Why do earthquakes happen? Why does cancer exist? Why do hurricanes, pandemics, and natural disasters devastate entire communities? If God is good, why would He allow any of it?

These are some of the hardest questions a person can ask—and for many people, they're the biggest obstacle to faith.

In this episode of The RevRx Podcast, Chad sits down with former neuroscientist and Christian apologist Sharon Dirckx to discuss her book Broken Planet and tackle one of the most challenging topics in Christianity: natural evil.

While many Christians understand how human sin contributes to suffering, what about earthquakes, tsunamis, childhood genetic diseases, and natural disasters that seem completely unrelated to human choices?

Together, Chad and Sharon explore:

• Why natural disasters create such a difficult challenge for faith
• Whether nature itself is broken
• What Genesis and Romans teach about a fallen creation
• How Christianity explains suffering differently than atheism or Eastern religions
• The surprising connection between earthquakes and the death and resurrection of Jesus
• Why humanitarian aid and hospitals have deep Christian roots
• How God meets us in suffering rather than abandoning us to it
• The hope Christians have in a future restored creation

Whether you're wrestling with personal suffering, grieving loss, questioning faith, or simply looking for deeper answers, this conversation offers both intellectual insight and genuine hope.

Because Christianity doesn't ignore suffering—it faces it head on.

In a broken world, there is still hope.

Can a mountain peak, a thunderstorm, a flower, or a star-filled sky tell us something about God?

In this fascinating conversation, Chad sits down with author, speaker, and biopologist Xandra Grieme to explore how nature reveals the character, beauty, and power of God.

Xandra shares her powerful personal story of walking away from faith after witnessing intense suffering, wrestling with questions about God's goodness, and ultimately experiencing a dramatic encounter that brought her back to Christ.

Together, Chad and Xandra discuss:

• What bioapologetics is and why it matters
• Can science and Christianity coexist?
• Why many students struggle with faith in college
• The problem of suffering and where God is in our pain
• Why beauty moves us so deeply
• How nature points us toward the Creator
• The connection between mental health, solitude, and creation
• Why we're naturally drawn to mountains, oceans, forests, and sunsets
• The concept of "Two Books Theology"—Scripture and Creation
• How God uses beauty to draw people to Himself

Whether you're a believer, skeptic, scientist, nature lover, or simply someone searching for meaning, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, look around, and consider what creation might be saying about its Creator.

What do you do when the prayer you've prayed for years seems to go unanswered?

In this moving conversation, I sit down with local educator, coach, husband, and father Joshua Carter to hear the remarkable story of how God transformed years of infertility, disappointment, and waiting into a testimony of hope.

After trying to have children for years, Josh and his wife Hope faced devastating setbacks, failed IVF treatments, and the emotional toll that comes with infertility. Eventually, they turned to adoption and welcomed their son Hatcher into their family.

Years later, after another long season of waiting, they adopted a baby girl named Emalyn.

Then something happened that no doctor—and certainly no one in the Carter family—expected.

This conversation is about faith when God seems silent, trusting God's timing when it doesn't make sense, and discovering that sometimes His plan is bigger and better than the one we would have written ourselves.

If you're walking through unanswered prayers, disappointment, infertility, grief, or a season of waiting, this episode is for you.

Many people assume they must choose between science and faith.

Dr. Leslie Wickman says that's a false choice.

In this fascinating episode of The RevRx Podcast, Chad sits down with aerospace engineer, former astronaut trainee, science educator, and Christian apologist Dr. Leslie Wickman to explore one of today's most important conversations: the relationship between science and belief in God.

Leslie shares her remarkable journey from a small town in Washington State to working on the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station, astronaut training programs, and even the famous Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas.

Along the way, she wrestled with questions many Christians face:

• Can science really explain everything?
• Does studying the universe weaken faith?
• What evidence points toward a Creator?
• Why does Earth seem uniquely designed for life?
• How should Christians think about climate change and stewardship?
• What can the recent Artemis moon mission teach us about humanity and God's creation?
  

Whether you're a science enthusiast, a skeptic, a believer, or simply someone who wonders how faith fits into an increasingly scientific world, this conversation will leave you inspired by both the majesty of creation and the goodness of its Creator.

Chris Singleton was only 18 years old when his mother was tragically killed along with eight others while attending Bible study in what became known as the 2015 Charleston Church Massacre. What followed was not a simple story of moving on, but a long journey of faith, grief, forgiveness, and purpose.

In this gripping episode of The Rev Rx Podcast, Chad sits down with Chris - former professional baseball player, speaker, author, husband, father, and son of the late Rev. Sharonda Coleman Singleton. His message is simple: 'Love Is Stronger Than Hate'.

Chris opens up about the day of the shooting, and shares how God met him in the middle of the trauma - along with how forgiveness became a path forward, leading to his mission and purpose. His goal is to be the opposite of the hatred that took his mother's life.

In this conversation, we discuss grief, racism, faith, empathy, and what it means to truly love people who think, vote, look, and live differently than we do. This is a conversation about the deepest of pain - and how when God meets us there, it gives us the greatest of hope. You don't want to miss this one!

What if your anxiety, your addiction, your broken relationships aren't the real problem? What if they're actually an invitation?

This week, Chad sits down with licensed therapist, researcher, and famed author Jay Stringer for a raw, honest, and deeply practical conversation about desire. You'll learn what it is, where it comes from, and why learning to understand it might be the most important work you ever do.

Jay spent over 15 years researching the patters beneath unwanted behaviors - and what he found will change the way you see yourself. From pornography and eating disorders, to anxiety, disconnection, and unfulfilling marriages... the real issue is almost never what we think it is.

Whether you're a pastor, counselor, or someone just trying to figure out why you keep repeating the same old patterns - this one's for you.

Abdu shares his powerful journey from being a devout Muslim to becoming a follower of Jesus after a nine-year investigation into history, theology, philosophy, and Scripture. He explains why apologetics is not merely about winning arguments, but about answering real people with real questions.
