About Against The Grain

Against The Grain is a faith-based podcast for a generation tired of shallow answers and lukewarm living. Hosted by four best friends, Gage Lee, Jack Plunkett, JD Gibson, and Aiden Alford, this podcast dives headfirst into real topics through the lens of Scripture, straight from God’s Word.All four hosts are college students who once lived for the world, chasing sin, comfort, and approval. But everything changed when Jesus radically transformed their lives. Choosing obedience over convenience, truth over culture, and Christ over self, they decided to go against the grain.Each episode features honest conversations, biblical teaching, and practical application rooted in Scripture and sound theology. The goal is simple but bold: to challenge a generation to step away from lukewarm faith, confront hard truths, and fully surrender to Jesus Christ. No sugarcoating. No cultural Christianity. Just the gospel.Against The Grain is for anyone wrestling with faith, tired of surface-level religion, or hungry to grow deeper in their walk with Christ. Whether discussing theology, cultural issues, personal testimony, or spiritual discipline, this podcast exists to glorify God and point listeners back to the authority of His Word.If you are ready to be challenged, encouraged, and called to something greater, this podcast is for you. The world may flow in one direction, but we are choosing a different path. We are choosing to live Against The Grain.

The World Got Love Wrong

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON 3/9/2026 In this episode of Against The Grain, we begin a new series on God’s love by comparing the world’s definition of love to what the Bible actually teaches. We talk about how culture has reduced love to feelings, affirmation, and self-fulfillment, while biblical love is rooted in truth, sacrifice, and holiness. This conversation challenges modern ideas of love and points back to God's character as the true standard.

Living Your Calling

In this episode of Against The Grain, we move from understanding purpose to actually living it out. We talk about how to pursue God’s will in your own life, how to discern what aligns with His plan, and why so many people get stuck overthinking every decision. We address the trap of over-spiritualizing things that God has already made clear, and why obedience often looks like taking action with what you already know. This episode is all about stepping forward in faith, trusting God, and actually living the calling He’s placed on your life.

What We Were Made For

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON 3/8/2026 In this episode of Against The Grain, we take a step back and answer a foundational question: what were we actually created for? Before getting into personal calling, we break down God’s purpose for humanity as a whole and what it means to live the way we were designed to live. We talk about why so many people feel lost when it comes to purpose and how that confusion starts when we miss this truth. This episode sets the foundation for the next conversation on how to find your purpose in your own life.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
