The Pastor Brad Podcast

In this powerful message on faith, we get an up close look Abram's transformation into Abraham. God called him to step out in faith, even when he didn't know where things were going. And just like God changed Abram's name to mark a new identity and purpose, this message challenges us to embrace a new identity in Christ. It's all about our willingness to follow God, sacrifice short-term comforts, a...

We all have “buckets” — parts of life we surrender to God, and parts we try to control. Proverbs 3:1–6 calls us to trust Him with everything. From Mary to Paul to David, Scripture shows us the power of full surrender. This message challenges us to stop compartmentalizing and let God into every decision, fear, and joy. What if your whole life was in the “God bucket”? Let Him overflow. 💧🔥

You weren’t called to be silent—you were empowered to be a witness. Acts 1:8 reminds us: the Holy Spirit gives us boldness to live and speak for Christ. It’s not about forcing faith—it’s about living it authentically. Like Peter and John, let your life testify to God’s power. Step out, live unashamed, and let your light shine.

Jesus challenges us to redefine greatness through service. In Matthew 20:25–28, He flips worldly ideas of power, calling us to become servants, not seekers of status. His life—healing, teaching, and ultimately sacrificing—models true humility. When we serve others with selfless hearts, we reflect Christ and become vessels of God's love in a world longing for authentic care.love in a world desperat...

In our spiritual journey, we're called to adopt practices that position us closer to God. Three essential practices emerge: meditating on God's Word, fasting, and connecting with fellow believers. Meditating on Scripture isn't about emptying our minds, but filling them with God's truth and applying it to our lives. Joshua 1:8 reminds us to meditate 'day and night' for spiritual prosperity. Fasting...

This message urges us to slow down and embrace the life-giving practices of Jesus—Sabbath, solitude, and prayer—not as rituals, but as rhythms that lead to real transformation. Drawing from Scripture, it reminds us that these habits aren’t about perfection but about intentionally connecting with God in the life we have now. By following Jesus' example, we move from our “fantasy self” to our “real...

This sermon explores the deep cultural and historical context of Jesus' call to discipleship. It unpacks the Jewish rabbinical tradition of the first century, revealing how Jesus' invitation to "follow me" carried profound meaning beyond a simple call to belief. Pastor Brad emphasizes that true discipleship involves a complete transformation of life, mirroring the rabbi-disciple relationship of Je...

Following Jesus isn’t about trying to earn God’s approval or working endlessly to stay in His good graces. Many of us fall into the trap of doing “all the right things” just to keep God and guilt at bay—but that’s not the gospel. Jesus didn’t call us to carry the burden of our sin forever. He called us to follow Him—into freedom, grace, and righteousness that He provides. You don’t have to earn it...

By embracing spiritual awakening, living with purpose, and staying engaged in the church community, we can experience a vibrant...
