Wrestling with Your Calling with Dr. Conrad

S3 Ep. 19 (Gen. 19+): "The Impact of your Intercession - You can change lives!"

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In Genesis 18, Abraham petitions with God for at least 10 people to be found righteous for God not to destroy Sodom. Unfortunately, 10 were not found.

YET, in Genesis 19, God was faithful to Lot and his family to give them opportunity to leave before the angels destroyed the city.

Abraham was a part of this journey through his prayers. Lot was preserved. Even though it wasn't 10 people, at least one family was preserved.

There is power in intercession.

May the Lord use you to change the lives of others because of your prayers!

S3 Ep. 18 (Gen. 18:22+): "The Power of Intercession - Abraham's 6x Petitioning Model"

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

God welcomed Abraham into a journey of intercession on behalf of Sodom.

Because of the calling of God on Abraham's life, God worked with Abraham based on who Abraham was.

As we walk with God and begin to understand and embrace who we are, He will welcome us into some of His affairs. The affairs may not have anything to do with us, but God trusts us.

Will we be faithful and trustworthy, allowing God to use us to change other people's lives? In Abraham's situation, the Lord responded to all six of Abraham's intercessory pleas.

Abraham knew God's character and petitioned God based on who God is, not based on Abraham's agenda.

May we be a people of intercession, and may the Lord welcome us into the affairs of the earth because he sees us trustworthy.

S3 Ep. 17 (Gen. 18:16+): "God is the Stage Manager; Your Time is Coming to Get on Stage"

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

As you grow in your relationship with the Lord, you will begin to get more exclusive access to God's agenda.

"Many are called, yet few are chosen..."

God calls out to many to participate in the journey that God has prepared, yet there are conditions and character dynamics required to be chosen. There is a place of friendship with God where He will reveal deeper things to those who are chosen.

In Genesis 18:16+, God identifies how He has chosen Abraham...

May we all be faithful to our calling so that we are chosen to go deeper and participate in the things God has for us.

S3 Ep. 16 (Gen. 18:1-15): "God Responds to our Hearts, not just our Lip-Service"

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In Genesis 18, Abraham is hospitable to three angels who come to visit him about his child coming soon. Abraham is living life, and God interrupts; thus, Abraham is responsive. The goal of this walk with the Lord is about being responsive to the Lord and his agenda.

In comparison, others in scripture were simply responsive to the crazy story that God tells. Consider Jesus' mother, Mary, who is an engaged young woman willing to let God use her body to bring forth God's son, Jesus. She was willing and responsive.

Consider another Mary, the sister of Lazarus and Martha, who knew Jesus and had friendship with Him in such a way that made Jesus cry.

There are ways we respond to the Lord that trigger certain responses in Him.

May we live a life that triggers God to respond to us favorably!

S3 Ep. 15 (Gen. 17:15+): "Abraham's Laughter after 24 Years of Waiting"

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 11:00:00 -0400

In Genesis 17, Abraham is reminded of the promise that God has for him now, after 24 years of waiting. He laughs.

Abraham's laughter is probably after processing the reality of the matter:

He has waited now 24 years.
He has another son.
He is still in an impossible situation; he's 99 and his wife is 89 years old.
He has to reinforce his belief in God.

As you listen in, consider that we have a God of Possibilities in the midst of impossibilities.

Abraham is the Father of our Faith because God trained Abraham to learn how to trust God in something that is impossible.

S3 Ep. 14: Your Calling is Connected to Covenants: Abram was Given Circumcision

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 09:00:00 -0400

God is a God of covenants. Covenants regularly require the shedding of blood.

When God gave Abram the covenant of circumcision, he had to cut away certain things in his life in obedience to the Lord.

In your calling, have you cut away the things of the flesh (i.e., sinful nature)?

In your calling, have you had your heart circumcised?

In your calling, have you embraced that Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice for your life, offering a covenantal sacrifice to give you access to God?

S3 Ep. 13: God Calls Us, Gives Us Identity, and Clarifies Our Function

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

God changes Abram's name to Abraham in Genesis 17.

Abram means "Exalted Father," yet Abraham means "Father of Many." This is a critical period of change, purpose, identity, and functionality for Abram.

He was not a "Father of Many" at the time of the change; he had only one child.

Why did God change Abraham's name when he was not a father of many...?

God knows your function and purpose in life.

Is there failure in the Kingdom of God?

