Against The Grain

This Is Love

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON 3/9/2026 In this episode of Against The Grain, we continue our series on God’s love by looking at the cross as the ultimate display of love. We talk about how Jesus willingly gave Himself for sinners, how His sacrifice reveals the heart of God, and why true love is not just words or feelings, but action, sacrifice, and truth. This episode points us to the clearest picture of love the world has ever seen: Christ crucified for us.

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

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.
