When Conflict Comes: A Biblical Response to Disagreement
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 truth without attacking someone's character When “processing” can cross the line into gossip Why the goal is gaining the person, not winning the argument What to do when you've pursued peace and the other person won't listen How forgiveness and reconciliation shape the heart of Matthew 18 Anchor Scripture: Matthew 18:15–17 Supporting Scriptures: James 1:19–20; Proverbs 15:1; Ephesians 4:15; Romans 12:18 Today's Treasure: Biblical peace begins when we stop managing conflict our way and start addressing it Jesus’ way. Treasure Challenge: Think about one conflict you've been avoiding—or discussing with everyone except the person involved. Ask God: Is there a faithful next step I need to take? Is there someone I need to go to?
Rebuilding Happens Slower Than Breaking: How God Changes Us One Faithful Step at a Time
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 than breaking. Scriptures Discussed Galatians 6:9 Philippians 1:6 Romans 12:2 Ruth 2 Mark 14:38 Walk It Out What finish line have you become so focused on that you've stopped celebrating today's obedience? Where have you expected instant transformation instead of faithful progress? What is one small act of obedience God is inviting you to take today?

Forgiveness – What's Holding My Heart Hostage?
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 forgiveness and trust, why healthy boundaries are biblical, and how the Gospel gives us the freedom to release what we've been carrying. Today's Hidden Treasure: Because Christ released my greatest debt, I can choose to release the debts others owe me. Key Scriptures Matthew 18:21–35 Matthew 6:14–15 Colossians 1:13–14 Colossians 3:13 Romans 8:1 Proverbs 4:23 Ephesians 4:31–32 1 John 1:9 Free Bible studies, podcast resources, and more are available at StacyTassinMinistries.org. A quick audio note: You may notice my volume fades slightly in a few places during this episode. I'm aware of the issue and am working to identify the root cause with my recording equipment. For now, you may just need to turn me up a bit in those sections. Thanks for your patience while I get it sorted out!
Why God Cares About the Way We Communicate
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 allowing Christ to transform our hearts. This episode is a little longer than usual because we're taking time to slow down and study three foundational passages of Scripture. My prayer is that you'll walk away encouraged to let God's Word shape not only what you say, but the heart from which your words flow. Scripture Studied Matthew 12:33–37 James 1:19–20 Ephesians 4:17–32 Walk It Out This Week What do my words reveal about the condition of my heart? Am I listening to understand, or listening only long enough to respond? Will my words leave this person carrying grace or carrying wounds? You'll find additional Bible studies, podcast episodes, blog articles, speaking resources, and more at StacyTassinMinistries.org. Grace note: During the James 1 discussion, I accidentally said "quick to hear and quick to speak." James actually writes, "quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger." Sometimes my excitement gets ahead of my words! Thanks for extending grace as we continue learning and growing together.
Ruth: The Choice We Keep Avoiding
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 it meant then, how it connects to the rest of the Bible, and what it means for us now The choice Ruth made, and the roadblocks we build in our own lives to avoid making ours What it means to walk in faith as a daily posture, not a one-time feeling A brief look at the kinsman-redeemer, and what it points to in Christ Scripture referenced: Ruth 1–4, Proverbs 2:4, Proverbs 31 Connect with Stacy: Want to go deeper than this episode?

When God Calls You To Run: Not Everyone Was Built to Run With You
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's stronger than you, but because it's easier to stop than to keep fighting to outrun it. This isn't about cutting people out of your life. It's about knowing the role each person plays in your life and in this season — and refusing to let their opinions, fears, or doubts become the reason you slow down when God said go. In this episode, you'll explore: The Old Testament roots of being "unequally yoked" (Deuteronomy 22:10) and how it shapes what Paul means in 2 Corinthians 6:14 The real difference between being patient with someone and being yoked to them Why you are not the Shepherd — and what that means for your relationships How to recognize when the chain holding you back is made of your own doubt This episode was inspired by a teaching moment from Pastor Tyler Sterban of Different Church (@differentchurchonline). All credit to Pastor Tyler for the cuff vs. chain illustration — everything built from there is Stacy's own application to our walk with God.
The Healing We Keep Postponing: Why God Never Intended Us to Live in Survival Mode
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, emotionally, and spiritually. Together, we'll look at what Scripture says about rest, why God established rhythms of Sabbath from the very beginning, and how His invitation to "come to Me" offers something far greater than simply pushing through another difficult season. If you've ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation is for you.

Dangerously Awake
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 conscious but incapacitated. Stacy unpacks what it looks like when the Body of Christ goes spiritually numb — and what becomes possible when we wake up. She gets personal about how this truth transformed her marriage, killed the comparison trap, and strengthened her family's ability to walk out what God has called them to together. The fence is gone. It's time to leap. Scripture references 1 Corinthians 12 Romans 13:11–14 Luke 4:18–19 Hosea 13:7–8 Resources mentioned Lioness Arising Bible Study — Lisa Bevere Lioness Arising Session Two video Reflection questions What in my life has absorbed me? Where have I become spiritually numb? What is at risk if I am not fully awake? Am I competing with the people God called me to walk alongside — or am I helping carry the goodness back?
The Lens You Look Through Changes Everything You See
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 brain science and Scripture agree on, why perspective is a spiritual practice, and how to practically shift your outlook starting today. We also take a real, honest moment for anyone whose struggle goes deeper than a bad habit — because sometimes a negative outlook is a symptom, and that is not a faith failure. This one is close to my heart, and I think it'll be close to yours too. Grab your Bible and something to write with.

What Is the Aroma of Your Life?
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 offering. Your worship becomes the sacrifice. So if your life is the incense rising before the Lord… what is it carrying? This episode invites you to examine the posture of your heart, your obedience, and your daily walk with Christ—and challenges you to live a life that is a sweet and pleasing aroma to Him. Key Scriptures Psalm 34:3 Hebrews 10:10 Romans 12:2 Episode Highlights Key Points Exalting the Lord means lifting Him up in honor, praise, and reverence Worship is not just what we sing—it’s how we live Because of Jesus, the altar is no longer a physical place—it’s a heart posture Your life is the offering, and your obedience is part of the sacrifice Transformation happens through daily surrender, renewal, and obedience A Spirit-led life requires listening and responding—even when you don’t have the full plan Reflection Questions What is the aroma of your life right now? Is it marked by surrender or control? By obedience or hesitation? By trust or fear? Where might the Holy Spirit be prompting you right now… maybe a place you’ve been hesitant to follow? What would it look like to trust Him—not just with the outcome—but with the process? Are you willing to be led… even when you don’t have the full plan?
