Presence Over Position

In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe dives deep into Psalm 84:10 and the powerful idea that God’s presence matters more than position. Brad challenges the mindset of constantly chasing the “next thing” and asks a hard question: What if the place you’re trying to leave is actually the place God wants to meet you? Using David’s picture of being a simple doorkeeper in God’s house, Brad unpacks the tension between success and surrender, platform and presence. Along the way, he reflects on a youth camp moment that changed how he understood the verse and connects it to a surprising quote from Jim Carrey about fame and emptiness. This episode pushes listeners to stop measuring life only by results and instead become people who pursue closeness with God above everything else. The message lands with a practical challenge to practice God’s presence in ordinary, unnoticed moments and to stop trying to escape seasons God may actually be using to deepen them.

Slow Down & See Again

This week, Brad leans into a feeling a lot of people don’t talk about: doing all the right things… but still feeling stuck.Anchored in Psalm 119:17–30, this episode shifts from last week’s focus on priorities to a deeper issue—distraction and lack of clarity. Brad highlights the raw honesty of this passage—“open my eyes,” “my soul is weary,” “my soul melts away”—showing that this isn’t surface-level faith, it’s a desperate prayer for something real. The message is clear: when life feels heavy or confusing, don’t pull away from God’s Word—press deeper into it. Using the comeback story of Howard Schultz, Brad draws a powerful parallel. When Starbucks was drifting, Schultz didn’t push harder—he stopped everything to refocus. He retrained, re-centered, and helped the company “see again.” The same is true spiritually—sometimes the issue isn’t effort, it’s vision. Psalm 119 calls us to slow down, ask God to open our eyes, and let His Word move from inspiration to direction. Brad challenges listeners to stop speed-reading Scripture and start sitting in it—to be honest about weariness, reject shortcuts, and let truth reshape how they think and live. The episode wraps with a practical “Open My Eyes 7-Day Reset”: Read Psalm 119:17–30 slowly each dayPray for clarity before readingSit with one verse for 5 minutesWrite down one takeawayAct on it Big Takeaway: You don’t need more information—you need clearer vision. Sometimes growth doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from finally seeing what matters.

Stop Drifting. Start Building.

This week, Brad challenges a hard truth: most people don’t have a faith problem—they have a priority problem. Anchored in Psalm 119:1–16, the episode explores the difference between intending to follow God and actually building a life around His Word. Brad unpacks how Scripture repeats words like law, commands, and statutes to emphasize one central idea: a blessed, grounded life is built on alignment with God’s Word—not accidental effort. Using the powerful example of codebreakers at Bletchley Park led by Alan Turing, he illustrates that access to a message isn’t enough—what matters is understanding it and acting on it. Lives were saved because they didn’t just hear the message—they built everything around it. The same is true spiritually. God’s Word isn’t just information—it’s direction, warning, and life. But too often, it gets treated like optional reading instead of daily oxygen. Brad closes with a practical 7-Day Word Build Challenge: read Psalm 119:1–16 each day, memorize one verse, and actively apply it. The goal? Stop drifting and start building a faith that’s rooted, intentional, and lived out daily. Big Takeaway: You don’t drift into strong faith—you build it by anchoring your life in God’s Word.

When Blessings Make You Blind

Success isn’t always the win you think it is. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad unpacks a warning most people overlook—success can slowly pull you away from the very God who got you there. When life is hard, we pray. When life is good, we drift. Walking through Book of Deuteronomy 8:17–18, Brad breaks down how easy it is to shift from “God did this” to “I did this”—and why that mindset can quietly impact your spiritual life. You’ll also hear the story of John D. Rockefeller—a man who had everything the world offers but lost peace along the way—and how it took a breaking point to realign what mattered most. In This Episode:Why success can be more spiritually dangerous than failureHow pride sneaks in when life starts going rightThe subtle shift from dependence on God to dependence on selfWhy gratitude has to be intentional—not accidental This Week’s Challenge:Look back at what God has done in your lifeThank Him specifically (not vaguely)Restart one habit: prayer, scripture, or generosity Key Takeaway:If you forget God in the good seasons, you’ll eventually need Him in the hard ones again. Closing Thought:Your calling isn’t just about where you’re going— it’s about who you remember along the way.

Stacking L’s but Still Standing

Brad gets real right out the gate—no filters, no fluff. This week hits different. It’s about those seasons where life feels like a losing streak… when you’re grinding, showing up, doing the right thing—and still catching L after L. From a vulnerable moment with his son to a powerful look at Abraham Lincoln’s toughest season, Brad reminds us: Just because it feels like you’re losing… doesn’t mean God isn’t building. This episode is for: The one tired of tryingThe one questioning if it’s workingThe one who just needs one win But instead of chasing quick victories, Brad flips the script: What if the real win is that you didn’t quit? With truth from Galatians 6:9 and straight-up real talk, this episode challenges you to stay in it, stay faithful, and trust that what feels like a setback… might actually be setup season. Bottom line: You’re not losing—you’re being built.

When Small Decisions Shape Your Life

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.

Obedience Changes Everything

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: following Jesus doesn’t mean you won’t feel tiredgoing deeper isn’t comfortableand 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.

Sunday Changed Everything

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. If this episode encouraged you, subscribe, follow, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so more people can hear God’s Word every Monday morning. Your calling isn’t just what you do — it’s how you live.
