What does faith look like when you are standing alone?

What does it look like when doing what is right feels strange, misunderstood, or even foolish in a world that has chosen a different way?

Sometimes the boldest step of faith is simply saying yes to God, even when no one else will.

I’m your host, Shirley, and if you feel isolated in your faith, I want you to know you are not alone. In today’s episode, The Flood and the Promise, we turn to Genesis chapter 6 and reflect on the story of a man who listened when others turned away. His quiet obedience did not just shape his own life, but became the beginning of something entirely new.

What do you do when anger or jealousy begin to take root within you?

How do you confront the guilt that comes from wanting what someone else has?

Do you ever find yourself unsure of how to respond when these emotions start to take over?

I’m your host, Shirley, and if you’ve felt this way before, I want you to know you are not alone, and that God offers us a new path. In today’s episode, Will You Choose Life or Death?, we turn to Genesis chapter 4 and explore a powerful story of rivalry, regret, and God’s invitation to choose another way.

I never planned to start a podcast… until God made it clear.
In this episode, I share the dream that changed everything and the reason Scripture with Shirley was created.

This isn’t just a story; it’s a testimony of calling and obedience. I open up about the moment I realized this podcast was more than an idea… it was an assignment from God.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about your direction, questioned your purpose, wanted to understand the Bible, or wondered how to live your life according to God’s will, this episode is for you.

Thank you for being here, and welcome to Scripture with Shirley.

All of us have made decisions we wish we could undo. Moments that changed everything in ways we never expected.

Maybe it was a conversation. A choice you shouldn't have made. A step in the wrong direction.

Do you ever find yourself longing for someone who sees you as more than the sum of your past mistakes?

I’m your host, Shirley, and if you feel burdened by regret or weighed down by fear, this story is for you. In today’s episode, we turn to Genesis chapter 3, the story of the Fall and the Promise. Join me as we discover how God’s mercy and love meet us in the midst of guilt and shame, and offer hope where we least expect it.

Have you ever felt that deep, hollow ache of loneliness?

The kind that makes you wonder if anyone truly understands you without explanation. Someone who sees the real you.

Maybe you have even wondered whether lasting love was ever meant for you.

I’m your host, Shirley, and I’m so glad you’re here. Join me for today’s story from Genesis chapter 2 as we return to the very beginning. Not just the beginning of humanity, but the beginning of relationship. The beginning of union, connection, and togetherness.

Have you ever felt like you were starting from nothing?

Surrounded by uncertainty, or even an emptiness so loud it echoes in your heart?

Maybe you have stood at the edge of a new beginning, unsure of how to take the first step.

I'm your host, Shirley Vincent. Join me for today’s episode, From Nothing to Everything, as we explore the story of creation from Genesis chapter 1 and reflect on how God’s divine design continues to shape our lives today.
