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.

In this episode of the Rev Rx Podcast, I sit down with John Eldredge—counselor, best-selling author of Wild at Heart (over 15 million copies sold), and founder of Wild at Heart Ministries.

John has shaped the way millions of men understand their hearts, their faith, and their walk with God. In his newest book, Experiencing Jesus Really: Finding Refuge, Strength, and Wonder Through Everyday Encounters with God, he tackles the restlessness and distraction of our modern age with a call back to union with Christ.

We cover:

• Why we’ve been conditioned by our cultural moment against intimacy with God.
• The difference between relief (temporary) and restoration (lasting).
• How everyday moments can become places of divine encounter.
• The subtle ways the internet has discipled us into unbelief and distraction.
• The battle between two kingdoms, and why “neutral ground” doesn’t exist.

👉 Listen until the end for a heartfelt prayer John prays over you, inviting you into deeper union with God.

In this milestone 100th episode, I'm joined by Tyler Moore, better known as 'Tidy Dad'. You may remember him from Good Morning America or The Today Show, but in this conversation we talk about why tidying up your life isn't about control - it's about freedom.

We cover how clutter connects to mental workload, why simplicity is a spiritual discipline, and how small daily routines can buy you back your weekends.

Tyler shares his "one room a day" rhythm, his early-morning "first fruits' routine, and how learning your "just enough" definition leads to contentment and peace.

Whether you're looking to organize your environment or tidy up your mind, this is the episode for you! There's truly something for everyone in this joyful conversation about things that matter most.

Parenting screens feels overwhelming—and for good reason. In this conversation, Mandy Majors from Next Talk shares why filters and rules alone won’t keep kids safe—and what actually does.

Mandy Majors knows what it’s like to feel blindsided as a parent. Before her kids even had phones, one question changed everything—and showed her that saying “no tech” isn’t enough in today’s world.

In this episode, we talk about how to parent technology without fear, how to respond when kids are exposed to things too early, and how to build a relationship where your child actually tells you the truth.

• Why filters and monitoring apps can’t catch everything
• The moment Mandy realized “no tech” doesn’t mean “no exposure”
• How to help kids come to you instead of Googling
• What “red flag reporting” is and why it works
• How to respond when your child asks a sexual or uncomfortable question
• Why screens don’t belong in bedrooms (and how to explain it without a fight)
• Teaching technology in steps—like teaching a kid to drive
• What to do if you gave too much access too fast
• Why grace matters just as much as guardrails
• How Deuteronomy 6 shapes healthy parent–child communication

• Protection starts with conversation
• Guardrails without grace lead to secrecy
• Grace without guardrails leads to confusion
• The goal isn’t control—it’s trust

In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Kapic (Covenant College) helps us name a problem most of us feel but don’t know how to diagnose: our exhaustion isn’t mainly a time-management issue—it’s a theological one.

We talk about why American Christianity often baptizes the same productivity values as the culture, why “efficiency” and “output” can quietly become idols, and why a better doctrine of creation changes how we view our bodies, limits, work, rest, and identity.

Bottom line: the goal of the Christian life isn’t becoming superhuman—it’s becoming fully human, the way God designed.

If you’re busy, tired, and feeling like you can never do enough, this conversation will help you live faithfully within your God-given limits and rediscover rest, presence, and grace.

Why do so many Christians struggle to explain what they believe? And why does it matter now more than ever?

In this episode of The Rev Rx Podcast, Chad sits down with Kagan McClain - a bivocational pastor and high school football coach - for an honest conversation about spiritual maturity, Biblical literacy, and the problem with modern discipleship.

Together, they unpack why Christianity is facing increased skepticism, and how believers can become more prepared to defend their faith with gentleness, clarity, and confidence.

This conversation is about building a solid faith that can endure pressure, grow over time, and shape everyday life- not just Sundays.

Most of us think an apology is simple: “I’m sorry.”

But what if that’s exactly why it keeps falling flat?

In this episode of the RevRx Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Thomas, psychologist and co-author with Gary Chapman, to talk about healthy conflict, real apologies, and why avoiding tension quietly wrecks relationships.

We unpack:

• Why conflict isn’t the enemy
• The hidden damage of people-pleasing
• The 5 Apology Languages (and why saying “sorry” isn’t enough)
• How boundaries protect relationships instead of hurting them
• What to say when things feel tense — without blowing things up

If you’ve ever apologized and thought, “Why are they still upset?” — this episode will change how you see conflict forever.

“Conflict can be the turning point that gets you unstuck.”
"A good apology can change your entire life"

In this Season 3 kickoff, Chad sits down with counselor and workshop leader Sam Eldredge (and yes—John Eldredge’s son) for a real conversation about wounds, isolation, and healing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, triggered, numb, or like you’re carrying more than you can name—this episode is for you. Sam breaks down how wounds form, how they show up in everyday life (people-pleasing, perfectionism, coping habits), and why a “whole person” approach matters: body, mind, and spirit.

• Why isolation is a serious threat to our health and joy
• How wounds shape who we become “just to survive”
• The difference between “big T” trauma and everyday wounds
• Why healing isn’t just behavior modification
• A simple “first step” exercise if you feel stuck

• Sam’s story: high school pain, depression, and the long road to integration
• Why “pray it away” is often incomplete (and what to do instead)
• The lie of “I should be fine” and the cost of staying shut down
