Well, it's not the "101 Dalmatians" but it is the 101st episode of The Spirit Realm!Very rarely do we talk about the genuine spiritual implications of generosity, giving, tithing, and fighting against the spirit of mammon. Pastor Brad launches into this subject today.You will have to stay tune for part 2; as this subject grew over the course of our discussion.All God's Best to you!

Thanks so much for the support. Next week we will celebrate our 100th Episode!PB

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?PB

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.R.E.A.D.Y. A Bible Study Method byPastor Brad Riley R – Read: Read through the text and request the guidanceof the Holy Spirit.Key Verse: Psalm 1:1-2: “Blessed is the one who doesnot walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.”  NIVQuestion Prompts: What Scriptures should I be reading through at this time?What is the text communicating? E – Explore (Examine): Look at the context, key wordsand themes, and what the passage meant to the original audience.Key Verse: 2 Timothy 2:15: “Do your best to presentyourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” NIVQuestion Prompts: What is the main theme or historical context?What are the surprises in the passage?Have I misunderstood this passage in the past? A – Apply: See how the passage impacts your life,your choices, and your relationships and make applications in real time.Key Verse: James 1:25: “But whoever looks intentlyinto the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—notforgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”  NIVQuestion Prompts:As I look through the lens of what Jesus has done for me, how does this passage apply to me?Do I see examples of what the text teaches in my daily life? D – Do: Commit yourself to actionable steps andchanges based on what you learned.Key Verse: James 1:22: “Do not merely listen to theword, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”  NIVQuestion Prompts:What would hinder me from aligning my choices with what I’m learning?Am I under self-deception for not doing what I have learned previously? Y – Yield: Pray through what you have discovered andthe determinations you have made based on your study and ask the Holy Spiritfor His help to follow God’s direction.Key Verse: Romans 12:1-2: “Therefore, I urgeyou, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”  NIVQuestion Prompts:Lord, will you highlight what you want me to change today?Holy Spirit will you lead me into all truth and hold me accountable to change?

Pastor Brad has been asked about God's Word, Bible Study Methods, and a few different questions regarding the development of Scripture.This kicks off a two-week many series focused around the topic of God's Word.This week we will discuss:The Materialization of God's WordThe Inspiration of God's WordThe Dedication to God's WordWe hope you glean some things that will help you in your journey...Pastor Brad

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!PB

Hey Friends,Pastor Brad takes a look into the subject of "tongues" and brings a few fresh takes into the topic.Just like Adam and Eve were instructed to multiply and spread throughout the earth--Jesus' disciples have been told to multiply and spread throughout the earth. Now, however, we have been given the Spirit to reach all the estranged nations that were spread during the Tower of Babel incident.What a powerful gift we have been given!Enjoy the time today--this subject is a lot of fun.

Pastor Brad looks into a command that was given to God's people on three separate occasions in the Torah.Remember, if its weird, it matters...so this topic matters. Ultimately, it exposes more and more ways the lower level spiritual beings attempt to lead us astray.But, we are of those who are true to the Most-High God and live in His blessing and freedom.All God's Best...PB

After taking a few weeks to refresh our Biblical worldview, Pastor Brad is back to addressing the lies of Gnosticism. Gnosticism impacted Adam and Eve in the Garden. It has influenced religious cults and mystics. Sadly, it was making its impact in the church.The Apostle John was concerned about it for the early church and we see those same patterns and teachings in the church today. It's a timely conversation.Thanks for joining us!www.bradriley.netwwww.faithchapelag.com

In this podcast, Pastor Brad looks into the three rebellions we see in the Scriptures, from the serpent being in the Garden of Eden to the gods of the nations. This topic will help you to better understand the principalities and powers Paul was addressing in the letter to the Ephesians.Let's learn. Let's grow. And, let's walk in the victory Jesus has already provided for us.God's Best...Pastor Brad

Humanity is dust, but when the Breath (Rüach) of God enters that dust, we become living beings. God's imagers.Gnosticism offers a knowledge path that leads us unto death, but through God's Spirit we are given wisdom, discernment, and life.Thanks for joining us this week!www.BradRiley.netwww.FaithChapelag.net

Come on! The second week of refreshing our understanding of the rebellious "Ben ha Elohim" of Genesis Six.This is interesting and fascinating stuff. We hope you enjoy our study of some of the weird/unusual and deep stuff in the ScripturesAll the Best,Pastor Bradwww.bradriley.netwww.faithchapelag.net

