Standing at the edge of something new can be exciting—and terrifying. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad dives into Joshua 1 and the moment Joshua stepped into impossible shoes after the death of Moses. Through personal stories, a remarkable lesson from explorer Ernest Shackleton, and God's repeated command to "be strong and courageous," you'll discover that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God's presence in the middle of it. If you're facing a new chapter, a difficult decision, or an uncertain future, this episode is the reminder you need: the same God who walked with Joshua is walking with you.

Before God gave Israel the Ten Commandments, He reminded them who they were. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad dives into Exodus 19 to explore the powerful truth that God doesn't just rescue us from something—He rescues us for something. Discover why your identity comes before your calling, what it means to be carried "on eagles' wings," and how remembering whose you are can change every decision you make this week.

Have you ever started reading the Bible, made it through Genesis and Exodus, and then hit Leviticus... only to stop? You're not alone. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad explores why one of the Bible's most overlooked books is actually one of its most important. Discover how the sacrifices, priests, and laws in Leviticus all point to Jesus, hear the incredible true story behind the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and learn a simple challenge that will change the way you read Scripture. Leviticus isn't just a book of rules—it's the story of a holy God making a way for broken people to draw near to Him.

On this episode the gang tackles the 2009 slasher "Friday the 13th" and they are joined by new cast member Ashley, host of Lox of Laughs on the Hopecast Network.

Ashley talks about meeting one of the stars of this movie at an audition and how that went. Plus, Brad wonders how much time Jason spends in the gym and what if MTD was his trainer. Could MTD be the new slasher's trainer? This is a funny episode about a movie that is bonkers.

This week on This Can’t Be Real with Brad, things somehow spiral from fast food frustration to full public humiliation. Brad breaks down the story of a man so angry at Taco Bell over his order that he returned later and released live crickets into the restaurant like he was starting the apocalypse over missing sauce packets. Then things get painfully awkward when a man accidentally rolls completely naked into a public car wash after trusting tinted windows way too much.

And finally, Brad reacts to a criminal genius who tried escaping police… in a canoe. Not a speedboat. Not a jet ski. A canoe. Leading to one of the slowest and dumbest getaway attempts imaginable while police casually watched from shore.

Along the way, Brad goes on hilarious tangents about Taco Bell revenge, Subaru stereotypes, men treating cars like apartments, awkward public nudity, and why no criminal should ever trust a paddle-powered escape plan. It’s another chaotic episode full of real stories that somehow sound completely made up.

In this episode of Movie Torture, the guys welcome Producer Gary to discuss the movie Santa Jaws, a truly bonkers movie and low-budget sci-fi horror film. They critique the acting, plot, and special effects, noting the lack of realism and the confusing storyline. They also discuss the characters and their questionable decisions. The guys find humor in the absurdity of the film, including the concept of a shark with a Santa hat and the use of Christmas-themed weapons. Santa Jaws is a campy and absurd holiday shark movie that received mixed reviews. While some viewers found it hilariously bad and enjoyed its over-the-top storyline and dialogue, others thought it was terrible and poorly executed. The movie follows the story of a boy who accidentally creates a comic book that brings a killer shark, Santa Jaws, to life. The characters and special effects were not well-developed, but the name Santa Jaws was widely praised.

On this episode of This Can’t Be Real with Brad, Brad dives into three stories that somehow prove common sense is officially on life support. First, a gender reveal party turns into a full-blown wildfire after a couple uses pyrotechnics to announce their baby, leading to firefighters, helicopters, and enough chaos to make Spencer Pratt furious. Then things get even stranger when a man loses his emotional support alligator inside a hotel, forcing confused guests and terrified employees into the most stressful continental breakfast experience imaginable.

And finally, Brad reacts to a criminal mastermind who steals a bicycle… only to list it on Facebook Marketplace and accidentally try selling it back to the original owner.

Along the way, Brad goes on hilarious tangents about modern gender reveals, Holiday Inn survival tactics, emotional support animals getting completely out of hand, and why criminals should probably stop using Facebook Marketplace like it’s Shark Tank. It’s another episode full of unbelievable real stories, savage commentary, and the kind of chaos that makes you nervous to leave your house.

In this practical and convicting episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe explores the story of Jacob and Esau and asks listeners a challenging question: What are you trading away for temporary satisfaction? Using a personal story about trading away a valuable Michael Jordan card as a kid, Brad dives into Genesis 25 and the moment Esau gave up his birthright for a simple bowl of stew.

Brad explains that Esau's mistake wasn't hunger—it was impulsiveness. He traded something permanent for something temporary, a pattern that still shows up today when people exchange character for convenience, integrity for popularity, family for success, or purpose for comfort. The episode challenges listeners to recognize the small compromises that slowly shape the direction of their lives.

To bring the lesson into the modern world, Brad shares the story of Ron Wayne, who sold his 10% stake in Apple for just $800—an ownership share that would eventually be worth tens of billions of dollars. While Ron Wayne has publicly said he doesn't regret the decision, the story serves as a powerful reminder that what feels urgent in the moment isn't always what's most valuable in the long run.

Through humor, relatable examples, and practical application, Brad encourages listeners to become "legacy people" rather than "immediate people," making decisions based on long-term impact rather than short-term cravings.
