Why You'll Never Please Everyone (And That's Okay) | Acts 14:8-20 Bible Study [S4 E97] 02.06.2026 18Min.Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever noticed how quickly people's opinions can change? One moment you're being praised.The next moment you're being criticized. In Acts 14:8-20, Paul experiences both extremes. After God performs a miraculous healing through him, the crowd wants to worship him. Just a few verses later, that same crowd turns against him and leaves him for dead. This powerful passage reminds us that when we build our identity on the approval of others, we'll constantly rise and fall with public opinion. But when we remember that we're ultimately serving Jesus, we can remain faithful no matter what people think. Today we're talking about what it looks like to live for an Audience of One. 📖 Scripture: Acts 14:8-20 🔗 Helpful Links 📔 Circle Time Prayer Journal:https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal 💛 Join the Circle Time Collective:https://circletimeforthesoul.com/collective ✝️ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart:https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 🙏 Support the Ministry:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Resources Blue Letter Bible:https://www.blueletterbible.org BibleRef:https://www.bibleref.com Bible Study Fellowship:https://www.bsfinternational.org 🎶 Music Buenos Dias by Matt LargeCourtesy of Epidemic Sound 📌 Note Some links may be affiliate links.

When God Asks You to Let Go | Acts 13:1-3 Bible Study [S4 E92] 19.05.2026 20Min.Hey Sis 💛 Sometimes the hardest part of following God isn’t hearing Him. It’s releasing what feels safe. In today’s Bible Study through Acts 13:1-3, we look at the moment Barnabas and Saul are commissioned and sent out by the Holy Spirit after a season of worship, prayer, fasting, and surrender. Before God moved us into the next chapter, there are things that have to be laid down first. And honestly? Many of us are praying for breakthrough while still holding tightly to the comfort, fear, relationships, habits, or security God may be asking us to release.

Before We Say ‘God, Handle Them’… Let Him Examine Our Hearts | Acts 12:20-25 [S4 E91] 18.05.2026 19Min.Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever looked at someone else’s actions and wondered, “God… how are they getting away with that?” In today’s Bible study through Acts 12:20-25, we’re talking about the story of Herod Agrippa and the deeper heart issue of pride, approval, and self glorification. But this conversation goes beyond Herod. Because before we point fingers at everyone else, scripture often invites us to pause and allow God to examine our own hearts too.

In today’s Bible study through Acts 12, we walk through one of the most powerful and human moments in scripture. The church gathered together praying faithfully for Peter while unable to believe when Peter actually shows up. And honestly? Many of us can relate more than we realize. Sometimes disappointment, grief, waiting, and unanswered prayers can wear us down so deeply that even while we’re praying, part of us quietly stops expecting God to move. Today, we’re talking about prayer, trust, discouragement, and what it means to keep believing that God is still working… even when we cannot fully see it yet. 📖 In This Bible Study:• Acts 12:1–19 study and devotional• Peter’s miraculous prison escape• Why prayer still matters• Trusting God in seasons of disappointment• How prayer changes us• Encouragement for spiritually weary seasons 🔗 Helpful Links For the Soul Prayer Journal:circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Accept Jesus Into Your Heart:peacewithgod.net/steps/ Support the Ministry:paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 ResourcesBlue Letter Bibleblueletterbible.org BibleRefbibleref.com Bible Study Fellowshipbsfinternational.org 🎶 MusicMusic by Epidemic Sound 📌 NoteSome links may be affiliate links which help support the ministry at no additional cost to you.

In today’s Bible study through Acts 11:19-30, we look at the early church in Antioch and the powerful way these believers responded with generosity, obedience, and trust, even without having all the answers.
