This Is Love

Changed By Love

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON 3/9/2026 In this episode of Against The Grain, we explore how God's love should transform the way we live. We talk about how experiencing the love of God changes our priorities, shapes our relationships, and fuels our obedience to Him. God's love was never meant to be something we simply receive. It is something that changes us from the inside out. Join us as we discuss what it looks like to live a life that has truly been changed by love. 🎙️ Against The Grain is a faith-based podcast for a generation tired of shallow answers, surface-level Christianity, and lukewarm living. Hosted by Gage Lee, Jack Plunkett, JD Gibson, and Aiden Alford, this podcast aims to challenge believers to stand firmly on the authority of God’s Word, even when it contradicts cultural norms. This podcast is about honest conversations, biblical truth, and living out faith with conviction. No sugarcoating. No cultural Christianity. Just the gospel. If you are wrestling with faith, hungry for truth, or ready to grow deeper in your walk with Jesus Christ, you’re in the right place. 🎧 Listen on all platforms ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@atgpodcastms [https://www.youtube.com/@atgpodcastms] 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Ooju5BdGajpGQAKLvQfLw [https://open.spotify.com/show/1Ooju5BdGajpGQAKLvQfLw] 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/against-the-grain/id1872261569 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/against-the-grain/id1872261569] 🛒 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2c957a99-77d5-48e4-be33-5ccb8b3c5168 [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2c957a99-77d5-48e4-be33-5ccb8b3c5168] 📲 Follow Against The Grain 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atgpodcast_/ [https://www.instagram.com/atgpodcast_/] 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atgpodcast_ [https://www.tiktok.com/@atgpodcast_] 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585256374613 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585256374613] 📩 Contact 📧 Email: againstthegrain092@gmail.com [againstthegrain092@gmail.com] 📖 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” Romans 12:2

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

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.
