Chasing the Rabbit

From candy criticism to colonial linguistics, the guys go full rabbit hole before anyone has even introduced themselves—and honestly, that’s peak Chasing the Rabbit!

Along the way, they settle absolutely nothing about the proper pronunciation of “syrup,” explore Southern accents, and discover why an Outer Banks dialect might be some of the most authentic English around.

Then the conversation turns toward Revelation 21–22 and the conclusion of the Snapshots series. Is heaven God’s evacuation plan—or the completion of everything He has been redeeming? The guys talk about the garden lost, the world made new, and the Book that matters. It’s an episode that starts with candy and accents, wanders toward eternity, and somehow brings the whole rabbit trail home.

All five pastors are back around the table—and the rabbit trails begin almost immediately. From a surprisingly large rabbit-fur rug and favorite coffee mugs to fast-food failures and questionable restaurant decisions, the conversation covers plenty of ground before turning toward something much deeper.

Continuing through the Snapshots series, the guys revisit Luke 15 and the story commonly known as the Prodigal Son. But this story is really about two lost sons: one separated from the father through rebellion, and the other through religion.

Together, they explore the danger of an older-brother mindset, why repentance requires more than simply recognizing our circumstances, and what it truly means to come home to God. Along the way, they remind us that the younger son sought mercy but received grace—and that repentance begins when we stop blaming the far country and start walking toward the Father.

Pull up a chair, grab your favorite coffee mug, and come chase a few rabbits with us.

What do an Appalachian Trail app, a Boom Boom nasal stick, homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream, and Goober Grape have in common? Somehow, they all lead to a conversation about the death and resurrection of Jesus—which sounds about right for Chasing the Rabbit.

With Jeremy away on jury duty, Brooks, Jason, Eric, and a nearly voiceless Adam discuss trail names, homemade ice cream, back-to-school routines, Savannah Arts Academy’s Senior Walk, and the sixth graders moving into “big church.” They also settle the important theological question of whether saved people premix their peanut butter and jelly.

Then the conversation turns to Jesus’ death and resurrection and the remarkable ways the whole story of Scripture comes together at the cross. The guys explore the Four Cups of Passover, the sour wine offered to Jesus on hyssop, Psalm 22, the necessity of the resurrection, and how the story of Ruth and the kinsman-redeemer points us directly to Jesus.

They also celebrate a growing ministry at Summer Breeze assisted living and preview the upcoming Summer Throwback Night of Worship—complete with throwback songs, prayer for the new school year, and homemade ice cream because, apparently, the deacons made a decision.

Come for the mint chip. Stay for the Goober Grape theology.

With Brooks away on vacation, Adam takes over the host’s chair—and Jason and Eric join him for an episode filled with ministry updates, meaningful reflections, and some wonderfully strange rabbit trails.

The guys celebrate students returning from MFuge, where an unexpected change of plans led to blessing bags, neighborhood prayer walks, and two courageous student testimonies. Then they explore the beautiful story of Ruth and Boaz, discovering how the kinsman redeemer points directly toward Jesus and reminds us that God is weaving together a story far greater than anything we can see in the moment.

Along the way, Adam’s security camera mistakes a dog for two wild turkeys, reports a fully clothed man watering the lawn, and eventually claims someone is vacuuming the grass. Plus, the guys make an important biblical discovery: He-Man really is in the Bible—they were just missing the dash.

It’s an episode about unexpected plans, unlikely people, God’s redeeming work…and artificial intelligence that still cannot identify a turkey.

In this episode of Chasing the Rabbit, Pastors Brooks, Jason, and Adam kick things off with an unexpected rabbit trail into homemade ice cream, favorite summer flavors, and the merits of the Ninja CREAMi before turning to one of the biggest questions in Scripture: Why did God give the Law if no one could keep it?

Following Sunday’s Snapshots message on the Law and the sacrificial system, the conversation explores:

• Why the Law was never meant to save us.
• How sacrifices pointed forward to Jesus.
• The difference between legalism and true obedience.
• Why grace doesn’t eliminate God’s call to holiness.
• How Hebrews beautifully connects Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice to our worship today.

Whether you’ve struggled to understand the Old Testament or wondered how it connects to the gospel, this episode helps reveal the bigger story: the Law exposes our need, and Jesus provides the rescue.

