Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode begins with a reminder that God’s commands are not restrictions meant to hold us back, but loving protections that keep us safe and draw us closer to Him.

We continue our study of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 with a recap, remembering that our trials are temporary, but His eternal glory outweighs them all, and we’re called to fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen.

Finally, we close the week with Christine Caine’s You’re Not Finished Yet, focusing on the importance of running our own race with endurance and keeping our eyes on Jesus.

If you’ve ever wrestled with discouragement, distraction, or comparison, this episode will remind you to return to your “why,” rest in God’s promises, and walk forward in obedience with renewed courage and hope.

As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Love y'all! 💕

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a reminder that we were created to keep moving forward, not backward. In 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, Paul encourages us not to lose heart, even when our outward circumstances feel heavy, because God is renewing us day by day and preparing us for an eternal glory that far outweighs our present troubles.

We also dive into Christine Caine’s devotional You’re Not Finished Yet, where she shares the powerful image of Australia’s coat of arms—featuring the emu and the red kangaroo, two creatures designed only to move forward.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, weary, or tempted to look back instead of stepping into what God has next, this episode will encourage you to take heart in Jesus’ words from John 16:33: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Together we’ll reflect on what it means to endure in faith, embrace renewal, and trust that the One who began a good work in us will carry it through to completion.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a reminder that even in the middle seasons of life—the hardest parts where we’re tested, stretched, and tempted to give up—God is with us and strengthening us. We begin our study of 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, where Paul reminds us not to lose heart because our inward renewal far outweighs our outward struggles. This truth anchors us as we dive into Christine Caine’s devotional You’re Not Finished Yet with a focus on endurance for “the middle.”

Together, we’ll reflect on how the stories of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the reminder in Hebrews 10 about patient endurance, and Isaiah 40’s promise of renewed strength all point us to this truth: the middle may be the most challenging part of the journey, but it’s also where God builds in us the strength to finish well. If you’ve been feeling weary, worn, or ready to quit, this episode will encourage you to keep running your race with faith, endurance, and confidence that you don’t walk the middle alone.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a reminder that God knows exactly what we need, right when we need it. Diana shares a touching story about how the Lord spoke to her mom through a devotional that came alive in a deeply personal way—a powerful reminder that God is still our trustworthy refuge.

We also continue our study of Hebrews 10, reflecting on how faith, hope, and love can only truly flourish when we remain rooted in community. And as we move into Day 5 of Find Your People by Jennie Allen, we’ll explore how Jesus modeled friendship and belonging, and how we can live that out by intentionally leaning into the people God has placed in our lives.

If you’ve been longing for encouragement, connection, and assurance that “it’s gonna be okay,” this episode will strengthen your heart and remind you that God always provides refuge, family, and hope in Him.

Hey Sis 💛

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing the heart behind the Circle Time Collective—a Christ-centered sisterhood God placed on my heart because I realized how rare it is to find women who pray with you, encourage you, and continually point you back to Him.

If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, felt unseen in other groups, or longed for a circle of sisters to walk with God and deepen your relationship with Him, this is for you.

The Collective is a six-month community where we’ll grow together in identity, prayer, trust, and holy habits—anchoring it all in His Word.

✨ Doors close Sunday, September 28. Founding members also receive $100 off, a signed For the Soul prayer journal, and the ROOTED 40-day Scripture + Prayer guide.

Pray and ask, “Lord, is this for me?” And if His answer is yes, I’d love to see your name inside.
