In this encouraging episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe explores the powerful story of Joseph and reminds listeners that some of life's deepest wounds come not from enemies, but from people they trusted most. Looking at Genesis 37, Brad unpacks Joseph's betrayal at the hands of his own brothers and challenges the common assumption that following God should always lead to an easier path.

Using the story of Walt Disney—who was once told he lacked imagination and faced multiple business failures before building one of the world's most influential companies—Brad highlights how setbacks, rejection, and disappointment are often part of a bigger story. He draws a compelling parallel between Disney's early struggles and Joseph's journey from the pit to the palace.

Throughout the episode, Brad encourages listeners to stop viewing difficult seasons as punishment and start seeing them as preparation. He contrasts "pit people," who allow pain to make them bitter, with "purpose people," who trust that God is still working even when life doesn't make sense. The message culminates in Joseph's famous declaration: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good," reminding listeners that God can redeem even the deepest betrayals and use them for a greater purpose.

If you're walking through disappointment, a closed door, or a season that feels unfair, this episode offers hope that the pit isn't the end of the story—it may just be the beginning of what God is preparing you for.

A routine home invasion turns into a full-blown nightmare when Kurt Russell's family crosses paths with the most clingy cop in movie history. After a robbery leaves him feeling vulnerable, Michael Carr welcomes help from Officer Pete Davis, a charismatic police officer who seems determined to protect his family. Unfortunately, Pete's definition of "helping" includes showing up uninvited, sabotaging marriages, planting evidence, committing murder, and generally behaving like a restraining order come to life.

Brad breaks down Unlawful Entry (1992), a tense psychological thriller featuring Kurt Russell, Madeline Stowe, and an absolutely unhinged Ray Liotta performance. Along the way, he wonders whether friendship should ever involve alley beatings, compares Pete Davis to a customer-service wolf, imagines conversations no sane person would ever have, and explains why this movie remains so effective decades later.

It's creepy, frustrating, surprisingly realistic, and proof that sometimes the scariest villain isn't the burglar who breaks into your house—it's the cop who won't leave afterward.

The season finale is finally here, and The Floor Recap crew is pulling out all the stops. Angie, Brad, Nicki, Ashley, and a rotating cast of Season 5 finalists break down every major moment from the final two episodes of The Floor. From Paige's aggressive run and Mark's unforgettable hot streak to Eric's release from "ice jail" and Lauren's championship victory, nothing is off limits.

Along the way, the gang debates golf, prison survival strategies, eco-friendly living, suspicious game mechanics, contestant alliances, and whether anyone actually knows what mulch is. Lauren reveals what it was like keeping her win a secret from her kids, Mark explains the strategy behind his late-season dominance, and Eric finally gets a chance to defend himself after weeks of being roasted by the hosts.

It's part recap, part reunion special, and part therapy session as the crew celebrates another incredible season, shares behind-the-scenes stories you won't hear anywhere else, and crowns the newest champion of The Floor.

This week:

• Lauren joins as the newly crowned Season 5 winner
• Mark breaks down his incredible run through the board
• Eric responds to months of alliance accusations
• The cast debates the controversial Territory Freeze
• Behind-the-scenes secrets from the finalists
• Plenty of laughs, tangents, and chaos along the way

One final floor. One final champion. One very unhinged recap

In this challenging episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe dives into James chapter 2 and asks a question many Christians would rather avoid: If someone looked at your life, would they actually see your faith—or only hear about it?Brad explores the difference between talking about faith and living it, reminding listeners that real faith always produces action. Using James 2:17, he explains that while good works don't save us, genuine faith inevitably leaves evidence behind.

Brad unpacks the danger of “fake faith”—the kind that offers thoughts and prayers but never steps in to help, talks about loving people while ignoring those in need, and knows all the right church language without showing the character of Jesus. With his signature humor and honesty, he challenges listeners to move beyond inspirational posts, worship playlists, and Bible app streaks and start living out what they claim to believe.

The episode features the remarkable true story of Edward Kimball, an ordinary Sunday school teacher whose simple act of obedience led him to share the Gospel with a young shoe store employee named Dwight L. Moody. That one conversation eventually impacted millions of people around the world, proving that faithfulness in small moments can have eternal consequences.

Through practical challenges and pointed questions, Brad encourages listeners to stop asking, “What do I believe?” and start asking, “What am I doing because I believe it?” The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that the greatest sermon many people will preach this week won't be with their words—it will be with their actions.

