<p><strong>There’s something strangely intense about New Year’s Eve.</strong> You sit down with your Bible, a fresh cup of coffee, maybe even a journal… and suddenly your phone chirps: <strong>“Here’s your entire year in 37 seconds!”</strong> Absolutely not. Some of us are barely ready to check our bank app today — we don’t need an algorithm narrating our emotional journey.</p><p>But there <em>is</em> 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 <strong>Ninth Cup of Grace in the Grind</strong>.</p><p>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.</p><p>Inside this episode you’ll find: • A reflective New Year’s Eve message rooted in <strong>Isaiah 43:18–19</strong>, <strong>Psalm 138:8</strong>, and <strong>Lamentations 3:22–23</strong> • 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</p><p>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.</p><p>Perfect for listeners craving Christian encouragement, biblical reflection, end-of-year hope, and a reminder that <strong>grace is still at work in the grind.</strong></p><p>If this episode encourages you, share it with a friend heading into the new year — and be sure to subscribe so you never miss your next pour.</p><p><strong>Grace in the Grind is part of Arrow &amp; Roots Coffee Co. — where faith meets the everyday.</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Support the Podcast</strong> Grace in the Grind is brought to you by Arrow &amp; Roots Coffee Co.</p><p>Coffee Date is our most-loved blend — created for meaningful conversations, quiet mornings, and faithful rhythms in everyday life.</p><p>☕ Learn more or brew a cup with us: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://ArrowandRootsCoffeeCo.com/products/coffee-date">ArrowandRootsCoffeeCo.com/products/coffee-date</a></p>
