The Pastor Brad Podcast

In this heartfelt Mother’s Day message, Pastor reflects on the sacred mission of Christian motherhood and the vital role moms play in shaping the next generation’s faith. Drawing from Proverbs and other Scriptures, he encourages mothers to create a safe, nurturing “womb” at home where children can grow, make mistakes, and learn to follow Jesus. You’ll hear practical encouragement about setting a godly culture in your house, guarding what influences your kids, and living out an authentic faith they can see and imitate. Whether you are a mom, dad, or grandparent, this message will inspire you to invest intentionally in your family’s spiritual life and trust God with the seeds of faith you are planting.

Join us as we step onto the distant shores of the Gerasenes in Luke 8 and witness Jesus confront a man possessed by a legion of demons. With a word, Christ’s authority shatters the grip of 6,000 unclean spirits and restores this tormented outcast to his right mind. He then sends him back into the very region he lived in as a living testimony of God’s power and mercy. This former demoniac becomes the first missionary to the Gentiles, proclaiming what Jesus had done long before Paul or the Great Commission. As we walk through this story we are invited to see our own bondage and freedom in Christ and to recognize that the very places of our deepest brokenness are often where God most wants to use us to bring hope and healing to others.

In this message we walk through John, chapter 9 and the account of the man born blind who meets Jesus and is completely transformed. Though he had no title or training and was treated as a second class citizen he boldly stood before the religious leaders and simply shared what Jesus had done for him. This sermon will encourage you to see that no one is disqualified from being used by God and that your testimony of encountering Jesus is more powerful than any argument. If you feel unqualified or weighed down by your past this word will help you step into confidence and share the good news right where you are.

In this message Pastor shares his recent experience preaching at a revival service and calls the church to become a people on fire for God. Drawing from Acts 2 and other key scriptures he reminds us that the early church was launched in the power of the Holy Spirit and that the same power is available today. He challenges us to move beyond routine religion and seek true revival through repentance intimacy with the Holy Spirit and a renewed passion for the mission of Jesus. This sermon invites you to cry out to God for personal and corporate awakening and to step forward in faith believing that God still saves heals and restores.

Join us for a powerful Friday night of worship and revival as churches gather to seek the Holy Spirit and rekindle a genuine fire for God. Through heartfelt praise inspiring preaching from Acts 2 and a strong call to repentance and surrender this service invites believers to move beyond routine religion and cry out for true transformation. You will hear a passionate appeal to become a church on fire living in the power of the Holy Spirit and stepping boldly into God’s purpose. Stay to the end for an extended altar response where many come forward to do real business with God and ask Him to restore revive and send them out with renewed faith.

In this message we look at the account of the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 and discover how Jesus pursues the outcast and crosses every barrier of race, gender, morality, and religion to offer living water and new life. We explore how He gently confronts her defenses, touches her deepest pain, and reveals Himself as the Messiah who satisfies every thirsty soul. Her encounter with Jesus transforms her from a rejected outsider into a bold witness who helps lead her whole town toward faith. Be encouraged that no matter where you come from or what you carry Jesus can meet you in your brokenness and send you out with a renewed purpose and a message of hope.

Experience Palm Sunday through the eyes of the disciples and feel the power of that first triumphal entry. This message shows how laying down cloaks was a bold act of surrender to King Jesus and how the cry Hosanna meaning save us now came from people who had just seen Lazarus raised and blind eyes opened.You will also discover that Christ’s triumphal procession continues today. Wherever you go as a follower of Jesus you carry the aroma of His presence bringing life encouragement and a clear witness of the Savior to those around you.

Step into Isaiah 6 and encounter a holy, awe-filled vision of God on His throne. Isaiah sees the seraphim crying Holy, holy, holy, the temple filling with smoke, and he is struck by his own unworthiness. In honest confession he admits unclean lips, yet God does not reject him. A seraph touches Isaiah’s lips with a burning coal, atoning and cleansing him. Only after God qualifies him does Isaiah hear the call Who shall I send? and answer Here am I, send me. The heart of the message is simple and life changing: God does not call the qualified first; He qualifies those who say yes. Let this encourage you to say yes today and trust God to anoint, equip, and send you.

How far will you go to follow God? Today we are reminded from Matthew 22:34–40 that Jesus calls us to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is not a distant faith but a whole-life response that asks us to surrender routine comforts and give God our first fruits, not our leftovers. Listen with an open heart and let God gently stretch the edges of your devotion so that worship, prayer, and daily choices reflect his claim on every part of your life.

Discover how covenant living reshapes everything. Drawing from Exodus 19:3-8, this message invites us to move beyond casual church habits into wholehearted commitment to God and His purposes. Like marriage, covenant with God reorients our identity and priorities around three truths: love God with all we have, pursue authentic and restorative relationships in the body of Christ, and sacrificially advance the gospel in our communities. This is not about marketing or membership but about offering our best to God.

