The Rev Rx Podcast | Conversations On What Matters Most

In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Kapic (Covenant College) helps us name a problem most of us feel but don’t know how to diagnose: our exhaustion isn’t mainly a time-management issue—it’s a theological one.

We talk about why American Christianity often baptizes the same productivity values as the culture, why “efficiency” and “output” can quietly become idols, and why a better doctrine of creation changes how we view our bodies, limits, work, rest, and identity.

Bottom line: the goal of the Christian life isn’t becoming superhuman—it’s becoming fully human, the way God designed.

If you’re busy, tired, and feeling like you can never do enough, this conversation will help you live faithfully within your God-given limits and rediscover rest, presence, and grace.

Why do so many Christians struggle to explain what they believe? And why does it matter now more than ever?

In this episode of The Rev Rx Podcast, Chad sits down with Kagan McClain - a bivocational pastor and high school football coach - for an honest conversation about spiritual maturity, Biblical literacy, and the problem with modern discipleship.

Together, they unpack why Christianity is facing increased skepticism, and how believers can become more prepared to defend their faith with gentleness, clarity, and confidence.

This conversation is about building a solid faith that can endure pressure, grow over time, and shape everyday life- not just Sundays.

Most of us think an apology is simple: “I’m sorry.”
But what if that’s exactly why it keeps falling flat?

In this episode of the RevRx Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Thomas, psychologist and co-author with Gary Chapman, to talk about healthy conflict, real apologies, and why avoiding tension quietly wrecks relationships.

We unpack:
Why conflict isn’t the enemy
The hidden damage of people-pleasing
The 5 Apology Languages (and why saying “sorry” isn’t enough)
How boundaries protect relationships instead of hurting them
What to say when things feel tense — without blowing things up

If you’ve ever apologized and thought, “Why are they still upset?” — this episode will change how you see conflict forever.

Key Quotes
“Conflict can be the turning point that gets you unstuck.”
"A good apology can change your entire life"

In this Season 3 kickoff, Chad sits down with counselor and workshop leader Sam Eldredge (and yes—John Eldredge’s son) for a real conversation about wounds, isolation, and healing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, triggered, numb, or like you’re carrying more than you can name—this episode is for you. Sam breaks down how wounds form, how they show up in everyday life (people-pleasing, perfectionism, coping habits), and why a “whole person” approach matters: body, mind, and spirit.
What you’ll learn
Why isolation is a serious threat to our health and joy
How wounds shape who we become “just to survive”
The difference between “big T” trauma and everyday wounds
Why healing isn’t just behavior modification
A simple “first step” exercise if you feel stuck
Key moments / highlights (bullets)
Sam’s story: high school pain, depression, and the long road to integration
Why “pray it away” is often incomplete (and what to do instead)
The lie of “I should be fine” and the cost of staying shut down

It’s the Season 2 finale and the last RevRx episode of 2025—and we’re ending with a conversation every family needs.

Author and podcaster Jamie Erickson (Homeschool Bravely, Holy Hygge, Overwhelmed Mom) joins me to talk about the real weight parents carry: the mental load, unrealistic expectations, tech overload, and the pressure to do it all.

Jamie shares practical ways to find peace in the chaos—like her “china plates vs paper plates” framework, why writing things down actually calms the brain, and why she says to “analog your life” when overwhelm is peaking.

If your home has felt heavy, rushed, or stretched thin… this one is for you.
