The Rev Rx Podcast | Conversations On What Matters Most

The Rev Rx Podcast is very happy to participate in this 4th edition of Podcasthon! For one week, thousands of podcasts will highlight a charity of their choice. And today, I have the pleasure of welcoming Buddy Club Respite. Welcome to the show!

In this very special episode, Chad welcomes Sarah Robinson: mother of two children with Down Syndrome, special needs advocate, and co-founder of Buddy Club Respite. Buddy Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing respite services for caregivers of special needs children, but also equipping churches with tools and resources to make their facilities and services truly open to anyone!

We discuss the need for disability-friendly church campuses, why there is a lack of special needs resources within most church frameworks, and how Buddy Club Respite is making a difference in these areas. We also talk about Sarah and William's personal journey with their children, including a life-threatening medical scare that turned out as an opportunity for God to work and heal in miraculous ways.

In this episode, local pastor and Bible teacher Rev. Kagan McClain returns to unpack the rich theology of Genesis and why the Old Testament is essential, not optional, for Christians today. Together we explore creation as God bringing order from chaos, Eden as the first temple, and humanity’s original calling to spread God’s rule across the earth.​

We talk about the fall, the “proto‑gospel” in God’s curse on the serpent, and how even death itself is a surprising act of grace that keeps us from being eternally stuck in rebellion. Kagan shows how stories like Cain and Abel point forward to Jesus and how the whole Bible is a story of exile and exodus—God coming into our exile to lead us home.​

You’ll also hear practical encouragement on shame, hiding, and bringing sin into the light, plus what it really means that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us. If you’ve ever stalled out in Genesis or wondered how the Old and New Testaments fit together, this conversation will help you see the first pages of Scripture—and your own calling—in a new way.

Hit play and let's dive in!

This week on The Rev Rx Podcast, Chad Potts sits down with former MLB pitcher Chris Hammond — best remembered for his incredible 2002 season with the Atlanta Braves (0.95 ERA). But as powerful as his baseball story is, Chris shares something even more important: why living your faith from the bullpen isn’t enough.

Chris opens up about losing his love for baseball, walking away from the game, and later making one of the most remarkable comebacks in relief pitching history. More importantly, he shares how his faith once mirrored his bullpen career — always hanging back, comfortable, waiting on the sidelines — until the Holy Spirit got ahold of him.
Now, he’s calling men and women everywhere to stop warming the bench and get in the game with God.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
What it felt like to pitch alongside Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz during the Braves’ glory years.
How losing his passion for baseball gave Chris a new perspective on family and life.
The story behind “Faith from the Bullpen” — and why too many Christians are stuck there.
The role of the Holy Spirit in moving from passive churchgoing to active discipleship.
How the Chris Hammond Youth Foundation is helping kids in underserved areas find opportunity through sports.
