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 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.

In this emotional and deeply personal episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe explores the tension between temporary satisfaction and eternal hope, reminding listeners that this world was never meant to fully fulfill the human soul. Using Philippians 3:20 and Revelation’s promise of heaven, Brad challenges the constant chase for more money, comfort, success, and approval that still somehow leaves people feeling empty.

Brad shares heartfelt memories of his grandmother, who became a mother figure to him after the loss of his mom. He reflects on singing Amazing Grace together, learning about faith through her example, and the overwhelming realization that she would be 117 years old today if she were still alive. That personal story leads into a powerful reminder that, for believers, death is not the end—it’s temporary separation and ultimately the doorway home to Jesus.

The episode also highlights a famous quote from Billy Graham about being “more alive” after death, using it to paint a picture of heaven-minded faith that stays anchored even when life feels overwhelming. Brad contrasts people who build their identity around temporary things with those whose hope is rooted in eternity, encouraging listeners to stop obsessing over what fades and start investing in what lasts forever.
