The Pastor Brad Podcast

Experience Palm Sunday through the eyes of the disciples and feel the power of that first triumphal entry. This message shows how laying down cloaks was a bold act of surrender to King Jesus and how the cry Hosanna meaning save us now came from people who had just seen Lazarus raised and blind eyes opened. You will also discover that Christ’s triumphal procession continues today. Wherever you go a...

Step into Isaiah 6 and encounter a holy, awe-filled vision of God on His throne. Isaiah sees the seraphim crying Holy, holy, holy, the temple filling with smoke, and he is struck by his own unworthiness. In honest confession he admits unclean lips, yet God does not reject him. A seraph touches Isaiah’s lips with a burning coal, atoning and cleansing him. Only after God qualifies him does Isaiah he...

How far will you go to follow God? Today we are reminded from Matthew 22:34–40 that Jesus calls us to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is not a distant faith but a whole-life response that asks us to surrender routine comforts and give God our first fruits, not our leftovers. Listen with an open heart and let God gently stretch the edges of your devotion so that wor...

Discover how covenant living reshapes everything. Drawing from Exodus 19:3-8, this message invites us to move beyond casual church habits into wholehearted commitment to God and His purposes. Like marriage, covenant with God reorients our identity and priorities around three truths: love God with all we have, pursue authentic and restorative relationships in the body of Christ, and sacrificially a...

What if the difference between missing what God is doing and living in His power comes down to hearing His voice? In John 10, there were people who had been around Jesus, they saw the miracles, and heard the teaching, yet they did not recognize that He was the messiah. However, there were some in the same crowd that were convinced and believed. What was the difference? Jesus makes a clear distinct...

This message challenges us to move beyond surface level faith and step into the transforming life Jesus calls us to live. Drawing from Matthew 5 and John 14, it reminds us that Christianity is not just about believing the right things but about living as visible reflections of God’s kingdom in a broken world. We confront the danger of settling for faith in name only or reducing God to self help an...

As a new year begins, this message invites us to move beyond comfortable faith and step into real discipleship. Drawing from John 15, we are reminded that Jesus calls us to abide in Him, not simply believe from a distance. True life and lasting fruit flow from daily connection with Christ through Scripture, prayer, worship, and community. This is not about religious habits but about a living relat...

This message explores the difference between simply waiting for God and actively walking with Him. Through the stories of Simeon and Anna in Luke 2, we see how through lives devoted to prayer and faith they were prepared to recognize Jesus when others missed Him. Their example challenges us to move beyond passive belief into genuine partnership with God. When God begins to move, the question is si...

This message reveals that Jesus was never an afterthought, but God’s plan from the very beginning. Throughout the Old Testament, the pre incarnate Christ was already present, meeting with Abraham, speaking to David, and revealing Himself to the prophets. The patriarchs did not just wait for a distant hope. They actually encountered Jesus and looked ahead to His coming with joy. This truth transfor...

What if the baby in the manger was the eternal God who had been stepping into human history for thousands of years? This message looks beyond the familiar Christmas story to reveal the pre incarnate Jesus, the Word who existed before time. From appearing to Abraham to walking in the fiery furnace, Jesus was not just a messenger but God Himself, the Creator of all things. Christmas becomes more tha...

This message dives straight into one of the least talked about topics in Christian marriage... sex. Yep, Paul went there in 1 Corinthians 7, and for good reason. Somewhere between a culture obsessed with immorality and believers who we're taught that sexual intimacy was “dirty,” the truth got lost. But here’s the real story: God designed sex as a sacred, joyful gift within marriage. It’s not dirty...

Marriage isn’t just about rings, romance, and shared Netflix accounts. It’s a divine partnership crafted by God Himself. From Genesis to Ephesians, we’re reminded that “two becoming one” is more than poetic—it’s spiritual. In a world that treats marriage like a contract, God calls us to see it as a covenant. When God’s the third strand in the relationship, storms can’t break what heaven has bound....

This message invites every woman to take a closer look at what true beauty really means. Spoiler alert... it's not about the mirror, it’s about the heart. Proverbs 31:30 reminds us that charm and looks fade, but a woman who fears the Lord shines forever. Through the story of Tabitha, we see that real beauty lives in faith, kindness, and compassion that moves heaven and earth. So let’s trade filter...

This message celebrates the powerful role of women in faith and the impact of godly examples. Centered on Titus 2:3-5, it highlights how older women can guide and encourage younger ones to live with faith, virtue, and strength. Through the story of the Canaanite woman’s persistent faith, we’re reminded to pray boldly, set high moral standards, and build up others. It’s a call for women to live out...
