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," and how faith grows when there's nothing left to fall back on.If this episode encourages you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone.

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, conversations that only happen when everything else slows down… and stories of God moving in real ways.I also share a couple moments that I believe will become “landmarks” in the faith of our students—things they’ll look back on for the rest of their lives and say, “That’s where everything changed.”I’m grateful for every person who prayed, gave, and helped make camp possible. It mattered more than words can say.Thanks for listening to this episode of Beyond Church Walls.

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 meet Him for themselves.It’s a reminder that faith can’t stay secondhand forever. At some point, it has to become personal.Follow Along: https://linktr.ee/bradcrowe01

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 couldn't keep the news to themselves. The Samaritan woman encountered Jesus and left her water pot behind because she had found something far greater to carry.God didn't just give us something to hold—He gave us something to carry.Scripture: 2 Kings 7:1-9 | John 4Preached at Greenwood First Assembly of GodJune 7, 2026

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 God’s real plans for your life.

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
• The danger of keeping “just in case” options
• What Jesus taught in John 6 that caused many people to walk away
• Why real faith often requires uncomfortable commitment
• How God uses ordinary people who are willing to fully follow Him

If you’ve ever struggled with fear, hesitation, or fully trusting God’s calling on your life, this episode is for you.

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 the danger of spiritual loopholes, partial obedience, and using technicalities to avoid transformation.

Because sometimes the biggest issue isn’t the action itself… it’s the motive behind the movement.

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 episode, we talk about what it looks like to stay anchored in Christ when life moves you outside your comfort zone. Not just surviving change, but learning how to walk with God in the middle of it—and discovering that your foundation in Him can actually hold in every new place you step into.If you’re about to leave something familiar, or you already have, this one’s for you.https://linktr.ee/bradcrowe01

“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.
