About this listen

Against The Grain is a faith-based podcast for a generation tired of shallow answers and lukewarm living. Hosted by four best friends, Gage Lee, Jack Plunkett, JD Gibson, and Aiden Alford, this podcast dives headfirst into real topics through the lens of Scripture, straight from God’s Word.

All four hosts are college students who once lived for the world, chasing sin, comfort, and approval. But everything changed when Jesus radically transformed their lives. Choosing obedience over convenience, truth over culture, and Christ over self, they decided to go against the grain.

Each episode features honest conversations, biblical teaching, and practical application rooted in Scripture and sound theology. The goal is simple but bold: to challenge a generation to step away from lukewarm faith, confront hard truths, and fully surrender to Jesus Christ. No sugarcoating. No cultural Christianity. Just the gospel.

Against The Grain is for anyone wrestling with faith, tired of surface-level religion, or hungry to grow deeper in their walk with Christ. Whether discussing theology, cultural issues, personal testimony, or spiritual discipline, this podcast exists to glorify God and point listeners back to the authority of His Word.

If you are ready to be challenged, encouraged, and called to something greater, this podcast is for you. The world may flow in one direction, but we are choosing a different path. We are choosing to live Against The Grain.