What's up Spirit Realm Family?!So many times Pastor Brad is asked about the beings discussed in Psalm 82, the transgressions of Genesis 6, and even the context of Jesus' words in John 10; when He stated, "I called you gods."It is a fascinating subject and what started as a one week topic quickly developed into a two week mini-series.Enjoy the next two weeks as Pastor Brad delves into this topic and exposes the Biblical understanding that can too often be overlooked.www.bradriley.netwww.faithchapelag.com

What an incredible story--The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead!The spirit realm shook, the rebellious ben ha Elohim were defeated, and God's imagers were given hope again.Let's spend a second week talking about the event that changed the Heavens and the Earth!Jesus is Risen...

This week, Pastor Brad launches a two-week mini series on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.The resurrection of Jesus from the dead changes everything!We will look at some of the resurrection proofs that will strengthen your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.Jesus is Risen.

We hope you are learning, growing, and enjoying our walk through 1 John. The heresies and teachings John was addressing with the early church are still an issue for the current church.Aren't you thankful we have God's word to turn to for answers and direction?!All the Best...

Pastor Brad steps back into 1 John and digs into the truths the Apostle John is bringing to God's people.This is a really encouraging message to Christ followers. Yet, John challenges us to turn from the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life. It's a challenge that is still timely for us today.God bless each and everyone of you!www.bradriley.net

Pastor Brad sat down at the mic to start discussing Gnosticism and the way it influences the modern church...and the next thing we knew, his "pastoral hat" was on as he discussed a lot of the challenges that we are currently facing in our world.Eventually, he addressed some of the topics from 1 John, but this became a very timely message for God's people.God's best to each of you,www.bradriley.net

One of Pastor Brad's most requested episodes is about Paul commanding women to cover their hair. But, Paul adds the most unusual ending to the sentence, "because of the angels."This is a deep dive into some interesting stuff that was believed at the time of the writing to the Corinthian church.Let's go deep this week and enjoy the journey.PB

This week, we decided to throw back to Pastor Brad's very first time to be on the radio...he introduced the Three Rebellions and gave a nice overview of the Spirit Realm.We hope you enjoy the throwback and thanks for being a faithful part of our Podcast Community.

We have been examining some verses to help us wrap our minds around what it might look like or be like when a believer in Christ passes from this life to the next life.We talk about Abraham's Bosom, Paradise, Heaven, and more.This is such an encouraging episode and there is a really interesting story with quite the twist in our third segment.We hope you enjoy the show this week!Pastor Brad

God's Word gives us some insight into what "it" looks like when a Christ-follower dies.In this episode, Pastor Brad looks into the Scriptures to help us wrap our minds around this moment. We will all face this moment and it would be nice to have some better understanding of it.All God's Best to Each of you,PB

This week is challenging; convicting."God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all!"Gnostics claim God is evil, physical things are evil, and hidden esoteric knowledge is the true way to salvation.John claims God is Light, Jesus put on flesh, He will teach us all things and He is the only way to salvation.Let's go for it in this episode!PB

We continue gaining insight from the beloved apostle John to help us stay connected to the genuine, the authentic, the real, and the Son of God; Jesus.So many spiritual journeys lead to a trap...Jesus will only lead us to freedom and life everlasting.What a great opportunity to grow in greater grace and relationship with Jesus.Pastor Brad :)

We hope everyone is making it through the most recent weather challenges that have swept across much of the United States and we trust our International audience is safe and well.Pastor Brad continues his look into 1 John as the dear apostle was helping the church to face the dangers of Gnosticism.The enemy always offers "a tree" that will give us spiritual knowledge outside of God's path, but ultimately, it will always lead to destruction.God bless each and every one of you!Pastor Bradwww.bradriley.net

The world's culture is promoting every possible spiritual avenue--except the Only Way to the Father, Jesus.It isn't a new problem; it's an old problem.From the Garden of Eden the serpent has been offering a hidden knowledge to "be like God," which has always proved to be an empty esoteric invitation.We are going to spend some time in our next few shows learning how the apostle John addressed these things to the church.We hope you enjoy this time...Pastor Brad

If it's weird, it matters. The visible is temporary and the invisible is eternal. Waiting on the Lord is about serving Him and not sitting around. His kingdom is not only proclaimed, but it is also demonstrated.Pastor Brad hits a variety of topics as he does his show this week. Perhaps his ADD was firing or perhaps he was being led by the Spirit...you be the judge. Have a great week...

