Seriously friends, I am sure there is some great RevCast content in here but we are all a bit sillier than usual. It was fun for us, we hope listening is fun for you

This week we talk renewal, burnout, cancan dancing, Corinth as the ancient equivalent to Las Vegas, and why pastors forget to rest. The Greek gets spicy. The stories get personal. The laughter keeps breaking through. If you need a lift or a spark, this one delivers.

This week, the crew digs into Jeremiah 17 and Colossians 2 to talk about what it means to be rooted in faith, in love, and in community, when everything feels like exile. Along the way, there are detours into sausage links, Reubens, and the theology of pie. Equal parts laughter and lament, this is The RevCast at its best: honest, nerdy, and full of grace.

Grief, saints, NyQuil, and Monty Python walk into a podcast. What happens next? A surprisingly heartfelt conversation about love, loss, and the messy beauty of faith that endures.

The RevCast crew takes on 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 and the sometimes awkward art of talking about generosity. Pastors Mike, Bree, Jeremy, and a moderately caffeinated Pope Paul unpack the apostle Paul’s “fundraising letter,” laugh about stewardship gone wrong, and reflect on how giving reveals where our hearts and hopes truly rest. From extortion jokes to honest talk about abundance, fear, and faith, this episode explores how generosity shapes both the church and the giver.

The RevCast crew dives into Romans 12:3–8, exploring what it means to use our gifts with purpose and humility. Between caffeine, laughter, and a few unexpected tangents, they talk about community, calling, and finding joy in the work that builds something bigger than ourselves.

What do engagement announcements, cluttered garages, and debates about John’s Christology have in common? Tacos, for one. Join Pastor Mike, Pastor Bri, Jeremy (the self-declared Anti-Pope), and Paul (a.k.a. Reverend Nacho) for a theologically rich—and occasionally ridiculous—episode of the Revcast. Recorded on location at Condado Tacos, this episode explores John 10:22–39, unpacks the challenges of high Christology, wrestles with anti-Semitic readings, and dares to ask: can you judge faith by the fruit it bears… or just by the lawn you haven’t mowed?

In this joyfully unhinged return to The RevCast, Pastor Mike, Pastor Bri, and Cardinal Facetious explore how humor shapes our faith, fuels our preaching, and helps us survive the weight of grief, ministry, and everyday life. From ChatGPT-curmudgeon sermon reviews to naked apostles jumping in lakes, the gang finds God not only in the sacred but in the silly. Along the way, they reflect on John 21, the healing power of laughter after resurrection, and why breakfast on a beach might be the holiest moment of all. Tune in for jokes, theology, and maybe even a Rocky impression you didn’t know you needed.

Pete, Jim, and John walk into a cloud… and suddenly, everything changes. This week on #RevCast, we unpack the wild, overwhelming, and sometimes hilarious nature of the Transfiguration. What does it mean to wake up to God’s presence? Why did Peter want to build vacation rentals for Moses and Elijah? And what does Jesus’ ‘Exodus’ have to do with our own struggles for justice today? Tune in for laughs, deep dives, and maybe even a little magic bread. #HolyHotBox #WakeUpAndListen
