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 | Extra Shot 11 — Grace That Stays","slug":"grace-in-the-grind-extra-shot-11-grace-that-stays","published_at":"2026-01-16T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/grace-in-the-grind-7570221/grace-in-the-grind-extra-shot-11-grace-that-stays","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/grace-in-the-grind-7570221","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/grace-in-the-grind-pod1/2398404","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/354257/2398404/grace-in-the-grind-pod1/2025_12_18_04_54_42_b25e9791-2448-474a-bd6a-8e45041265f0.mp3","summary":"We love fresh starts. New plans. New rhythms. New spiritual momentum. But what happens when the excitement fades… and you’re left in the unglamorous middle? In this extended Extra Shot, Grace That Stays , we take a deeper (and funnier) dive into Jesus’ words in John 15 and the often-misunderstood call to abide . Not the Instagram version. Not the hype-driven version. The real, steady, everyday staying connected to Christ that actually produces fruit. Using a very underqualified houseplant as a surprisingly wise teacher, Cody unpacks what it means to keep turning toward the Light—even when growth feels slow, unseen, or nonexistent. This episode explores: Why abiding isn’t passive , but active dependence How fruit comes from connection , not performance Why pruning isn’t punishment , but preparation What God is doing in the quiet, unexciting middle of faith How sanctification grows slowly—by grace, not striving You’ll also get a practical framework for living out grace that stays : Building simple, steady rhythms instead of spiritual overload Learning to return quickly when you drift—without shame Paying attention to pruning seasons without panicking Checking your connection , not your results This Extra Shot is longer, deeper, and a little more pointed—designed to meet you right where you are: tired, faithful, unfinished, and still deeply loved. If your faith feels like it’s stuck on a loading screen… If you’re showing up but not seeing much change yet… If you’re wondering whether God is still at work in the ordinary— This episode is for you. Because abiding isn’t flashy. But it’s faithful. And God does His best work in steady. ☕ Grab your coffee. 🎧 Press play. 🌱 Keep turning toward the Light.
