Celebrate Good Times!

This is the 100th Episode of "Spirit Realm with Pastor Brad" on the Real Talk Radio Network and all of our podcast platforms.

My producer, Drew Shelton, hops on with me for a little conversation as we celebrate 100 episodes.

Then, we announce our next Spirit Realm Conference and finish our Baker's Dozen Leadership Lesson that we launched last week.

Thanks for being a part of our podcast and for being a part of our community.

All God's Best to each of you--Pastor Brad

Pastor Brad went into one of his favorite subjects--Spiritual Leadership.

We all lead--even if it is only self-leadership in your life--leadership is a vital part of our daily walk.

We are taking a couple of weeks to look into Pastor Brad's "Baker's Dozen of Spiritual Leadership."

Many of you have been with us from the beginning. Thanks so much for the support. Next week we will celebrate our 100th Episode!

After taking one week off from his weekly radio broadcast, Pastor Brad is back with the second part of our mini-series.

He talks in depth about the battle against the "unclean spirits;" the spirits that live on earth and search for bodies to inhabit.

We hope this one shines some more light into the darkness to help set captives free!

You've asked for it and we responded.

We dig into a few verses that help us understand our authority as Christ followers over the demonic realm.

And, Pastor Brad shares a few stories of some different deliverance moments that he has been involved with over the years.

We don't rejoice that demons are subject to us--we rejoice that our names are written in the Lambs Book of Life. Still, we must know we carry Jesus' authority in our daily lives...

All the best!

After taking the time to pray over each of his listeners, Pastor Brad puts a wrap on the 1 John series...

It has been quite the journey and we hope it is helping you in your spiritual walk.

What's next?

Happy Fourth of July Weekend 2026 to the USA!

Pastor Brad goes deep into 1 John 5 as he is nearing wrapping up the series on Gnosticism.

We have learned so much in this series and we thank you for joining us many steps along the way.

We will conclude 1 John next week and see where our journey takes us moving forward.

All the Best...Pastor Brad

After a few weeks of other subjects, Pastor Brad takes us back into 1 John to learn how to effectively protect oneself from the dangers of the "Hidden Knowledge" cult.

Thanks for being a part of our "Coffee & Spirits" podcast; we've been together for 94 episodes!

All the Best...

In this episode of Coffee & Spirits, Pastor Brad wraps up the two-part mini series on the validity of God's Word, he provides guidelines to help us study God's Word, and he shares a Bible Study Method to help you in your personal study time.

It is our desire to equip and empower you in your spiritual journey.

Thanks to everyone who has been a part of the first two years of this podcast. We sincerely hope it adds value to your faith walk.

Let's take a look at the creating of the Sacred Space as the Hebrews traveled through the wilderness (were Azazel lived) and how it corresponds to 1 Corinthians 5 and the call to avoid sexual sin...

This is wild stuff!