In this absolutely unhinged episode of Movie Torture, Brad Lowe breaks down the horror-thriller Obsession—a movie that starts as awkward crush energy and somehow spirals into cursed romance, dead cat sandwiches, demon-girlfriend behavior, and supernatural emotional damage.

Brad hilariously walks through the story of Bear Bailey, a painfully awkward guy who uses a creepy magical item called the “One Wish Willow” to make his crush Nikki fall in love with him… which immediately turns into the worst relationship in cinematic history. What follows is escalating chaos involving haunted Build-A-Bear vibes, pee puddles, self-stabbing party games, customer service for cursed objects, and one of the most disturbing lunch scenes ever put on screen.

Throughout the episode, Brad delivers nonstop commentary and savage one-liners, comparing Bear to “the human version of typing and deleting a text for 45 minutes” while repeatedly questioning why horror movie characters keep buying obviously evil magical items. The recap somehow balances gross-out horror, emotional loneliness, absurd comedy, and relationship satire all at once.

By the end, the episode becomes less about a horror movie and more about obsession, loneliness, and what happens when someone tries to force love instead of letting it happen naturally. Brad closes things out by warning listeners to avoid cursed romance driftwood, haunted relationships, and—most importantly—dead cat sandwiches.

On this week's episode of The Floor Recap, Angie, Nicki, and Brad break down the Season 5 semifinals as the race to thaw Eric out of "Ice Jail" officially begins. With randomizers flying, alliances forming, and contestants making questionable decisions, the panel spends nearly as much time investigating Eric's influence over the game as they do recapping the actual episode. 😂

The crew reacts to Lana's unforgettable hardware duel, complete with enough energy to power a small city, and debates whether she learned more from her stepdad or from whatever mysterious substance had her celebrating every answer. Meanwhile, Brad becomes increasingly frustrated watching contestants refuse to use their time boosts, comparing it to leaving an idol in your pocket on Survivor and launching yet another investigation into whether Eric is secretly controlling everyone's decisions.

As the duels continue, Angie dominates the celebrity siblings category from her couch, Nicki flexes her luxury handbag expertise, and the panel somehow spends several minutes discussing Louis Vuitton, Dooney & Bourke, Rob Lowe's acting career, and early-2000s dating shows. Because apparently that's what semifinals week is all about.

The episode also features heated debates over Disney movies, reality TV strategy, old MTV classics, and whether contestants are helping Eric intentionally or simply making terrible decisions. Along the way, the chat fills with familiar faces from The Floor, giving the show its now-traditional "friends hanging out after watching reality TV" vibe.

This week on This Can’t Be Real with Brad, humanity once again proves we are absolutely not ready for adulthood. Brad breaks down the story of a man who trusted his GPS so much that he drove his car straight into a lake while his wife sat there questioning every life decision that led to that moment. Then things get even messier when a wedding reception turns into full-on WrestleMania after an argument escalates into flying cake, screaming relatives, and Uncle Randy apparently wearing buttercream like a crown.

And finally, Brad reacts to a criminal mastermind who successfully broke into a store… only to accidentally lock himself inside and basically turn his robbery into an overnight stay next to the beef jerky aisle.

Along the way, Brad rants about Apple Maps, old-school paper maps, drunk wedding uncles, Scooby-Doo villains, and why technology should never completely replace common sense. In the end, the “most bonkers” award goes to the GPS guy — because trusting a screen over literal water is next-level terrifying.

In this powerful episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe unpacks the meaning of Pentecost and challenges listeners to stop chasing a safe, surface-level faith and start pursuing true surrender to the Holy Spirit. Using Acts 2 as the foundation, Brad paints Pentecost not as a polished church service, but as a loud, messy, supernatural moment that completely transformed ordinary people. He emphasizes that the true miracle of Pentecost wasn’t just wind and fire—it was fearful people becoming bold through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Brad contrasts “battery Christians,” who constantly run on temporary emotional highs, with Spirit-filled believers who stay deeply connected to God daily. Along the way, he shares the incredible true story of Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival, where entire communities were transformed because people became desperate for God’s presence instead of just religious routine.

With humor, honesty, and challenge, Brad pushes listeners to stop trying to fake spiritual fire through hype or appearances and instead make room for real connection with God through surrender, prayer, silence, and expectancy. The episode closes with a reminder that the Holy Spirit wasn’t sent merely to help believers survive spiritually—but to bring dead things back to life.
