  • Running on Empty
    Mar 16 2026

    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.

  • Dig the Well Again
    Mar 9 2026

    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.
