In this episode of This Can’t Be Real, Brad dives headfirst into animal-induced chaos that somehow actually happened. From a man throwing a live alligator through a Wendy’s drive-thru window, to a monkey knocking out power for an entire area, to a nightmare scenario involving a snake in a toilet—this episode proves that animals and bad decisions are a dangerous combination.

With real-time reactions, no script, and the signature “This Can’t Be Real” scale, Brad breaks down each story, questioning how any of this is possible—and why it keeps happening.

Three stories. All real. All completely unhinged. And somehow… it only gets worse.

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.

• Why success can be more spiritually dangerous than failure
• How pride sneaks in when life starts going right
• The subtle shift from dependence on God to dependence on self
• Why gratitude has to be intentional—not accidental

• Look back at what God has done in your life
• Thank Him specifically (not vaguely)
• Restart one habit: prayer, scripture, or generosity

If you forget God in the good seasons, you’ll eventually need Him in the hard ones again.

Your calling isn’t just about where you’re going—

it’s about who you remember along the way.
