The Rev Rx Podcast | Conversations On What Matters Most

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.

In this episode of The Rev Rx Podcast, Chad sits down with S. Michael Craven from the Colson Center to tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in modern Christianity: Christian Nationalism vs. the Kingdom of God.

This conversation goes deeper than politics.

It's about:
-Why many Christians feel stuck or ineffective in today's culture
- How we've reduced the gospel to something smaller than it was meant to be.
- What it actually looks like to live out your faith in everyday life
- Why you can't legislate holiness - and what actually transforms people
- and much more!

Michael unpacks the idea of 'public theology' - a faith that isn't just personal, but lived out in every aspect of life. If you've ever wondered if you're actually living out your faith, or just believing the right things- this one will challenge and equip you.

Let's dive in!

This episode, just in time for Holy Week, is about the resurrection of Jesus and why it really matters for Christians. Chad talks with Matthew Mittelberg, a Christian apologist with 'Apologetics Inc', who ​explains that if Jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith would be pointless. However, there is solid and reliable historical evidence that He did.

They talk about Bible facts, what early Christians saw, and why other ideas (like “wrong tomb” or “Jesus only fainted”) do not sufficiently explain the reality of the evidence.​ Chad and Matthew also show that Christianity is not “brainless.” God wants us to love Him with our hearts and our minds, and it is okay to ask hard questions about what we believe.​

This episode is great if you have doubts, want simple and easy-to-understand reasons to trust the resurrection, or need help explaining your faith to friends. This Easter, be encouraged that what we celebrate as Christians is indeed fact, not fiction.

Hit play and let's dive in!
