What do treadmills, mustard seeds, and Gideon’s shrinking army have in common? Apparently… a lot more than we’d like to admit.

In this Extra Shot of Grace in the Grind, Cody takes a deeper (and funnier) theological dive into why God consistently chooses small beginnings—and why our obsession with big moments often misses the point.

This episode blends biblical theology, everyday humor, and honest discipleship, starting with an unexpected confrontation from a judgmental basement treadmill and ending with a powerful reminder: God rejoices to see the work begin (Zechariah 4:10).

You’ll explore:

• Why God prefers mustard seeds over microwave miracles
• The Bible’s greatest hits of “This doesn’t feel like enough”
• Gideon, remnant theology, and why God keeps shrinking the numbers
• Progressive sanctification (slow growth is not failed growth)
• Why small obedience is actually spiritual warfare
• How consistency shapes character long before it shapes outcomes

From Moses and Jeremiah to a boy with a Lunchable and the early church, Scripture repeatedly shows that God does His biggest work through unimpressive starts. If your faith feels ordinary, unnoticed, or painfully slow—this episode reframes that as deeply biblical, not broken.

This Extra Shot is for:

• The believer who feels behind
• The Christian discouraged by slow progress
• The person showing up faithfully with little applause
• Anyone who needs permission to start small again

With humor, Scripture, and practical theology, this episode reminds us that God isn’t waiting for a breakthrough—He’s blessing your first step.

So grab your coffee, laugh a little, breathe deep, and remember: Hell isn’t afraid of big intentions—but it trembles at small obedience that keeps going.
