What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? Discipleship is more than simply believing in Jesus or knowing Scripture—it’s a life of following Him. In this episode, we’ll look at what it means to love, learn, live, and lead as a disciple, allowing our relationship with Christ to shape the way we love others, live faithfully, serve, and participate in God’s mission.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

In this episode, we’re talking about biblical hospitality and what it really looks like in everyday life. Looking at Acts 28 and the “unusual kindness” shown to Paul, we’ll explore how hospitality is an opportunity for ministry, why it doesn’t have to be extravagant or perfect, and how the little things we do can make a bigger impact than we realize.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

After an unexpected break, I’m finally back! In this episode, I’m sharing a little life update, reflecting on God's faithfulness and provision in the in-between, and diving into Acts 28:1–10. We’ll talk about staying humble enough to gather the sticks, not allowing people's opinions to determine our obedience, and remembering that we don't obey God for the outcome—we obey simply because He asks us to.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

“Do you want to get well?” Through the stories of the man at the pool and the woman with the issue of blood, we explore the difference between wanting relief and truly wanting transformation. Sometimes healing requires honesty, surrender, and leaving behind the excuses, comfort, and identity we’ve built around our pain. Jesus didn’t just come to change our circumstances — He came to change our hearts.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

You might be searching for answers in all the wrong places—Google, opinions, or even diagnoses—before turning to God. But in Jeremiah 33:3, God invites us to call on Him first, promising to reveal things we could never find on our own. This message is a reminder that no matter how impossible things may seem, God has the final say, and nothing is beyond His power.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

Jesus never asks us to do something He hasn’t done first—He went before us in surrender, suffering, and obedience to the cross. When He calls us to deny ourselves and take up our cross, He’s inviting us into a life of laying down our own will to follow His. Though it goes against our nature and may include hardship or even shame, this is the only path that leads to true life.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

In this episode, we’re talking about spiritual authority, bold faith, and what it means to pray believing it’s already done.

Through stories like Joseph forgiving his brothers, Miriam and Aaron challenging Moses, Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, and the prodigal son’s return, we see how God calls us to extend grace, humility, and forgiveness right where it’s hardest — at home.

In this episode, we dive into the story of David’s anointing in 1 Samuel and what it teaches us about body image, self-worth, and how God sees us. While people often judge by outward appearance, God looks at the heart. Through David’s story, we’re reminded that being overlooked by others doesn’t mean being overlooked by God. Our value isn’t tied to size, looks, or status—it’s rooted in being fearfully and wonderfully made.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

In this episode, we dive into the story of Samson — a man chosen by God but undone by compromise. Temptation didn’t take him down all at once; it started small and grew stronger with every “yes.” We talk about why we keep going back to the things we know are harmful, the difference between deliverance and healing, and why you’re not called to fight temptation — but to flee from it.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of letting God fully heal the wounds we keep reopening. Whether it’s emotional pain, past offenses, or regrets, healing can’t happen if we keep picking at the scab. God wants to restore, but that takes our willingness to stop revisiting what hurt us. Let’s talk about what real healing looks like — and what it requires from us.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna

In this episode, we talk about why lukewarm faith will never lead to real transformation. God refines us through fire—not comfort—and if we stay in a place of half-hearted obedience, we miss out on the growth He’s trying to produce in us. Let this be your call to step out of neutral and into the refining process God uses to shape us.God doesn’t refine us in comfort. Refining requires heat—pressure, obedience, surrender. Lukewarm faith may feel safe, but it never gets us to the place of true transformation.Follow us on Instagram!The Garden: https://www.instagram.com/the.gardenpodcast/Taryn Balzanna: https://www.instagram.com/tarynccolvin/Ways to get in touch!My website: https://bio.site/TarynBalzanna
