Uncomfortable Grace
Through Uncomfortable Grace, I create space for honest, Spirit-led conversations that challenge the Church to return to truth, unity, and holiness. Each episode confronts the hard stuff... sin, division, lukewarm faith and invites listeners into deeper surrender, practical discipleship, and a revived relationship with Jesus. This isn’t about surface-level inspiration... it’s about transformation.

When Theology Gets Political: A Hard Look at Christian Zionism
When a flag gets stitched to faith, it can start to feel untouchable. I’m pushing back on that instinct by asking a blunt question: when did Christians start believing that a nation can do anything or can do no wrong? That question shows up fas...
War Is Not Normal
War gets treated like weather: expected, planned for, explained away as “just how it is.” But what if that assumption is the real problem? We sit with a question most of us avoid asking out loud: why do we assume violence is normal, even when w...
What If Your Need To Be Right Is Killing Peace
We don’t actually want peace, we want to win. That single confession exposes so much of what’s broken in our relationships, our churches, and our online lives. We sing about the Prince of Peace and then walk right back into division, calling co...
Is Death Too Far
Death can feel like the simplest answer when evil is undeniable, but simple answers can hide unexamined assumptions. We sit with a question that refuses to stay theoretical: is the death penalty ever faithful for Christians, or is it a form of ...
When the Church Makes Peace With Death: Abortion, the Death Penalty, and the Gospel We Keep Avoiding
When compassion gets confused with killing and dignity is used to dress up death, it’s time to slow down and ask what God has actually said. We trace a straight line from Genesis to the Gospels to show why human life is sacred, how the image of...
Guarding Scripture In A Heated Debate About Immigration
What happens when politics borrows the language of the pulpit? We open the door on a hard conversation: immigration, slogans that sound compassionate, and the subtle ways the church can trade theological depth for quick applause. Our aim isn’t ...
When “More Loving” Becomes Less True
A single line from Matthew 7 can steady or shatter the soul of a preacher, and it’s the line that drives this conversation: not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven. We wrestle with how a “more gracious” gospel can so...
Four-Way Faith
We trace the fracture back to authority and ask whether the church wants holiness or relevance. We walk through Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience, and argue that grace must transform desire for discipleship to remain real.• d...
Why ‘Gay Christian’ Should Never Have Existed
Let’s talk about who gets to name you. We step into a charged topic—sexuality, identity, and Christian discipleship—with a slow pace, a gentle tone, and uncompromising clarity. No culture-war posturing, no cheap shots, just an honest wrestle wi...
Living The Gospel Through The Liturgical Year
What if the most sacred work God does in you happens on the days that feel slow, repetitive, and utterly ordinary? We walk through the liturgical year—Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and the long green stretch of Ordinary ...
Living Stones, Real Momentum
What if your faith isn’t weak—just unplaced? We explore 1 Peter 2’s image of “living stones” and trace how the book of Acts turns that picture into action: people gathered, prayed, obeyed, and the Spirit generated momentum no program could fake...
Holiness That Burns Bright
What if the missing power in your faith isn’t more hype but a deeper surrender? Cody opens up about being pulled into repentance and makes a bold case for holiness as the beating heart of the Christian life. Not perfectionism, not legalism—holi...
America: Kumbaya Won't Cut It (Part 3)
What if the crisis in the church isn’t politics at all, but idolatry disguised as relevance and “balance”? We take off the mask of false peace and press into why comfort-based Christianity keeps pews full while altars stay empty. This is a stra...
America: Kumbaya Won’t Cut It (Part 2)
Safe Christianity feels polite, but it quietly hollows out the church. We go straight at the myth of the “mushy middle,” naming why neutrality isn’t holiness, why fence‑sitting masquerades as compassion, and how America’s culture wars have disc...
America: Kumbaya Won’t Cut It (And Other Hot Takes)
The cultural divide may be loud, but the deeper fracture runs through our sanctuaries and our hearts: a tug toward the “safe middle” masquerading as wisdom. We take a hard, honest look at why neutrality feels compassionate yet so often becomes ...

Spiritual Pornography: The Cost of True Intimacy with God (Special Guest Phill Tague)

Worship: Platform, Purity, and the Presence of God (Special Guest Jordan Ryals)

When God Says Wait

Obedience in the Shadows
Not every act of faith comes with applause. Not every “yes” to God gets noticed. Most of the Christian life is lived in the quiet places—where no one claps, no one cheers, and no one even knows what it cost you.This episode of Uncomf...
The Idol of Being Liked
We live in a culture obsessed with approval—chasing likes, applause, and affirmation as if they can fill the God-shaped hole in our souls. But here’s the hard truth: when being liked becomes your highest goal, Jesus will always offend you. In t...
