Beyond Church Walls w/ Brad Crowe

We often think growth happens in the big moments—when everything is clear, prayers are answered quickly, and life feels exciting. But a lot of the time, God does His deepest work in the space between where you are and where He’s leading you… what I call the gap. In this episode I discuss how God uses that in-between season to shape our faith, build endurance, and grow trust in Him. It’s not wasted...

What if the biggest thing holding you back from following God isn't fear... it's your backup plan? When God called Elisha, he didn't leave himself an escape route. He burned the plow, sacrificed the oxen, and stepped fully into what God had for him. In this episode of Beyond Church Walls, we talk about what it really means to trust God completely, why we cling to our "Plan B,&quot...

Just got back from church camp and wanted to take a few minutes to talk about what really happened this week. Camp is always fun—games, late nights, memories—but that’s not really what it’s about. It’s about students getting away from distractions and encountering God in a real way. This week we saw moments that I know won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Students worshiping, praying for each other, c...

A brunch conversation about a missing bottle of syrup turns into a deeper look at something we all struggle with—living off someone else’s faith instead of having our own encounter with God. In this episode of Beyond Church Walls, we look at John 4 and the woman at the well, where a simple moment at a well leads to an entire town meeting Jesus. Her story opened the door—but eventually, they had to...

From four lepers outside Samaria to the woman at the well, Scripture reminds us that God's blessings were never meant to stop with us. In this message from 2 Kings 7 and John 4, we explore how easy it is to receive God's grace, forgiveness, and hope while forgetting that someone else is still waiting to hear the good news. The lepers discovered food in an abandoned camp and realized they c...

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this episode of Beyond Church Walls, we challenge the idea that faith is just belief—and explore what it looks like when belief becomes action. Because even the demons believe… but they don’t follow. We talk about what it means to move from agreement to obedience, and why that difference changes everything.

What if your assumptions about God are actually causing disappointment? In this episode, we explore how we often project our expectations onto God using Jeremiah 29:11 and the life of Jesus. From a tense moment in a parking lot in Brinkley, Arkansas to the misunderstandings surrounding one of the Bible’s most popular verses — this episode will challenge you to let go of wrong assumptions and trust...

What if the reason you can’t fully follow God… is because you still have a backup plan? In this episode of the podcast, we look at the powerful moment when Elisha burned his plows and sacrificed the oxen after being called by Elijah. He didn’t leave himself a safety net. He didn’t keep one foot in the old life and one foot in the new. He went all in. We’ll talk about: Why total surrender matters T...

So often we focus on whether something is technically “right or wrong,” while ignoring the deeper issue of what’s happening inside of us. Through Scripture, stories from the lives of Saul and David, and honest personal reflection, we explore how God has always been after more than outward behavior—He’s after the heart behind it. From Cain and Abel to the Sermon on the Mount, this episode looks at...

This episode was recorded with two seniors from our youth group in mind as they step into a brand new season of life—but it’s also for anyone walking through transition or change. Change has a way of pulling us out of what’s familiar. New environments, new relationships, new pressures… and in those moments it’s easy to feel unsteady or disconnected from what God has been doing in us. In this episo...

“What do you do when you wake up in the middle of the night to what sounds like your house flooding? You know you’re half asleep, and all you hear is what sounds like water bursting through the house… and immediately your gut says… oh no. And what I found was nothing I could have expected… But it did teach me something about fear that I think a lot of us miss.

If culture defines truth… why does it keep changing? We live in a world where what’s “right” seems to shift constantly. But if truth is always changing, can it really be truth at all? In this episode, we talk about the danger of building life on cultural opinions and what it means to anchor yourself to something unchanging. https://linktr.ee/bradcrowe01

In a world that often equates success with visibility and popularity, it’s easy to fall into the trap of measuring our spiritual lives by what looks good on the outside. In this post, we’ll explore the concept of the illusion of success and how to discern genuine spiritual growth from mere appearances. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical teachings, we’ll uncover the importance of buildi...

In this episode, I invite listeners to rethink success through Jesus's teachings. Discover why faithfulness, not fame, defines true success in God's eyes. I explore the Pharisee trap, where leaders chase influence over God's purpose, using stories like Saul's rejection to illustrate the dangers of worldly metrics. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone tired of hollow applause....
