Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today, we’re diving into 2 Peter 1:5-8 and wrapping up our study on growing in faith, followed by Day 5 of our devotional, “New Year, New Mercies” by Paul Tripp. We’re talking about spiritual maturity and how we actively grow in Christ. Because let’s be real—none of this happens by accident!

Inside this episode: ✨ What it really means to grow in faith and maturity ✨ The danger of being spiritually stagnant 😳 ✨ A powerful reminder that your acceptance with God isn’t based on your efforts—it’s based on Christ!

📖 Scripture: 2 Peter 1:5-8 (ESV & Amplified)

Sis, always pray first & remember: You don’t go in your own strength. Amen? Amen!

May the rest of your day be the best of your day! 💜

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Happy New Year (again)! Welcome to the first episode back for 2025! If January felt like a trial month, we’re officially diving into the new year now, and I’m so glad you’re here to join me. Whether you’re a new listener or one of the OG’s, you’re part of something special here.

Today’s episode is about embracing the new mercies God has for us in 2025. We’re diving into 2 Peter 1:5-8 and getting real about how to start the year by focusing on God’s purpose and His plan for our lives.

📖 Biblical Affirmation "I am growing daily in Christ. I walk in the fullness of God's purpose, bearing fruit for His glory."

Episode Highlights 1️⃣ Living for His Glory – Paul Tripp reminds us that life is not about us; it’s about God’s plan. We are created to live for His glory. 2️⃣ God’s Plan Over Our Own – Shifting our focus from our plans to His can be challenging, but it’s what we’re called to do. 3️⃣ Small Acts, Big Impact – Every part of our day, no matter how mundane, can bring glory to God. 4️⃣ Trusting in His Perfect Timing – As we step into this new year, let’s trust that God’s plan is always good, even when we can’t see it yet.

Moving Forward As we walk through this year, my prayer is that we’ll continue to grow in faith, trusting God’s perfect plan and timing.

Thank you for being here, and I can’t wait to dive deeper into this year with you all. 💖

May the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Love y’all ❤️

Hey Sis! 🎙️

✨ A Tribute in Memory of My Dad ✨

Happy Monday and welcome to a special episode as we step into 2025 together. Today’s episode is different, as my life is deeply different right now.

This episode is my tribute to the man who profoundly shaped my faith. In honor of him, today I’m sharing 8 lessons about faith and life that I’ve learned through my Dad’s walk with the Lord, in hopes they inspire you to live and reflect Christ daily.

📖 Biblical Affirmation "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." – Psalm 118:24

🌟 Lessons from My Dad's Faith Walk: 1️⃣ Do your best – Colossians 3:23 2️⃣ Be kind – Jeremiah 31:3 3️⃣ Don’t complain about others – James 5:9 4️⃣ Express gratitude often – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 5️⃣ Model your faith for your children – Proverbs 22:6 6️⃣ Allow God to be your default in hard times 7️⃣ Share the Lord with everyone – in words and actions 8️⃣ Trust God at all times – His heart is always good

💌 Invitation to Follow Jesus If you’re ready to commit or recommit your life to Christ, join me in prayer today. Heaven is celebrating YOU!

I’m taking a pause from daily episodes to grieve this significant loss and nurture my soul. I plan to return in February, trusting God’s perfect timing. In the meantime:

• Join our free community for weekly devotionals inspired by Our Daily Bread 💕
• Explore resources to grow in your faith on circletimeforthesoul.com

Let’s trust God together in this season. 🎧 See you soon, Sis. You are loved! 💜

May the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Love y’all ❤️
