Hosted by Cody Hudson, each episode offers conversational, Scripture-centered reflections on Christian theology and practical faith. Using the familiar language of coffee—cups, pours, extra shots, and pots—the show helps listeners slow down, examine what they believe, and live with greater faithfulness in the ordinary rhythms of life. Pot 1 explored recognizing God’s grace in the everyday grind. Pot 2 confronted the false promises of success, productivity, control, and the American Dream. Pot 3 — Letting Scripture Shape Our View of the Church Pot 3 asks an important question: Does what we believe about the Church actually match what the Bible says? This is not a season of deconstruction or an attempt to tear down the Church. It is a biblical study of the Church—examining how Scripture describes its nature, mission, leadership, worship, community, discipleship, and everyday life. The goal is to realign our expectations, assumptions, and understanding of…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-12T20:17:51.846611+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/grace-in-the-grind-7570221"},"episode":{"title":"Grace in the Grind | 7th Cup — When the Church Gets Messy","slug":"grace-in-the-grind-7th-cup-when-the-church-gets-messy","published_at":"2025-12-17T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/grace-in-the-grind-7570221/grace-in-the-grind-7th-cup-when-the-church-gets-messy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/grace-in-the-grind-7570221","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/grace-in-the-grind-pod1/2316601","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/354257/2316601/grace-in-the-grind-pod1/2025_12_16_07_12_33_7f0b714c-d4d5-4748-a147-bcee1665bc85.mp3","summary":"We all love the idea of church — until people are involved. Because where there are people, there’s mess. But even in that mess, grace still shows up. Episode Summary: In this honest and heartfelt episode, Cody takes a seat at the messy table of church life — where good intentions sometimes collide, and grace has to do its hardest work. Through stories from his years in ministry, he explores what happens when the body of Christ hurts, heals, and learns together. You’ll hear about the quiet faithfulness of his late friend Tim Bartlow and Porchlight Grace , the lessons learned from a blunt but steadfast mentor, and the long road of grace through years of discipleship with a young man who didn’t give up — or get given up on. Grounded in passages like Philippians 1:27 , Ephesians 4:2 , and Romans 12:18 , this episode reminds us that the Church was never meant to be flawless — it was meant to be faithful. Because even in the mess, God is still building His people, one act of grace at a time. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why even healthy churches still get messy How God uses imperfect people to show His perfect love The difference between hurt and healing in the Church Why peacemaking doesn’t mean sweeping things under the rug The beauty of staying faithful when it would be easier to walk away Key Scriptures: Philippians 1:27 — “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Ephesians 4:2 — “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” Galatians 6:2 — “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Romans 12:18 — “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children…","meta_description":"We all love the idea of church — until people are involved.
