Your Weekly Calling

This week, Brad’s out and Hannah steps in with something real.

After a conversation with high school students, she tackles the kind of questions we don’t always say out loud—like how small compromises turn into life-altering decisions, and why what you do in private eventually shapes everything.

From ignoring the voice of God in the little moments… to the power of bringing struggles into the light… to how our words and church culture can either push people away or pull them toward help—this episode doesn’t stay surface level.

It’s honest. It’s personal. And it’s a reminder that following Jesus isn’t about perfection—it’s about paying attention to the small things before they become big things.

If you’ve ever wrestled with temptation, regret, or wondering how to actually live this out day-to-day—this one’s for you.

80 episodes in… and this one hits different.

Brad dives into Gospel of Luke chapter 5 and unpacks a simple but uncomfortable truth:

You can have Jesus in your boat… and still not be doing what He says.

From empty nets to overflowing boats, this episode is all about what happens when obedience finally kicks in. Because let’s be honest—most of us believe, but hesitate when it’s time to actually trust.

Brad keeps it real:

1. following Jesus doesn’t mean you won’t feel tired
2. going deeper isn’t comfortable
3. and staying shallow is always easier

But the breakthrough?

It’s always on the other side of obedience.

With a powerful story of John Newton and a personal reflection on faith, leadership, and real-life struggle, this episode challenges you to stop coasting and start moving.

Big idea:

Don’t just have Jesus in your life—listen to Him.

If you’ve been stuck, hesitant, or playing it safe, this one’s for you.

What if the worst moment in your life isn’t the final chapter?

In this Easter episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus didn’t just change history — it changed everything about our future.

Good Friday looked like total defeat. Jesus was beaten, mocked, crucified, and buried. His followers thought the story was over.

But then Sunday happened.

Brad shares the powerful true story of Romanian pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who celebrated Easter in a communist prison after being tortured for his faith — proving that resurrection hope can’t be chained, silenced, or taken away.

In just a few minutes, this episode will challenge you to:

• Identify the “Friday” in your life — the place that feels hopeless

• Remember that God still writes Sundays

• Bring resurrection hope to someone who needs it this week

Because the empty tomb means something powerful:

The worst thing is never the last thing when Jesus is involved.

Your calling isn’t just what you do — it’s how you live.

In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe dives into the tense relationship between David and King Saul in 1 Samuel 18–24 and what it teaches us about leadership, integrity, and trusting God when the person in charge has completely lost perspective.

Saul couldn’t see what God was doing. Jealousy and fear turned him against the very man helping his kingdom succeed. Spears were thrown. Trust was shattered. Yet David refused to become the villain in someone else’s broken leadership story.

Brad also shares a powerful historical moment from Abraham Lincoln and Edwin Stanton that shows how choosing character over revenge can change everything.

If you’ve ever worked under a difficult boss, a controlling leader, or someone who simply refuses to see things God’s way, this episode will challenge you to guard your character, trust God with your future, and remember something powerful:

You may not control your leadership, but you always control your integrity.

Listen in for a quick challenge that could completely reshape how you handle tough leadership this week.

Most of us push through exhaustion, convinced it's a sign of weakness. But what if true strength lies in recognizing when you're running on empty? Brad unpacks a powerful biblical story about Elijah that reveals how God meets us not in our triumphs, but in our lowest moments—and why rest is a spiritual act of courage.

After one of his greatest miracles in 1 Kings 18, Elijah faces a threat from Jezebel and crashes emotionally. What follows is a surprising lesson: God doesn't rebuke Elijah for his exhaustion—instead, He cares for him physically before caring for his soul. Through gentle whispers, food, and rest, Elijah learns that sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is pause, listen, and restore.

You'll discover:

1. Why spiritual lows are often a sign of human limits, not failure
2. How God prioritizes physical care before spiritual correction
3. The power of quiet moments and rest in renewing your faith
4. Why vulnerability and exhaustion are part of the human experience, even for the strongest believers
5. Practical steps to rest well without guilt, especially when you're emotionally drained

In a world that champions hustle, this episode reminds you that true strength comes from acknowledging your limits—and trusting God's care in your lows. If you're feeling spiritually tired, overwhelmed, or just in need of encouragement to pause and reset, this conversation is for you.

Perfect for anyone navigating burnout, seeking deeper faith, or desiring to understand God's gentle approach, this episode offers hope, practical wisdom, and a fresh perspective on God's presence during our most vulnerable moments.

Let's learn from Elijah: sometimes, the greatest act of faith is resting in God's whisper.

Most of us give up just before we breakthrough. But what if resistance and setbacks are signs you're closer to success than you think? Brad uncovers the powerful truth behind digging your well again—like Isaac in Genesis 26—and how persistence can turn frustration into flourishing.

In this episode, you'll discover how difficult seasons often hide vital water beneath the dirt of obstacles. Brad shares concrete examples: from biblical wells to real-life stories of recovery and renewal. You'll learn why resistance typically shows up where something valuable is waiting, and how to stay faithful when everything seems to push back. Plus, a practical challenge: identify the well you gave up on and decide to dig again—because true growth comes after perseverance, not quitting.

If you're feeling stuck in a relationship, battling discouragement, or on the verge of throwing in the towel on your dreams, this episode is your encouragement to keep going. The key isn't starting something new—it's revisiting what once had life and refusing to walk away. A soft place to land for anyone facing opposition and wondering if their breakthrough is just around the corner, this episode empowers you to turn frustration into future flourishing.

Don’t let resistance be your signal to stop. Your well is waiting—keep digging.

Most of us obey God's commands, but our hearts remain unaligned—doing the right thing on the surface, while harboring bitterness and resistance inside. Brad Lowe unpacks a biblical story that hits close to home, revealing why outward obedience often isn't enough and how internal rebellion can sabotage our spiritual growth.

In this eye-opening episode, you'll discover how Jonah's physical obedience contrasted with his emotional bitterness—and why that disconnect still plagues many of us today. Brad dives into the dangers of living with unresolved anger, the subtle ways our preferences can harden our hearts, and the explosive power of genuine mercy.

1. The unexpected lesson from Jonah 4 about obedience versus emotion
2. How bitterness and resentment block God's work in your life

4. A compelling story of grace extended to those who’ve hurt us—and why it’s so hard to accept
5. Practical steps to align your heart with God's love and mercy

Ignoring this internal struggle can keep you stuck, hinder your growth, and limit your impact. But embracing honesty about your anger and pain opens the door to genuine transformation and freedom. This episode is perfect for believers craving authentic faith, leaders fighting hidden resentment, and anyone longing for deeper intimacy with God.

Are you truly surrendered? Or are you just going through the motions? Tune in to discover how to confront your inner resistance and live out your faith with integrity and heart—because spiritual maturity isn't just obedience; it's a heart fully aligned with God's mercy.

This episode dives deep into a chilling biblical story that exposes what happens when everyone does "what's right in their own eyes" and how that same pattern threatens our modern world.

Join us as we explore the horror of judges and moral collapse in Judges 19—a story of a society so broken that even human tragedy becomes normalized.

Brad offers powerful reflections rooted in Scripture, reminding us that Jesus is the only one who restores what sin destroys. His call to live under Christ’s loving rule could not be more urgent—and more necessary.
