Scripture Adventures with Stacy Tassin

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 to identify what God is truly asking you to carry right now.

Because faithfulness isn’t doing everything—it’s doing the ri...

“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 in faithful obedience right where God has placed us.

Scripture

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 prayer, surrender, and fasting—and how these practices position us to walk in the power He provides.

This conversation builds on what we’ve...

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 who lives within us.

Take a moment to slow down, reflect, and realign your heart with the rhythm of...

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 it out, this episode will help you understand the difference between simply listening and truly responding.

Key Takeaways

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 compassion, truth, and courage in the lives of those around us.

Sometimes advocacy happens in big, visible ways. But often, it shows up in quiet moments—speaking truth, offer...

Do you ever find yourself reaching for a Bible verse as quick encouragement during a difficult moment?

While Scripture certainly comforts and encourages us, it was never meant to be reduced to inspirational quotes or motivational sayings.

In this episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy explores the difference between feel-good faith and foundation faith. Through Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7 about building a house on the rock, we’ll look at why Scripture must become more than something we occasionally quote—it must become the foundation we build our lives upon.

Stacy also shares how her ap...

When life feels uncertain, most of us instinctively reach for control — over-planning, over-thinking, and trying to manage outcomes we were never meant to carry. But what if the anxiety we feel isn’t from today’s reality… but from tomorrow’s fears pulled into the present?

In this episode, Stacy explores why we grasp for control (through psychology, sociology, and personal experience) and how Scripture gently redirects us back to trust, daily dependence, and present peace.

Through real-life stories from seasons of medical complexity, family transitions, and personal uncertainty, you’ll see how control-seeking shows up in everyd...

What does it actually mean to serve — and why does it matter so much?

In this episode of Scripture Adventures we are digging into one of the most countercultural teachings of Jesus: that greatness in the Kingdom looks nothing like the world says it does. Rooted in Mark 10:45, this conversation will challenge the way you think about serving — not as a checkbox or a volunteer slot, but as a lifestyle that flows directly from the heart of Christ.

Whether you're burned out from serving, wondering where you fit in the Body of Christ, or just hung...

In this vulnerable and powerful episode, Stacy gets real about her past and why she's no longer running from the girl she used to be. She shares how God has redeemed every step of her story—the good, the messy, and everything in between. Through the story of the woman at the well and examples like Paul, Rahab, and King David, Stacy reminds us that our past doesn't disqualify us from God's purposes.

If you've ever carried shame about your story or felt like your mistakes define you, this episode is for you. Your Creator sees all of...

Episode Description: What happens when you've prayed, believed, and stood on God's promises for years—but still haven't seen them fulfilled? In this deeply personal episode, Stacy opens up about her 21-year journey with her son Dylan and what God is teaching her through Hebrews 11:13 about a faith that can hold both belief and surrender at the same time.

This isn't another teaching on unanswered prayers. This is about living out a faith that mirrors the Old Testament saints—people who died without seeing the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises, yet never stopped believing. If you're in a se...

In this powerful episode of Scripture Adventures, we explore Isaiah 30:1 and the sobering question: Have you ever asked God to bless something you already decided to do? Drawing from Judah’s dangerous alliance with Egypt instead of seeking the Lord, this teaching examines the difference between self-initiated plans and Spirit-authored purposes. Through Hebrew word study on “ruach” (God’s breath), we discover why scale isn’t the same as Spirit and why what God doesn’t breathe on may function but won’t flourish. This episode offers three practical discernment tools to help you identify where you’ve chosen visible strength...

Have you ever felt like change is happening too fast, or God's timeline doesn't match yours? In this heart-to-heart episode, I'm getting vulnerable about watching my son graduate in less than 120 days and the struggle between guiding and gripping, between sharing wisdom and controlling outcomes.

We're diving into Sarah's story from Genesis and discovering what happens when we try to "help" God fulfill His promises our way. Through her journey of waiting for Isaac, we'll explore the difference between surrender and giving up, and why building our spiritual muscle of trust matters more than we realize.

Today we’re walking through Proverbs 2:4 and Proverbs 4:4 to see how God invites us to both seek wisdom and hold onto it with our whole hearts. I’m sharing how these verses connect to John 15, how God grabbed my attention in a big way, and why the world needs wisdom now more than ever.

Grab your coffee, let’s talk about wisdom that transforms our lives from the inside out.

