About ARAD Productions

A pastor and a doctor, writing for real life.

ARAD Productions is the ministry of Rev. J. Brad Puckett and Dr. Amy Cravey, DNP, APRN, FNP-C. We write books, devotionals, and courses for people walking through the hard seasons — and for the people who love them.

Why we do this

Between the two of us, we have sat across from a lot of hurting people — in the church, in the counseling room, and in the exam room. Over and over we saw the same thing: people carrying anxiety, burnout, grief, and change without honest, biblical help they could actually use.

So we started writing it. Every ARAD resource pairs the truth of Scripture with practical, real-world wisdom — the pastoral and the clinical side by side — so you come away with more than encouragement. You come away with a next step.

Rev. J. Brad Puckett

Pastor · Christian Counselor · Co-founder

Brad served in pastoral ministry for about ten years, leading a growing church — and then, by his own telling, began leaning on his own strength instead of God’s. He stepped away from ministry for years. He writes openly about that season, and about the long road back.

Today he is a Christian counselor and author, and he is returning to ministry with a heart for the people who are where he once was. He holds a bachelor’s degree in education and a certificate in Christian counseling.

Dr. Amy Cravey, DNP, APRN, FNP-C

Dr. Amy is a Doctor of Nursing Practice, board-certified family nurse practitioner, and certified Christian counselor. She owns Heart of Georgia Primary Care and has spent decades caring for patients.