Plus… you’ll probably leave craving homemade ice cream.

What do Fourth of July cookouts, broken toes, Southern food, homemade ice cream, and the Passover have in common?

On this episode of Chasing the Rabbit, apparently… quite a bit.

The pastors kick things off by swapping holiday stories, debating the essentials of true Southern cuisine, laughing over Adam’s less-than-heroic broken toe, and somehow ending up talking about homemade ice cream. Then the conversation takes a meaningful turn as they unpack one of the most powerful stories in Scripture: the Passover.

Why did God require a spotless lamb? Why did the Israelites have to stay inside their homes until morning? How does the Passover point directly to Jesus? And what does it mean that “how they handled the lamb decided their rescue”?

Join Brooks, Adam, Jeremy, and Eric as they chase a few rabbits while discovering how God’s rescue story in Exodus ultimately leads us to the cross.

In this episode:

• Fourth of July traditions and Southern food favorites
• Adam’s unforgettable “old man” shower-head injury
• Why the Passover is one of the Bible’s greatest pictures of Jesus
• The significance of the blood on the doorposts
• Lessons from the Red Sea crossing
• Why we so easily forget the God who rescued us

Sometimes the best conversations begin with a rabbit trail… and end at the feet of Jesus.

This week on Chasing the Rabbit, all five pastors are finally back around the table together—and the rabbit trails start immediately! From giant “big dumb cups,” Buc-ee’s bathrooms, yellow watermelons, vacation mishaps, and Jeremy’s unforgettable hot tub injury to Adam’s accidental Walmart trip in his daughter’s running shorts, this episode has no shortage of laughs.

But underneath the humor is a rich conversation about one of the Bible’s most fascinating stories: The Tower of Babel. The team explores humanity’s desire to make a name for ourselves, God’s purpose in scattering the nations, and the beautiful way the gospel reverses Babel through Pentecost and ultimately points toward every tribe, tongue, and nation worshiping together in Revelation.

Join us as we chase a few rabbits, share a lot of laughs, and discover how God’s story has always been about bringing people back to Himself.

Father’s Day has come and gone, but the stories are just getting started! This week the guys recap a busy weekend that included weddings, family celebrations, student camp adventures at Berry College, and a mysterious package that finally arrived… a year and a half late.

Along the way, they reflect on the impact of fathers, the joy of serving others, and some memorable moments from FUGE Student Camp before diving back into the Snapshots series. The conversation explores Genesis 3, the Fall, Satan’s deception, humanity’s blame-shifting tendencies, and how the Bible’s story—from Eden to Revelation—fits together in remarkable ways.

Plus: rooftop tents, Nespresso machines, collard greens, throwback worship songs, and a discussion about why the gospel offers a better story than anything the world can manufacture.

Grab a cup of coffee and join the chase.

This week on Chasing the Rabbit, we’re taking a trip back to where it all began.

With several of our pastors away this week, we’re re-releasing one of our favorite episodes from the early days of the podcast—our very first Father’s Day special, originally released on June 14, 2022.

In this heartfelt and often hilarious conversation, we share some of our best dad jokes, welcome our special guest judge Wyatt Sandquist, and reflect on the fathers who helped shape our lives. Along the way, we discuss memorable stories, lessons learned from our dads, and the impact of fatherhood through the lens of Scripture.

Whether you’re celebrating Father’s Day with gratitude, remembering a father who has gone before you, or simply enjoying the laughter and wisdom that dads bring into our lives, we hope this episode encourages you.

Join us as we revisit a meaningful conversation about fathers, faith, family, and the lasting influence of godly men.

Originally released June 14, 2022 as Episode #19. Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Chasing the Rabbit!

Sometimes we spend so much time waiting for the next big opportunity that we overlook the small responsibilities God has already placed in front of us.

In today’s episode, Pastor Adam explores Jesus’ teaching in Luke 16:10 and reminds us that faithfulness isn’t measured by the size of the assignment but by the condition of our hearts. God sees every act of obedience, every quiet moment of service, and every faithful step we take.

Today’s Scripture:
Luke 16:10

Stay salty, stay faithful, and season your day with Scripture.
