The Rev Rx Podcast | Conversations On What Matters Most

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.

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.

For 25 years and 4 months, Darin Kinder served as a U.S. Secret Service agent—protecting five presidents, traveling to over 40 countries, and even riding mountain bikes alongside President George W. Bush. He’s seen history up close, from D-Day’s 75th anniversary in Normandy to the frontlines of the world’s most dangerous assignments. But nothing compared to September 11, 2001.

That morning, Darin was inside 7 World Trade Center when the first plane struck. Minutes later, he was on the street rendering aid to a burn victim when the second plane hit the South Tower. Twice he sprinted for his life as the towers collapsed.

In this gripping and deeply personal episode, Darin shares:
Life as a Secret Service agent
9/11 through his eyes: survival, service, and sacrifice at Ground Zero
The spiritual power of doing the next thing—faith as daily obedience
The danger of tunnel vision in life, career, and family
Why safe and comfortable isn’t our calling—obedience is
The meaning behind his book title: “Bury Me in a Dirty Suit”

This is more than a survival story. It’s a challenge to live on mission, to embrace faith in the fire, and to spend our lives getting our suits dirty for the Kingdom.
