Episode 31 "Grace in the Grind"

from "The Grateful Dread" (podcast) · host Andrew Young

This episode is inspired by an elevation church sermon I watched this morning called "the gift in the grind".  As I was listening to the sermon I was realizing I was misunderstanding something God was trying to bring to my attention yesterday. I had been praying for provision in my life financially and I was really starting to lose faith that doing what I believe I've been called to do (being a recording artist/songwriter) was going to be fruitful enough for me to continue to do it full time. I prayed to God to lead me and I agreed to submit and follow His lead even if it meant going a path I didn't see for my own life. During that prayer, I received a series of text messages from my friend Paul with attempts to motivate me and 1 of his text said "get a job" if you need a resume I got you and he sent me a job posting that listed a bunch of qualifications and experience the ideal candidate would have and I noticed I had all the qualifications and experience doing all the things they listed. I was ready to make a resume and apply but something wasn't sitting right with me after watching this sermon and praying I realized that I hadn't been doing all those things I was capable of doing for Jimmy Sol. I did all these things for TheMadFanatic and God's grace showed up over and over again. I realized God wasn't telling me to go take a job doing those things for another company or artist or label but rather to get back to GRINDING the way I knew how to. I realized that God isn't just gonna do it for me I have to REALLY show up and do my part and give a REAL effort. I had to get back to on my grind and I felt like God was telling me you grind and I'll give you grace. So my message today is to put in the work and expect God to show up because Grace is in the grind! I pray this message touches someone and as always appreciate the blessings!