We’re kicking off 2026 with a quiet, steadying walk through John 15—one of the most intimate and grounding teachings Jesus gives His disciples. In this episode, we look at what it really means to abide in Christ in a world full of noise, hurry, and distraction. Jesus’ words remind us that fruitfulness doesn’t come from striving but from staying close to Him, letting His love, His truth, and His presence reshape every part of our daily lives.

We’ll explore what Jesus says about bearing fruit, obeying His commands, loving one another, and how He prepares His follow...

In this episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy invites you to slow down during one of the busiest seasons of the year and rediscover God’s design for rest. Through the familiar story of Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4, this teaching offers a fresh look at Sabbath, restoration, and what it means to truly be filled—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

As the holiday pace accelerates and exhaustion sets in, this episode creates space to pause, reflect, and sit with Jesus at the well. You’ll be encouraged to step away from unhealthy wells and return...

In this Christmas episode, Stacy steps into Luke 2:8–21 and the moment when terrified shepherds became the first to hear heaven’s greatest announcement. Their fear didn’t disqualify them—and neither does yours.

We look at powerful “fear not” moments across Scripture to discover how God meets fear with clarity, draws close when we feel overwhelmed, and often calls us right in the middle of our inadequacy.

If God has been nudging you toward something that feels bigger than you, this episode will remind you:

You don’t have to feel ready for God to choose...

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect — and let’s be honest, the holiday season is a perfect reminder of that. In this episode, we dive into the first seven verses of Luke 2 and explore how Mary and Joseph faced circumstances completely outside their control. From crowded inns to long journeys, their world was anything but perfect — yet God’s plan unfolded beautifully.

Join me as we uncover what it looks like to make space for God in the chaos, find His peace in the middle of the mess, and trust that even when life feels like...

In this lighthearted but grounded pre-Thanksgiving pep talk, Stacy helps you prepare your heart—not just your menu—for the week ahead. With humor, Scripture, real family stories, and practical perspective shifts, this episode will help you lower the pressure, raise the gratitude, and choose peace over perfection as you gather with the people you love (and the ones who test your patience).

Many of us love Jeremiah 29:11 — but when we pull that one verse out of the chapter, we often miss the deeper message God was speaking to His people in exile.

In today’s episode, Stacy walks through the full context of Jeremiah 29, revealing the heart of God toward His people in seasons of waiting, disruption, uncertainty, and hardship. Through personal reflections and real-life stories, she shares how God meets us in the places we never would have chosen — and how He teaches us to build, plant, pray, seek, and flourish right where we are.

In this episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy shares three powerful lessons God revealed during her recent trip to the beach — lessons about pressing pause, stepping away from the to-do list, and recognizing God’s presence in the quiet.

You’ll learn:

We don’t often talk about envy — at least, not out loud. But it’s there, hiding in our comparisons, in our scrolling, in our quiet thoughts of “why not me?”

In this episode, Stacy gets honest about her own battles with envy and jealousy and the lessons God has taught her through them. With Scripture as our guide, we’ll uncover the hidden cost of envy and learn how to trade it for the peace and contentment only Christ can give.

Worship is more than the songs we sing—it’s the way we live. In this episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy explores what it means to live a life of worship that extends far beyond Sunday mornings.

Through songs like Make Room and Rest on Us, we’ll look at how Scripture calls us to daily surrender, invite the Holy Spirit to move, and reflect God’s glory through our choices, actions, and attitudes. From Genesis to Revelation, worship is the heartbeat of heaven—and our lives on earth are meant to echo that same praise.

Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about reflecting Christ to the children God has entrusted to us. In this episode of Scripture Adventures, Stacy Tassin and guest Jennifer Blalock explore what it means to parent by God’s design—not from pressure or performance, but from His peace, mercy, and faithful love. Together, they share wisdom on modeling God’s compassion, shaping hearts instead of simply managing behavior, and seeing parenting not as a crisis to survive but as a calling to embrace.

This conversation also draws from the insights of Paul David Tripp’s Age of Opportunity...

No one wins a championship alone—and no one walks the life of faith alone either.

Discover what it means to stay faithful to God and others, even when loyalty costs you something.

She didn’t create the conflict—but she met it with courage, wisdom, and grace.

We’ll discover that His presence in our pain is not distant sympathy—it’s close, personal, and full of purpose.

We often misquote 2 Corinthians 12:10 by saying, “When I am weak, He is strong.” But that’s not what the verse says—and understanding the difference could change everything.
