Grace in the Grind: Biblical Faith for Everyday Life is a conversation built over a cup — sometimes a whole pot — of coffee. We take serious biblical truth and bring it into the places where faith actually gets lived: work, marriage, family, church, success, disappointment, suffering, calling, relationships, and all the ordinary stuff that has a way of getting complicated fast. Through honest stories, biblical teaching, real conversation, and the occasional caffeinated detour, Cody keeps coming back to that same question — not to stir up outrage, but to help us examine what we believe, how we live, and where we may have confused what is familiar with what is biblical. That means questioning assumptions. Challenging familiar patterns. Admitting when something we’ve called normal may not actually line up with Scripture. Grace in the Grind is about letting Scripture correct us, letting grace meet us where we’ve failed, and learning to follow Christ more faithfully in the middle of real life. Each twelve-episode season is a “Pot,” with each episode serving as a “Cup.” Shorter Extra Shot episodes dig deeper into the theology…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-26T00:19:15.499326+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.
