    When the Leader is the Problem

    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.

    Running on Empty

    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: Why spiritual lows are often a sign of human limits, not failureHow God prioritizes physical care before spiritual correctionThe power of quiet moments and rest in renewing your faithWhy vulnerability and exhaustion are part of the human experience, even for the strongest believersPractical 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.

    When You Are Mad at God

    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.
