This week, Brad leans into a feeling a lot of people don’t talk about: doing all the right things… but still feeling stuck.Anchored in Psalm 119:17–30, this episode shifts from last week’s focus on priorities to a deeper issue—distraction and lack of clarity.

Brad highlights the raw honesty of this passage—“open my eyes,” “my soul is weary,” “my soul melts away”—showing that this isn’t surface-level faith, it’s a desperate prayer for something real. The message is clear: when life feels heavy or confusing, don’t pull away from God’s Word—press deeper into it.

Using the comeback story of Howard Schultz, Brad draws a powerful parallel. When Starbucks was drifting, Schultz didn’t push harder—he stopped everything to refocus. He retrained, re-centered, and helped the company “see again.” The same is true spiritually—sometimes the issue isn’t effort, it’s vision.

Psalm 119 calls us to slow down, ask God to open our eyes, and let His Word move from inspiration to direction. Brad challenges listeners to stop speed-reading Scripture and start sitting in it—to be honest about weariness, reject shortcuts, and let truth reshape how they think and live.

The episode wraps with a practical “Open My Eyes 7-Day Reset”:

• Read Psalm 119:17–30 slowly each day
• Pray for clarity before reading
• Sit with one verse for 5 minutes
• Write down one takeaway
• Act on it

Big Takeaway: You don’t need more information—you need clearer vision. Sometimes growth doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from finally seeing what matters.
