What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances—but the story you've been believing about yourself?

This week on the RevRx Podcast, Chad sits down with former University of Georgia All-American linebacker, NFL veteran, keynote speaker, executive coach, and author Rennie Curran for a conversation about identity, purpose, resilience, and reaching your God-given potential.

Rennie's story is far bigger than football.

Raised by Liberian immigrant parents who modeled faith, sacrifice, and generosity, Rennie overcame doubts about his size, excelled at the highest levels of college football, played professionally, and eventually discovered that football was simply the platform God used to prepare him for a greater calling.

Together, Chad and Rennie discuss how childhood experiences shape identity, why so many people settle for less than they're capable of, and the daily habits that help leaders thrive in every area of life.

Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, discouraged in your faith, struggling with confidence, or simply wondering if there's more for your life, this episode will encourage you to take the next step toward becoming the person God created you to be.

In This Episode

• Why identity matters more than achievement
• How Rennie's parents shaped his faith and work ethic
• Overcoming limiting beliefs and self-doubt
• What football taught him about leadership
• Why high performance isn't enough
• Living with purpose instead of simply chasing success
• The importance of faith, family, health, and relationships
• Practical habits that create lasting growth
• How to stop surviving and start living intentionally

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.

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.

Resources Mentioned

• Xandra Grieme's website: https://biopologetics.com
• 40 Answers from Nature book
• The Created Beauty Book Series

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.

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.

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!

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.

This week, Chad sits down with former MLB pitcher Scott Linebrink - a 12-year big leaguer who knows what it's like to grind, succeed, struggle, and ultimately surrender to God.

From getting cut in high school to pitching in major league baseball... from losing control of his career to finding something better - Scott shares openly how God used setbacks, injuries, and disappointment to reshape his path.

This isn't just a baseball story, it's a story about letting God map out your life, no matter where you find yourself. It's about breaking free from performance-based living and finally trusting God with your life. And it's about living faithfully to God in the midst of the everyday.

Jonathan shares the story that launched Healthy Sports Parents in early 2025, after watching a dad berate his eight- or nine-year-old daughter after a soccer game and recognizing how easily he could become that same dad.

Chad and Jonathan wrestle honestly with sports idolatry, the pressure coaches feel for their own kids to perform, and why youth sports tend to expose our deepest insecurities rather than create them. Instead of piling on shame, he offers a compassionate path forward: grow your self-awareness, do the inner work, and remember there is “grace upon grace” as you stumble toward a healthier way of showing up for your kids.​

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.

Parenting is one of the most sanctifying experiences in life, but it doesn’t come with a manual—so how do we raise kids who thrive in faith, family, and character?

Dr. Huerta unpacks several traits of effective parenting from his book, shares wisdom on adaptability, intentionality, and boundaries, and gives real-life examples to help parents navigate the ever-changing challenges of raising kids in today’s culture. If you want to parent with confidence and raise kingdom contributors instead of just consumers, this episode is for you!

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

In this episode, we cover:

• 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

Key takeaways:

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

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.

• 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.

Chad also shares the near-death experience that changed his life, why discipline beats motivation, and how to aim your money at God’s purpose so you can live with freedom and impact.

• Abundance vs. more: Money is a tool, not the target. Aim it at God’s purpose.

• Four pillars: Faith, family, fitness, finance—build them together, not in silos.

• Margin matters: Leave the edges of your field (Leviticus 19) in time, budget, and energy.

• Gratitude & generosity: Treat both as daily practices, not feelings.

• Discipline > motivation: Do the right things consistently, even when you don’t feel like it.

• Stop doubling down: You can’t fix poor stewardship with more income.

• True wealth: Freedom from debt and dependence on a paycheck so you can say yes to God’s call.

We unpack identity tension (being Jewish and following Jesus), why the New Testament is deeply Jewish, what “the remnant” means (Romans 9–11), and how the biblical feasts point to Jesus—past and future. We also talk about how Christians can wisely love Jewish neighbors amid rising antisemitism, why “leave them alone” isn’t love, and why the best way to “support Israel” is to bring the hope of the gospel to Israelis and Palestinians alike.

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—like an Uber ride or walking into your home after work—can become places of divine encounter.

• The subtle ways the internet has discipled us into unbelief and distraction.

• Psalm 91, Psalm 23, and John 15—what they really mean for daily life.

• The practice of the One Minute Pause and why “benevolent detachment” may save your soul.

• The battle between two kingdoms, and why “neutral ground” doesn’t exist.

This isn’t just another conversation about spiritual disciplines. It’s a roadmap to real union with Christ—and the restoration your soul was created for.

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

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 years, Logan did just about everything in his power to destroy his marriage and his life. Logan was a raging sex addict. Porn, affairs, hiring prostitutes, and more had simply become a way of life for Logan. He thought he had no hope. In 2016, God began to change all that.

*** ADDITIONAL EPISODE NOTE ***

If you or a loved one are struggling with suicide, you can get 24/7 help at the 988 Hotline by calling or texting '988'. Also feel free to reach out to Chad or Eric. The struggle is real, and you aren't alone. You are loved!

Dr. Kelly has been highlighted on major networks such as HBO, A&E, ABC, NBC, Fox News, and CNN - as well as making a guest appearance on The Doctors show. His recovery business has a 97% success rate, and he credits this to the emphasis placed on the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction, rather than just focusing on the substance itself.

Dr. Kelly also leaves his personal cell phone number for anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts: 214-600-0210. If you text him at this number, he'll arrange a free 15 minute call to help you where you are. Dr. Kelly is truly a gift to mankind, and you're going to love his heart and attitude as you get to know him in this episode. Be sure to visit www.therobbkellyfoundation.org!
