Scripture Adventures with Stacy Tassin

Does the way we treat people actually reflect the Jesus we tell them about? In this episode, we're digging into Colossians 3 and what it means to put off the old self and put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love. But we're not stopping at knowing what Scripture says. We're asking what it looks like to actually live it! We'll connect Paul's teaching to the...

Are you drifting from God without realizing it? Spiritual drift rarely begins with one big decision. More often, it begins with a small compromise, a competing voice, or a good thing that gradually takes a place in our hearts that belongs to God. In this episode, Stacy shares how a study about money led her into Ecclesiastes 5—and then into the life of Solomon. Together, we will examine what money...

What if crying out to God isn't a sign of weak faith, but evidence of how deeply we trust Him? In this episode of Scripture Adventures , we're exploring the biblical practice of lament and what God's Word teaches us about bringing our grief, fears, frustrations, and unanswered questions before Him. Through the Psalms, the example of Jesus, and Jehoshaphat's response in 2 Chronicles 20, we'll disco...

What if gossip isn't simply a problem with our words? In Ephesians 4, Paul uses the Greek word sapros to describe corrupt speech—something rotten, decayed, spoiled and unfit for use. Then, one verse later, we read: “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God.” That changes the conversation. In this episode of Scripture Adventures , we're digging into gossip, slander, the conversations we call “venting,”...

Have you ever stopped and wondered, God, is that You—or is that my anxiety talking? Maybe it’s fear. Maybe it’s what you really want. Maybe there are so many other voices speaking into your life that you’re not sure what you’re hearing anymore. In this episode of Scripture Adventures, we’re talking about what anxiety and outside influence can do to our discernment—and, more importantly, what Scrip...

Nobody gets a storm-free pass in this life — you're either in one, just walked out of one, or bracing for the next. In this episode, we're digging into a teaching that's stuck with me since 2022 and unpacking three seasons every believer cycles through: the foundation every season requires, plus the Scriptures that anchor each season and the research that backs up what God's Word already told us....

What do the relationships in your life reveal about your heart? It’s easy to read the story of Saul, Jonathan, and David and start looking for the “Sauls” and “Jonathans” around us. But what if Scripture is asking us to turn the mirror around? In this episode of Scripture Adventures, we walk through 1 Samuel and look at how fear, insecurity, faith, and trust in Yahweh shaped the relationships betw...

This episode follows Do It in Faith intentionally—because what we believe should shape how we live. So this week, we're asking a question that may sound a little provocative: Did Jesus actually tell us to go to church? Before anyone panics—yes, Scripture clearly calls followers of Jesus to gather. This isn't an argument against the local church. Instead, we're digging into what Scripture means by...

What do we do when we believe God is asking us to move—but we're afraid? In this episode, we look at how fear, uncertainty, and feelings of inadequacy show up throughout Scripture without becoming the foundation for obedience. We'll walk through several biblical accounts and ultimately land in Hebrews 11, where Scripture repeatedly describes God's people moving by faith. Scriptures referenced: Exo...

Conflict is unavoidable—but the way we respond to it matters. In Matthew 18:15–17, Jesus doesn't leave us guessing about what to do when a brother or sister sins against us. He tells us to go—directly, privately, honestly, and with restoration as the goal. In this episode, we're talking about: The difference between an actual offense and a personal preference Why Jesus tells us to go How to speak...

Why do we expect instant transformation when God often works through daily faithfulness? In this episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy explores what Scripture teaches about spiritual transformation through Galatians 6:9, Philippians 1:6, Romans 12:2, and lessons from the book of Ruth. Discover how God uses ordinary, faithful obedience to shape our lives and why rebuilding always happens slower th...

Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands in Scripture—especially when the wounds run deep. In this episode of Scripture Adventures, we explore what biblical forgiveness really is (and what it isn't), why Jesus described unforgiveness as a debt, and how carrying unresolved hurt can quietly shape our hearts, our words, and our relationship with God. Together we'll look at the difference between fo...