Pastor Brad isn't one for trying to have a new revelation or a new prophetic word for the New Year. However, he did take this first episode of 2026 to challenge us in some of the basic things in our Spiritual Walk.Grab your Bibles and get ready to look into:Isaiah 40:28-31Matthew 10:7-8Matthew 11:1-7Have an incredible Day and a Great Start to your New Year!www.BradRiley.net

JESUS.The Only Son of the Most-High God pierced the darkness. He is the fulfillment of the Bond-Servant who was willing to pierce his ear in loyal relationship. We hope you had a fantastic Christmas and that this podcast encourages you today. :)All the best...Pastor Bradwww.bradriley.net

What's Up Spirit Realm Fam!We hope you LOVE this week's episode. Pastor Brad launches into the subject of "Piercing The Darkness" for the Season of Advent.God spoke, "Let there be light," over the surface of the deep and light appeared. Light happens in the supernatural before it happens in the natural. God's Word is Light.Jesus is God's Word made flesh...no wonder He is the Light of the world.This episode will encourage you, build you up in your most-holy faith, and remind you that God is not even challenged by darkness. After all, the devil himself is not even a challenge for the Most-High (Elyon) God (Elohim)!All the Best...www.BradRiley.net

Pastor Brad goes deep into the First Advent...the first coming of Jesus, the Son of the Most-High God.We look into some incredible spirit realm principles surrounding the birth of Jesus.Grab your Bibles; we will dig into:Psalm 82Exodus 20Genesis 3 & 6It's going to be a great time!

Hey Friends!We have a special Spirit Realm episode for you this week!Pastor Brad was connected to Noel Kenny from Dublin, Ireland over a decade ago. They have ministered together, they have encouraged one another and they have had the opportunity of ministering in each other's churches.Pastor Noel has an amazing testimony of God's kindness and faithfulness. Noel was in America to spend time with dear friends and to encourage the people of Faith Chapel. Pastor Brad asked him to join him on the radio to share God's story in his life.They needed so much more time--but we certainly hope Noel's story will be an encouragement to you! All God's Best to You,www.BradRiley.net

Pastor Brad continues diving into Paul's last letter in the Scriptures--this one was written to his son in the faith, Timothy.Paul gave Timothy insights that he needed and we need them for the days in which we live.Be Blessed!Pastor Brad :) www.BradRiley.net

In this episode of Spirit Realm, Pastor Brad is in his second week of our series through 2 Timothy.After a brief recap of the week before, Pastor Brad spends the majority of the time sharing some spiritual truths and challenges from 2 Timothy 1:9; you will learn about the fascinating Greek word "prothesis."By the time the episode is complete, we will be nearly done with the first chapter of this incredible letter; it was timely for Timothy and it is timely for us.All the best!www.BradRiley.net

In this episode, Pastor Brad shares a few thoughts from his heart as the show gets started.When we enter into the third segment, he is systematically walking us through Paul's 2nd letter to Timothy, his son in the faith.It is such an encouraging letter for our challenging times. We hope you are strengthened in your faith and encouraged in your walk with our Eternal King.All the best,www.bradriley.net

Who would have known, when Pastor Brad started his series two weeks ago addressing some of the challenges and persecutions Christians face for Jesus, that Charlie Kirk would have been killed in the public square? He spoke for Jesus. He spoke up for life and identity in the way God created them--male and female.Our series on 2 Timothy is timely.We hope this encourages you today!

Pastor Brad went to the studio on the morning of 9/11/25 to record this episode of Spirit Realm. And, for the first two segments he felt like the Lord wanted him to talk about God's new mercies that are available to each of us; even during the most difficult times.We had know idea that Charlie Kirk would be murdered (martyred) just a few hours after recording.The episode of Spirit Realm is launching us into a new series--for the next few weeks, we are going to walk through 2 Timothy together. It was the last letter Paul wrote before he was murdered (martyred) for his message of hope in Jesus Christ.In the middle of darkness, light shines the brightest. It was true when Paul wrote his letter and it is just as true today.May God bless each of you; may He give you mercy, peace, and wisdom in everything you face.

This week, Pastor Brad is back with a timely message that is sure to encourage you; it reveals the love of the Most-High and the radical way the Kingdom of Heaven pursues after the imagers of God.We pray it brings hope and grace to each of you!All God's Best...www.BradRiley.net
