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: Extra Shot — Cup 7: When the Church Gets Messy","slug":"grace-in-the-grind-extra-shot-cup-7-when-the-church-gets-messy","published_at":"2025-12-19T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/grace-in-the-grind-7570221/grace-in-the-grind-extra-shot-cup-7-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-pod1/2355029","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/354257/2355029/grace-in-the-grind-pod1/2025_12_18_04_07_40_c93e2ab2-3611-43c9-9fb0-54443d64c215.mp3","summary":"Church is beautiful… and sometimes it’s unbelievably messy. In this Extra Shot, Cody gets real about church hurt, conflict, awkward conversations, and the kind of relational tension we all try to avoid—even though Jesus calls us to deal with it head-on. If you’ve ever been wounded by someone in church, struggled with miscommunication, or avoided a conversation you knew you needed to have, this episode is for you. We’re digging into what Scripture actually says about reconciliation, forgiveness, unity, spiritual maturity, and how God uses relational friction to grow us. This episode covers: ✅ Why church hurt is real—and why it affects so many believers ✅ How conflict and miscommunication shape Christian community ✅ Jesus’ clear instructions on who should move first in reconciliation ✅ The difference between peacemaking and peace-keeping ✅ A biblical framework for resolving conflict with humility and honesty ✅ Practical steps for restoring broken relationships in the church ✅ Why leaving a church rarely solves the real issue ✅ How God uses uncomfortable conversations to form Christlike character ✅ A weekly challenge that invites you to take one small step toward healing With humor, honesty, and theology that doesn’t pull punches, Cody dives into the uncomfortable truth: Most of the pain in church is accidental—but the healing must be intentional. You’ll hear stories about family communication (and non-communication), why avoiding tough conversations always makes things worse, and how even the bluntest families suddenly go silent when it’s time to talk about the Christmas gift exchange budget. This episode will help you: • Navigate conflict without bitterness • Approach others with grace and truth • Stop waiting for the other person to “go first” • Grow spiritually throug…","meta_description":"Church is beautiful… and sometimes it’s unbelievably messy.