What if the difference between missing what God is doing and living in His power comes down to hearing His voice? In John 10, there were people who had been around Jesus, they saw the miracles, and heard the teaching, yet they did not recognize that He was the messiah. However, there were some in the same crowd that were convinced and believed. What was the difference? Jesus makes a clear distinction, the ones who did believe were those who heard from God and they recognized Him. This message reminds us that faith grows when we quiet our hearts and let the Holy Spirit lead, guide, and speak to us. The question is simple...will we trust our own understanding, or will we listen and follow where God is calling us?

This message challenges us to move beyond surface level faith and step into the transforming life Jesus calls us to live. Drawing from Matthew 5 and John 14, it reminds us that Christianity is not just about believing the right things but about living as visible reflections of God’s kingdom in a broken world. We confront the danger of settling for faith in name only or reducing God to self help and comfort. Instead, we are invited into loving obedience that flows from a heart filled with Jesus. When we walk honestly in the light and let Christ shine through us, even in our imperfections, the world encounters real hope and real peace.

As a new year begins, this message invites us to move beyond comfortable faith and step into real discipleship. Drawing from John 15, we are reminded that Jesus calls us to abide in Him, not simply believe from a distance. True life and lasting fruit flow from daily connection with Christ through Scripture, prayer, worship, and community. This is not about religious habits but about a living relationship that shapes every part of who we are. The invitation of this season is clear. Do not settle for small spiritual changes. Allow God to transform you deeply as you remain rooted in Him and grow into the life He desires for you.

This message explores the difference between simply waiting for God and actively walking with Him. Through the stories of Simeon and Anna in Luke 2, we see how through lives devoted to prayer and faith they were prepared to recognize Jesus when others missed Him. Their example challenges us to move beyond passive belief into genuine partnership with God. When God begins to move, the question is simple, will we be ready to recognize it and respond?

This message reveals that Jesus was never an afterthought, but God’s plan from the very beginning. Throughout the Old Testament, the pre incarnate Christ was already present, meeting with Abraham, speaking to David, and revealing Himself to the prophets. The patriarchs did not just wait for a distant hope. They actually encountered Jesus and looked ahead to His coming with joy. This truth transforms how we read Scripture. God was showing His plan all along. The Messiah came to defeat our enemies, save us from judgment, and establish His eternal kingdom. As we celebrate Christmas, we remember the moment heaven broke into earth and prophecy became reality. This is an invitation to stand in awe that we now belong to that kingdom and are part of God’s story that stretches across all of history.

What if the baby in the manger was the eternal God who had been stepping into human history for thousands of years? This message looks beyond the familiar Christmas story to reveal the pre incarnate Jesus, the Word who existed before time. From appearing to Abraham to walking in the fiery furnace, Jesus was not just a messenger but God Himself, the Creator of all things. Christmas becomes more than a birth scene. It becomes the moment the eternal God chose to take on flesh and redeem us. As we enter this season, we are invited to rediscover the wonder that the God who shaped the stars and guided Israel is the same God who came near in the manger.

This message dives straight into one of the least talked about topics in Christian marriage... sex. Yep, Paul went there in 1 Corinthians 7, and for good reason. Somewhere between a culture obsessed with immorality and believers who we're taught that sexual intimacy was “dirty,” the truth got lost. But here’s the real story: God designed sex as a sacred, joyful gift within marriage. It’s not dirty, it’s divine. When we honor God's design, we build connection, trust, and healing. Marriage isn’t just about surviving together; it’s about thriving in God’s design for love and connection.

Marriage isn’t just about rings, romance, and shared Netflix accounts. It’s a divine partnership crafted by God Himself. From Genesis to Ephesians, we’re reminded that “two becoming one” is more than poetic—it’s spiritual. In a world that treats marriage like a contract, God calls us to see it as a covenant. When God’s the third strand in the relationship, storms can’t break what heaven has bound. So before you roll your eyes at your spouse, remember: they’re not your problem, they’re your blessing.

This message invites every woman to take a closer look at what true beauty really means. Spoiler alert... it's not about the mirror, it’s about the heart. Proverbs 31:30 reminds us that charm and looks fade, but a woman who fears the Lord shines forever. Through the story of Tabitha, we see that real beauty lives in faith, kindness, and compassion that moves heaven and earth. So let’s trade filters for faith, vanity for virtue, and let our love for God be the glow that never fades.

This message celebrates the powerful role of women in faith and the impact of godly examples. Centered on Titus 2:3-5, it highlights how older women can guide and encourage younger ones to live with faith, virtue, and strength. Through the story of the Canaanite woman’s persistent faith, we’re reminded to pray boldly, set high moral standards, and build up others. It’s a call for women to live out their faith and shape the next generation with wisdom and grace.

