Grace in the Grind: Extra Shot — Cup 9: Between What Was and What Will Be


Listen Later

There’s something strangely intense about New Year’s Eve. You sit down with your Bible, a fresh cup of coffee, maybe even a journal… and suddenly your phone chirps: “Here’s your entire year in 37 seconds!” Absolutely not. Some of us are barely ready to check our bank app today — we don’t need an algorithm narrating our emotional journey.

But there is something holy about this day — this doorway between what was and what will be. And that’s exactly what we’re talking about in this Ninth Cup of Grace in the Grind.

In this episode, we slow down and take an honest, grace-filled look back at the past year — the good, the hard, the unexpected, and the prayers still waiting to be answered. Through Scripture, reflection, and real-life stories, we explore how God has been working behind the scenes even when we didn’t see it in real time.

Inside this episode you’ll find: • A reflective New Year’s Eve message rooted in Isaiah 43:18–19, Psalm 138:8, and Lamentations 3:22–23 • Encouragement for the “in-between seasons” of calling, waiting, and transition • A reminder that God wastes nothing — not your quiet seasons, your stretching seasons, or your unresolved stories • Personal reflections from Cody on family change, travel, illness, unexpected blessings, and God’s quiet faithfulness • A hopeful invitation to step into the new year with trust, open hands, and renewed confidence in God’s purpose

If you’ve felt weary, uncertain, overwhelmed, grateful, or all of the above — this episode will meet you right where you are. New Year’s Eve isn’t just a countdown; it’s an opportunity to remember God’s faithfulness and look ahead with expectation, not pressure.

Perfect for listeners craving Christian encouragement, biblical reflection, end-of-year hope, and a reminder that grace is still at work in the grind.
