Faith was never meant to be a solo act. We were designed to grow — together.

Episode Summary: In this Grace in the Grind episode, Cody talks about one of the most challenging — and most beautiful — parts of following Christ: being part of His body.

Drawing from Ephesians 2:22 and 1 Corinthians 12:12, this episode explores what it really means to be “built together” — not just side by side, but joined and dependent on one another.

With honesty and warmth, Cody shares how the grind of community can stretch us, refine us, and strengthen our faith, reminding us that the Church isn’t just something we attend — it’s something we belong to.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why community isn’t optional for believers — it’s essential
• How God uses relationships to smooth our rough edges
• The beauty of staying rooted in a local body, even when it’s hard
• Why grace works best in the tension of real relationships
• How the Church reflects God’s presence when we live connected

Key Scriptures:

• Ephesians 2:22 — “And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.”
• Hebrews 10:25 — “Let us not give up meeting together… but encourage one another.”
• 1 Corinthians 12:12 — “Just as a body, though one, has many parts… so it is with Christ.”
• Acts 2:42 — “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship…”

Reflection: The Church isn’t perfect — but it’s God’s plan for His people. When we stay, serve, and show up for one another, grace goes to work — shaping something holy out of people like us.

Listen now and take a sip — because we were never meant to do faith alone.