Why does God care so much about the way we communicate? In the first full teaching episode of Season 5, we're asking one simple question: How does God's Word change the way I communicate when the world teaches me to argue, defend, and divide? Together we'll dig into Matthew 12, James 1, and Ephesians 4, discovering that biblical communication isn't just about choosing better words—it's about allow...

We've all stood at a fork in the road and just... not chosen. Called it discernment. Called it patience. In this episode, Stacy opens Season 5 with a fresh look at the book of Ruth — not through the lens several teachers use, but through Ruth's actual character: her bravery, her loyalty, her hard work, and her compassion. In this episode: Stacy's three-question method for studying Scripture — what...

When God starts calling you to move — deeper into His Word, into prayer, into ministry, into something He's placed on your heart — it gets harder to run after Him while you're attached to someone who isn't running in the same direction. In this episode, Stacy unpacks the difference between a cuff and a chain: one limits you, the other actively pulls you backward — and it always wins not because it...

A recent Substack article I wrote sparked an incredible conversation around stress, trauma, healing, and the pace at which many of us are living. The response made it clear that this is a topic worth exploring more deeply. In this episode of Scripture Adventures, we examine what happens when life keeps us moving so fast that we never stop long enough to assess how we're doing physically, mentally,...

What would be at risk in your life if you were not fully awake? And who would the enemy target if you were tranquilized? In this episode, Stacy shares a powerful truth from Lisa Bevere's, Lioness Arising , Bible study — and brings it straight to Scripture and her own life. Because the enemy's strategy isn't always loud. Sometimes he just keeps you absorbed, exhausted, and distracted until you're c...

Friend, how is your outlook? Not where you think it should be — but where is it right now? In this episode we are digging into one of the most life-altering mental and spiritual health topics I know: outlook. The lens you look through shapes everything you see — your circumstances, your pain, your future. And the good news is, God did not leave us without a game plan. We're talking about what brai...

What does it really mean to exalt the Lord? In this episode, Stacy shares a powerful teaching that moves beyond worship as a moment and into worship as a lifestyle. Through Scripture and reflection, she unpacks how exalting the Lord is not about what we say—but how we live. Because of Jesus, the altar is no longer a place we go—it’s who we are. Your heart becomes the altar . Your life becomes the...

You can’t do 1,000 things to the glory of God—but you can do what He’s actually called you to in this season. In this episode, Stacy shares a powerful takeaway from a conversation between Sadie Robertson Huff and Priscilla Shirer that will challenge the way you think about your time, your priorities, and your yes. We talk about the courage it takes to say no, the importance of discernment, and how...

“For such a time as this” is a verse many of us love—but what does it actually look like to live it out? In this episode, we walk through Esther 4 and explore what it means to be called by God, to move beyond comfort, and to respond in obedience even when it feels costly. Through Esther’s story, we’re reminded that our lives are not random—we have been positioned with purpose and invited to walk i...

In this episode, we walk through Mark 9 and the words of Jesus that reveal where true power is found. When the disciples were unable to cast out the spirit, Jesus pointed them to something deeper—prayer and fasting. Not as a formula, but as a way of remaining connected to the source of power: God Himself. Together, we explore what it means to live in ongoing connection with Him—through intentional...

In this episode, Stacy reflects on a devotional she wrote years ago and connects it with what she’s learned about joy since then. Together, we explore how joy is not just something we feel—but a rhythm we live from when Christ is at the center. When life is just… life—full, busy, and demanding—it’s easy to drift out of step. But true joy isn’t based on what’s happening around us. It’s rooted in wh...

What does it really mean to hear God? In this episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy explores the Hebrew word Shema —a word that goes beyond listening and calls us into obedience. Rooted in Deuteronomy 6 and echoed by Jesus in the New Testament, Shema reveals that true hearing is not just informational—it’s transformational. If you’ve ever felt like you’re hearing God’s Word but struggling to live...

In today’s episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy explores the biblical foundation of advocacy and how standing in the gap for others reflects the very heart of God. Through Scripture and personal reflection, we see that advocacy isn’t just a personality trait—it’s woven throughout God’s Word and modeled perfectly in the life of Jesus. As followers of Christ, we are invited to reflect His compassi...
