Welcome to Committed Way
I’ve always thought About pages were a little awkward. It feels a bit like standing up in a room full of strangers and saying, “Enough about everything else. Let’s talk about me.”
So instead, let me start with the name.
Why “Committed Way”?
Committed Way comes primarily from a verse that has meant a great deal to me:
“Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” — Psalm 37:5
There’s a similar thought in Proverbs 16:3:
“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”
The word translated commit carries the idea of rolling something onto another. I love that picture. To commit our way to God is to roll it onto Him—to trust Him with it.
Really, that’s the Christian life. We live by faith. We trust God with what we can’t see and try to faithfully walk the road He’s put in front of us.
That’s the idea behind Committed Way.
Why does this place exist?
I love studying and teaching the Bible. One of my favorite things is taking a passage that seems difficult, digging into it, and finding a simple way to explain what it means and how it applies to ordinary life.
That’s what I hope you’ll find here.
Sometimes it will be a short thought from something I read in the Bible that morning. Other times, it may turn into something longer about faith and life. I also post the Bible lessons I teach each week on the Committed Way Podcast.
Different formats. Same goal:
I want to help people know God more and walk closer with Him.
And if something I write or teach makes the Bible come alive enough that you leave here wanting to open your own Bible, I’ll consider that a pretty good day.
A little about me
My name is Brad McClure. I come from a family of pastors—my grandfather, dad, and brother have all served in pastoral ministry. I went to Bible college, earned a graduate degree in ministry, and eventually spent twelve years as a pastor myself before life took a turn I never expected and I stepped away from full-time ministry.
Today, I work as a loan officer at a small community bank in Indiana and teach an adult Sunday School class at my church. I’m also a husband, a dad, and a guy who would probably rather spend a day off fishing with my boys than doing just about anything else.
Life hasn’t always gone the way I thought it would. I’ve had my share of adversity, but God has been good to me through all of it.
Maybe that’s part of why Psalm 37:5 means so much to me.
I’m not writing as someone who has the Christian life figured out. I’m still learning what it means to commit my way to the Lord, trust Him, and follow Him wherever that way leads.
I hope something you find here helps you do the same.