May the Lord give you revelation of what it looks like to walk with him during difficult times, and may he show you how He wants to work all things together for your good.

S3 Ep. 8: Your Calling Might Scare You

Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Abram's journey to become the "Father of Our Faith" included several fearful moments. It seems that fulfilling your calling will involve many fearful moments.

Abram had 75 years of comfort; God called him to leave everything.

While traveling to Egypt during a famine, Abram lies about his wife being his sister due to the fear of his life in a new land.

Abram, not knowing what would happen during a war when his nephew gets captured, courageously goes and rescues his nephew but comes back scared.

Abram had to face many insecurities...

We, like Abram, will feel fear on the journey of our calling. We should remember what God says about us, so we can move forward in God's bigger purpose for us.

God may be separating you from certain relationships for a purpose, as you have a unique journey that you must walk alone.

God is a storyteller, and we are yielding our lives as a sacrifice to Him as He tells the story.

S3 Ep. 6: Abram's Response to Circumstances/God is still faithful

Tue, 13 May 2025 14:00:00 -0400

Have you ever had moments when you looked at your circumstances and made decisions, but your judgment was wrong?

Abram did this. Many biblical characters have done this. I have done this. You've probably done this: We've made judgments based on circumstances instead of looking at God's plan.

The solution is to stay with the script of the "Playwriter" (i.e., God's plan). Stay connected to God and hear His heart for what He has for you.

Tune in to hear Dr. Conrad unpack Abram's story of being responsive to his circumstances, but remember that God remains faithful to lead us on the right paths according to His agenda.

Faith always begins with God's word and leading; we are called to be responsive to God's intentions.

At age 75, God calls Abram to go on a journey. He has lived over 50% of his life, and he now has to uproot his past traditions, comforts, familiar world, and possibly former contentments.

He has to trust the God of the universe with His "I will" statements of promise.

Abram has to let go.

Abram has to give up.

Abram has to make a decision.

S3 Ep. 3: Carrying a Baton: From Terah to Abram

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Sometimes, God is trying to pass along a "baton" from one generation to another.

Out of Genesis 11, we see a possible passing on of a "baton" in the story of Terah, the father of Abram, to Abram. How do you continue the story of your family line?

In the scriptures, Abram seems to be in the spotlight of the biblical story, but this does not mean that Abram is the beginning of the story.

I would submit that God continues stories of family lines, which means your life is much bigger than yours. It also means that you are not at the beginning of your story; there are things within your family that God is attempting to release through you.

In simple terms, if Abram continues the story of his father, Terah. I believe you continue to tell the story of your family.

S2 Ep. 22 THE HEART: "God's Word is the Key to the Heart"

The only thing that unlocks the human heart is the word of God.

King David says it clearly in that he hid God's word in his heart so that he would not sin against the Lord (Psalm 119).

S2 Ep. 21 THE HEART: "The Meditation of the Heart"

Fri, 03 May 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Meditating is an active exercise.

Some common perceptions of meditation are a person who is passive, quiet, and recluse. The biblical context, especially when considering the ancient Hebrew word, seems to reference an active murmuring, a defensive and protective stand, repetitive words and actions, along with an aggressive posture to hold on to God's word as a life source.

Peace (Hebrew word: "Shalovm") can be a word of battle.

Because of sin, humans are incomplete and not whole. Peace can restore and bring us to a place of wholeness/completeness. In an ancient Hebrew context, a word picture for Shalovm could refer to "destroying any authorities that cause chaos," thus restoring wholeness.

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0500

The most complex part of humanity is the human heart.

So many things are happening in the heart; sometimes, these things counteract each other. For instance, the intellectual side of our heart may want one thing, but our desires or passions may have a different direction. Our emotional side may feel one thing, but our thoughts may "say" something different.

The Lord wants us to have a whole heart that allows Him to have Lordship over all departments of the heart. He, alone, can align all parts of our part in the same direction. He wants us to worship Him with a whole heart.

All of us have different phases of our story, leading us all to ask: "What does the Lord have for me?"

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Have you considered Solomon's thesis statements at the very beginning of Proverbs?

In our journey, we need wisdom, knowledge, discretion, understanding, prudence, fear of the Lord, instruction, benefits from being righteous, and many other things. The book of Proverbs teaches us a lot more than just wisdom...

Dr. Ashley Tauriac, a pediatric doctor (along with many other identities), helps us see the beauty of how God knows what He is doing in training us in a multi-faceted way. God truly works all things together for His good.
