The Pastor Brad Podcast

Being a man of God is not about bravado, it is about being rooted in faith and leading with love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 calls men to rise up, stand firm, and set the spiritual tone in their homes. Like ancient watchmen on the walls, we are charged to guard, guide, and inspire. This is the true call to masculinity: a life of courage, sacrifice, and faith that shapes families and transforms communi...

How do we get right with God? Romans 3:21-26 holds the answer, and it has nothing to do with our good works or religious performance. In this powerful message, we’re reminded that righteousness comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. All of us have fallen short of God’s glory, yet the Gospel offers redemption as a free gift of grace. This truth levels the playing field and unites us in our need...

In this inspiring message, we’re reminded of Romans 12:2 where it says to be transformed, not conformed. True spiritual growth isn’t about perfection, but small, consistent steps guided by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Joshua 1:7-9, we’re challenged to not just read God’s Word, but live it daily. Transformation happens in fellowship, in obedience, and in renewing our minds, which leads us into our...

Saul was the ultimate religious rule-keeper, that is until one divine encounter flipped his life upside down. In this sermon, we unpack the radical transformation of Saul into Paul and ask the tough question: Are you just religiously correct, or are you genuinely in love with Jesus? It's not about perfect habits, it’s about a surrendered heart. Let’s move from rituals to real relationship and star...

In this powerful message from Matthew 16:13-20, we dive into the moment where Peter boldly declares Jesus as the Christ. That confession changes everything, not just for Peter, but even the Church today. The true “rock” is the profession of Jesus as the Christ and God's son. The question you must ask is...Who do YOU say Jesus is? This truth shapes your entire faith journey. Let God transform your...

In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider our divine purpose and the patience required to see it fulfilled. The story of Joshua takes center stage, highlighting his unwavering faith and determination to enter the Promised Land, even after a 40-year delay. This narrative reminds us that God's timing often differs from our own, yet His promises remain steadfast. We're encouraged to refl...

Discover the profound blessing that God gave us in Genesis 1:26–28. It's a call not just to action, but to living empowered so that we may prosper in every area of our lives. This inspiring sermon challenges you to embrace God’s blessing, grow in Christ-like character, and make an eternal impact. Are you living fruitful and multiplying in God’s kingdom? Let’s reflect, grow, and walk in His abundan...

In this inspiring message, we explore the life-changing encounter between Jacob and God. Jacob’s story in Genesis shows us how God meets us in the midst of our struggles and wrestles with us, not to harm, but to transform us. No matter your past mistakes or brokenness, God can redeem you and give you a new name. This truth challenges us to stop running from our issues, embrace the struggle, and le...

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...
