  I Wanted a Podcast With Answers - So God Told Me to Make One with Cassian Bellino

  Aug 17, 202640 minS1

  What if the reason you feel stuck in your faith is not that you need more information, but that you need a deeper relationship first? Dr. T and Cassian Bellino unpack the tension between knowledge, legalism, and real spiritual transformation, and show why honesty with God may be the breakthrough you have been avoiding. Cassian Bellino, host of Biblically Speaking, built a thriving Bible podcast after years of wrestling with doubt, discomfort, and the feeling that church answers were not enough. Her search for clarity led her from frustration and lukewarm faith to a platform that now reaches over 100,000 followers and features conversations with leading theologians, scholars, scientists, and historians.You’ll discover: why Cassian stopped waiting for the "perfect" Christian podcast and started building the one she needed how her curiosity about Scripture led her to an exegetical, context-first approach to the Bible why she believes the most powerful prayer can be, "I want to want You" how exposure, honesty, and courage become the doorway to calling why legalism and feel-good spirituality both miss the heart of faith Dr. T shares his own testimony and his conviction that spiritual growth begins with relationship, not performance. Together, they explore why so many people get stuck between pride and shame, how the enemy uses past mistakes as roadblocks, and why God's call is not reserved for a select few. Cassian also opens up about the surprising chain of events that helped launch her show, from a conversation with her sister to practical doors opening for guests, technical help, and community support. She explains how her upcoming devotional will translate scholar-backed biblical context into something accessible, practical, and deeply usable for everyday believers. This conversation is especially powerful if you know there is more for you spiritually, but you feel unworthy, underprepared, or unsure where to start. If you need a reminder that God meets honesty, rewards curiosity, and still calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose, this episode is for you.