Being a man of God is not about bravado, it is about being rooted in faith and leading with love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 calls men to rise up, stand firm, and set the spiritual tone in their homes. Like ancient watchmen on the walls, we are charged to guard, guide, and inspire. This is the true call to masculinity: a life of courage, sacrifice, and faith that shapes families and transforms communities.

How do we get right with God? Romans 3:21-26 holds the answer, and it has nothing to do with our good works or religious performance. In this powerful message, we’re reminded that righteousness comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. All of us have fallen short of God’s glory, yet the Gospel offers redemption as a free gift of grace. This truth levels the playing field and unites us in our need for a Savior. The question is—are we truly surrendered to Him, or just playing church?

In this inspiring message, we’re reminded of Romans 12:2 where it says to be transformed, not conformed. True spiritual growth isn’t about perfection, but small, consistent steps guided by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Joshua 1:7-9, we’re challenged to not just read God’s Word, but live it daily. Transformation happens in fellowship, in obedience, and in renewing our minds, which leads us into our new identity in Christ and the eternal riches of His grace.

Saul was the ultimate religious rule-keeper, that is until one divine encounter flipped his life upside down. In this sermon, we unpack the radical transformation of Saul into Paul and ask the tough question: Are you just religiously correct, or are you genuinely in love with Jesus? It's not about perfect habits, it’s about a surrendered heart. Let’s move from rituals to real relationship and start living like it matters.

In this powerful message from Matthew 16:13-20, we dive into the moment where Peter boldly declares Jesus as the Christ. That confession changes everything, not just for Peter, but even the Church today. The true “rock” is the profession of Jesus as the Christ and God's son. The question you must ask is...Who do YOU say Jesus is? This truth shapes your entire faith journey. Let God transform your passion into purpose, and build your life on the solid rock of Christ!

In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider our divine purpose and the patience required to see it fulfilled. The story of Joshua takes center stage, highlighting his unwavering faith and determination to enter the Promised Land, even after a 40-year delay. This narrative reminds us that God's timing often differs from our own, yet His promises remain steadfast. We're encouraged to reflect on our own callings, recognizing that the journey between receiving a promise and its fulfillment is often filled with challenges and doubts. The message emphasizes the importance of 'waiting with faith' versus 'waiting without faith,' urging us to trust in God's plan even when circumstances seem bleak. As believers, we're reminded that we're not just waiting for the next life, but are called to be active ambassadors of God's kingdom here and now, reflecting His divinity in our daily lives.

Discover the profound blessing that God gave us in Genesis 1:26–28. It's a call not just to action, but to living empowered so that we may prosper in every area of our lives. This inspiring sermon challenges you to embrace God’s blessing, grow in Christ-like character, and make an eternal impact. Are you living fruitful and multiplying in God’s kingdom? Let’s reflect, grow, and walk in His abundance together.

In this inspiring message, we explore the life-changing encounter between Jacob and God. Jacob’s story in Genesis shows us how God meets us in the midst of our struggles and wrestles with us, not to harm, but to transform us. No matter your past mistakes or brokenness, God can redeem you and give you a new name. This truth challenges us to stop running from our issues, embrace the struggle, and let's God shape us through it. Like Jacob, you too can emerge from your spiritual battles with a new identity rooted in His love and grace. Wrestle well, because through it, God is making you into who you were truly meant to be.

In this powerful message on faith, we get an up close look Abram's transformation into Abraham. God called him to step out in faith, even when he didn't know where things were going. And just like God changed Abram's name to mark a new identity and purpose, this message challenges us to embrace a new identity in Christ. It's all about our willingness to follow God, sacrifice short-term comforts, and set our eyes on our eternal promises. Are you ready to journey beyond your comfort zone?

We all have “buckets” — parts of life we surrender to God, and parts we try to control. Proverbs 3:1–6 calls us to trust Him with everything. From Mary to Paul to David, Scripture shows us the power of full surrender. This message challenges us to stop compartmentalizing and let God into every decision, fear, and joy. What if your whole life was in the “God bucket”? Let Him overflow. 💧🔥

You weren’t called to be silent—you were empowered to be a witness. Acts 1:8 reminds us: the Holy Spirit gives us boldness to live and speak for Christ. It’s not about forcing faith—it’s about living it authentically. Like Peter and John, let your life testify to God’s power. Step out, live unashamed, and let your light shine.

Jesus challenges us to redefine greatness through service. In Matthew 20:25–28, He flips worldly ideas of power, calling us to become servants, not seekers of status. His life—healing, teaching, and ultimately sacrificing—models true humility. When we serve others with selfless hearts, we reflect Christ and become vessels of God's love in a world longing for authentic care.love in a world desperate for authentic, sacrificial care.
