The Rev Rx Podcast | Conversations On What Matters Most

Is masculinity really the problem - or has culture gotten it all wrong?

In this episode, Chad sits down with nationally recognized scholar and bestselling author Nancy Pearcey to talk about one of the biggest issues facing men and families in America today. What they find might shock you - the research actually backs up what the Bible has been saying all along!

What we cover:
The two very different narratives every young man is hearing today - and why one of them is winning.
How we got here- and it goes back further than you'd think
Why the 'Homer Simpson Effect' - the bumbling dad stereotype - is hurting our families
What the church can about 40% of kids growing up without a father in the home right now
Simple, real steps a dad can take right now to show up for their kids

In this episode, Chad sits down with author and apologist Abdu Murray, founder of Embrace the Truth. Abdu shares his powerful journey from being a devout Muslim to becoming a follower of Jesus after a nine-year investigation into history, theology, philosophy, and Scripture. He explains why apologetics is not merely about winning arguments, but about answering real people with real questions.

They discuss Islam, Christianity, the credibility of the Bible, the power of Scripture, the cost of conversion, and why identity can only truly be found in Christ. Abdu also shares insights from his work with Embrace the Truth and his books, including Saving Truth, More Than A White Man's Religion, and Fake ID.

What happens when your identity is built solely on performance... and it all starts to slip?

This week, Chad sits down with former MLB pitcher Scott Linebrink - a 12-year big leaguer who knows what it's like to grind, succeed, struggle, and ultimately surrender to God.

From getting cut in high school to pitching in major league baseball... from losing control of his career to finding something better - Scott shares openly how God used setbacks, injuries, and disappointment to reshape his path.

This isn't just a baseball story, it's a story about letting God map out your life, no matter where you find yourself. It's about breaking free from performance-based living and finally trusting God with your life. And it's about living faithfully to God in the midst of the everyday.

In this episode, local pastor Kagan McClain returns to the show for a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood stories in the Bible - the flood in Genesis 6-9.

Most of us learned the story in Sunday School as kids: Noah, the ark, the animals. But there's far more going on beneath the surface.

Together, Chad and Kagan unpack:
Why Genesis is theological history, not just a kids' story
How sin leads to de-creation and chaos
Why Noah isn't the hero of the story - Jesus is
How the flood points to the gospel
The dangerous trap of cultural Christianity
... and more!

This conversation invites you to something deeper than the surface-level faith often taught today... real obedience, real surrender, and real transformation.
