9 Truths for Living God’s Way” with Day 10, focusing on the Bible as our true sourcebook for life. In a world filled with conflicting voices, shifting values, and “itching ears” seeking what sounds good rather than what is true, this devotional brings us back to the importance of grounding our beliefs in Scripture. When our thinking is shaped by God’s Word and not culture, habit, or inherited ideas, we gain discernment, clarity, and the ability to recognize false teaching. This episode will encourage you to stay rooted in truth as you walk out your faith. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that the peace we long for is found not in our own strength, but in the presence of God. As we continue through Philippians 4 and move into Day 9 of Pastor Charles Stanley’s “9 Truths for Living God’s Way,” we’re digging into the truth that prayer is not passive. Paul’s call to pray about everything isn’t just a gentle encouragement; it’s a battle strategy for spiritual victory. When worry creeps in, when anxiety steals our joy, when the enemy attacks our minds with fear or confusion, God invites us to stand firm in His strength by putting on the full armor He’s already given us. This episode is your reminder that you are not fighting alone. Through prayer, through His Word, through the daily practice of submitting to God’s authority, you carry a power the enemy cannot withstand. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, spiritually distracted, or like the battles in front of you are too heavy, today you’ll be encouraged to return to the One who equips you for every step. Let’s lean in, suit up, and walk in the victory God has already promised. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that God’s refining process is never meant to destroy us — it’s meant to transform us. As we continue in Philippians 4:4–7 and move into Day 8 of Pastor Charles Stanley’s “9 Truths for Living God’s Way,” we’re talking about adversity and how God uses it to shape us into the likeness of His Son. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the midst of your struggles, this episode will reassure you that He’s right there — sitting as the Refiner, carefully removing what doesn’t belong, so His reflection shines through your life. We’ll also reflect on Malachi 3:3, Ecclesiastes 1:9, and Isaiah 40:8, uncovering how God’s promises endure, His will prevails, and His Word stands forever. So if life feels heavy or uncertain right now, take heart, Sis — even in the fire, you’re being formed into something beautiful. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a beautiful reminder that when we trust in the Lord, we don’t have to keep flapping our wings—we can soar.  We’re diving into Isaiah 40:31 and Philippians 4:4–7, where Scripture reminds us that those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. Using the story of an eagle who chooses the longer path to soar rather than struggle, we’re reflecting on what it means to let God renew our strength instead of striving in our own. We also move into Day 7 of Pastor Charles Stanley’s Nine Truths for Living God’s Way, focused on waiting on God’s will. This one will challenge and encourage you to release control, embrace patience, and trust that God’s timing is always for your benefit. If you’ve been feeling weary, restless, or tempted to rush ahead of God, this episode will help you pause, breathe, and remember—you’re called to soar, not strive.  🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode wraps up our study of Philippians 3:8–11 with a powerful reminder that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead lives within us. Paul’s story reminds us that nothing compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus — and that every “loss” becomes gain when it draws us closer to Him. We also look back at the week’s reflections on righteousness and faith, remembering that we’re not called to earn God’s favor but to live from the grace already given through Christ.  Plus, we close out with the final day of our devotional, Nine Truths for Living God’s Way by Pastor Charles Stanley, focusing on what it really means to trust God — even when we’ve fallen short. If you’ve ever struggled to fully rest in His faithfulness, this episode will help you remember: He never stops loving, calling, and walking with you. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a reminder that grace is not just a gift—it’s the transforming power of God at work in us every single day. As we continue our study of Philippians 3:8–11, we explore how Paul learned that righteousness isn’t earned through the law or human effort, but received through faith in Christ.  In our devotional “9 Truths for Living God’s Way” by Charles Stanley, we reflect on what it means to live in the transforming grace of God—where His kindness changes our hearts, our desires, and the direction of our lives. Through the lens of Paul’s journey, we’re reminded that God’s goal for us is growth: to become more like Jesus, not by striving, but by surrendering to His grace. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to “earn” your place in faith, this episode will encourage you to rest in the freedom of knowing that His grace is enough. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode invites us to slow down and surrender. Through Philippians 3:8–11, we’re reminded of Paul’s heart posture: that nothing compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. This powerful truth echoes our devotional, “9 Truths for Living God’s Way” by Dr. Charles Stanley, where we learn that surrender is the true starting point of faith. When we release control, God replaces our striving with peace and our self-made plans with His perfect design. It’s in yielding—letting go of what once defined us—that we discover real freedom and fulfillment in Him. If you’ve been holding tightly to things that were never meant to anchor you, this episode will help you rest in the One who already knows and loves you completely. 👋 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode reminds us that living God’s way starts with remembering whose we are and letting go of anything that tries to take His place in our hearts. As we begin our new devotional study, “9 Truths for Living God’s Way” by Dr. Charles Stanley, we’re diving into Philippians 3:8–11 and reflecting on what it means to find our identity, peace, and strength through Christ alone. We’ll also look at the story of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18, where God’s people learned how quickly worship fades when we stop celebrating His goodness. This episode is a heartfelt call to return to gratitude, to honor God daily, and to trust that He alone equips us for every good work. If you’ve been striving to live well in your own strength or searching for meaning apart from Him, today’s reminder will help you recenter your heart and rediscover the extraordinary life God has planned for you. 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!
