  Men Need Men: What We Took Away From STAND

  Aug 18, 202646 min

  Jamie and Timm are back from the **STAND Men’s Conference at First Baptist Church Opelika**, and this one left an impact. In this episode, we break down our biggest takeaways from a day of worship, laughter, encouragement, and biblical truth alongside hundreds of other men. We talk about worship with **Charles Billingsley**, comedy from **Jonnie W.**, and the messages from **Auburn head baseball coach Butch Thompson, Phil Waldrep, and Al Robertson**—and what each of them challenged us to think about in our own lives. But one of our biggest takeaways wasn’t just something said from the stage. It was the power of **Christian men gathering together, encouraging one another, worshiping together, and realizing we aren’t trying to live out our faith alone.** Coming right at the beginning of another school year, STAND was exactly the encouragement we needed. And now we want more. If your church or ministry is hosting a men’s conference, retreat, or event anywhere in the Southeast, **invite us!** We’d love to come worship with you, meet other men pursuing Christ, and help spread the word about what God is doing in your community. **Men need fellowship. Men need encouragement. Men need other godly men. It’s time to STAND.**

  More Than a Mission Trip with Andrew Odom

  Aug 11, 202638 min

  This week, Jamie and Timm sit down with Andrew Odom to talk about faith, service, and what happens when God takes you outside your comfort zone. Andrew shares about growing up with Jamie in Red Level and the influence his Pawpaw had on his relationship with Christ before taking us to Honduras and Orphanage Emmanuel. What began as a mission trip became something much deeper as Andrew and his wife spent time playing with the kids, building relationships, and showing them the love of Christ. The experience left a lasting impact on their family, and today they sponsor three girls from the orphanage. Andrew also shares about his work with Ultimate Experience Outdoors, a nonprofit using hunting and fishing to create unforgettable experiences for children and veterans. It’s a conversation about the people God uses to shape our faith, stepping outside of what’s comfortable, and discovering that sometimes when you go somewhere to serve others, God changes you in the process.

  Busy Building The Wrong Things

  Aug 4, 202639 min

  We all say God comes first. But if someone looked at our calendar, our conversations, and the way we spend our time, would they come to the same conclusion? This week, Jamie and Timm discuss a conviction that came out of an FCA leadership meeting: are we simply too busy, or have we become busy building the wrong things? Looking at Haggai 1, Jesus' words in Matthew 6, and the example we set for our children and those around us, they wrestle with what it really means to seek God's Kingdom first. This isn't a conversation about doing more. It's about making sure the things that matter most are actually first.

  The Next Assignment with Tripp Henderson

  Jul 28, 202644 min

  Tripp Henderson returns to Gospel & Gradebooks for the third time to share what God has been doing since leaving the classroom to serve as an FCA Area Representative. We talk about what led him to step away from teaching, how God confirmed the decision, and what he hopes to see happen in the lives of students through Fellowship of Christian Athletes this school year. As another school year begins, we also spend time discussing how parents can encourage their children to stand firm in their faith when they walk through the school doors. Whether you're a teacher, parent, student, or simply wondering where God may be leading you next, this conversation is a reminder that our greatest calling is always to faithfully follow Him wherever He sends us.

  Faith Takes Discipline

  Jul 21, 202646 min

  Discipline isn’t always exciting. Most of the time, it simply means doing what needs to be done, even when we don’t feel like doing it. This week, we’re talking about what biblical discipline actually looks like in everyday life. Scripture shows us that faithful men and women aren’t built in a single moment. They’re shaped through consistent choices, small acts of obedience, and the decision to keep showing up when motivation disappears. We also get honest about the areas where we struggle with discipline ourselves and talk about how the habits we build in our faith, families, health, work, and everyday lives shape who we are becoming. You don’t have to change everything overnight. Sometimes you just have to stop waiting until you feel like it and do it anyway.
