The Rev Rx Podcast | Conversations On What Matters Most

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 faithWhether nature itself is brokenWhat Genesis and Romans teach about a fallen creationHow Christianity explains suffering differently than atheism or Eastern religionsThe surprising connection between earthquakes and the death and resurrection of JesusWhy humanitarian aid and hospitals have deep Christian rootsHow God meets us in suffering rather than abandoning us to itThe hope Christians have in a future restored creationWhether 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.CONNECT WITH DR DIRCKX:https://www.dirckx.org/

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 mattersCan science and Christianity coexist?Why many students struggle with faith in collegeThe problem of suffering and where God is in our painWhy beauty moves us so deeplyHow nature points us toward the CreatorThe connection between mental health, solitude, and creationWhy we're naturally drawn to mountains, oceans, forests, and sunsetsThe concept of "Two Books Theology"—Scripture and CreationHow God uses beauty to draw people to HimselfWhether 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 MentionedXandra Grieme's website: https://biopologetics.com40 Answers from Nature bookThe Created Beauty Book Series

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.Connect with Dr. Leslie WickmanVisit: StarryNights.me

This episode, just in time for Holy Week, is about the resurrection of Jesus and why it really matters for Christians. Chad talks with Matthew Mittelberg, a Christian apologist with 'Apologetics Inc', who ​explains that if Jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith would be pointless. However, there is solid and reliable historical evidence that He did. They talk about Bible facts, what early Christians saw, and why other ideas (like “wrong tomb” or “Jesus only fainted”) do not sufficiently explain the reality of the evidence.​ Chad and Matthew also show that Christianity is not “brainless.” God wants us to love Him with our hearts and our minds, and it is okay to ask hard questions about what we believe.​This episode is great if you have doubts, want simple and easy-to-understand reasons to trust the resurrection, or need help explaining your faith to friends. This Easter, be encouraged that what we celebrate as Christians is indeed fact, not fiction.Hit play and let's dive in!To learn more about Matthew's work visit:https://apologetics.org/matthew-mittelberg/https://apologetics.org/Connect with Rev Rx:If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and help us keep having conversations about what really matters.Email any questions or comments to:[email protected] visit us online: www.manalivecoaching.com/podcast

In this episode of the RevRx Podcast, Chad sits down with Jonathan Carone from Healthy Sports Parents to talk about what’s really happening in the hearts of moms and dads on the sidelines. They unpack why otherwise loving, Jesus-following parents can find themselves yelling at refs, riding their kids after games, or quietly tying their identity to a nine-year-old’s stat line.​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.​To find out more about Jonathan's work, visit:Jonathan Carone – Instagram & resources:https://www.instagram.com/jonathan_caroneHealthy Sports Parents Podcast:https://www.instagram.com/healthysportsparents

In this episode, local pastor and Bible teacher Rev. Kagan McClain returns to unpack the rich theology of Genesis and why the Old Testament is essential, not optional, for Christians today. Together we explore creation as God bringing order from chaos, Eden as the first temple, and humanity’s original calling to spread God’s rule across the earth.​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.Hit play and let's dive in!

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.Connect with Dr Kelly Kapic:https://kellykapic.com/Check out 'You're Only Human' hereCheck out 'You Were Never Meant to Do It All' 40-Day Devotional hereConnect with Rev Rx:[email protected]: Chad Potts or Rev RxIG: @chadpottspharmd or @revrxwellnessconsulting

In this episode, Chad “Rev Rx” Potts sits down with bestselling author Charles Martin to talk about the story behind the storyteller: a Huck Finn-style childhood, learning to process life through writing, getting rejected 86 times before a “yes,” and why Charles believes the most important question isn’t “What’s God’s will for my life?”—it’s “Where do You want me to put my foot next?”They also go behind the scenes on The Mountain Between Us film experience, why book-to-movie adaptations change so much, and why Charles now fights to protect the heart of the story.

Isaac Brickner leads the Los Angeles branch of Jews for Jesus, a 50-year-old ministry with a single focus: relentlessly pursuing God’s plan for the salvation of the Jewish people. In this conversation, Isaac recounts his family’s story—from a businessman’s faithful witness in Ukraine generations ago to his own calling at the Western Wall as God whispered, “They don’t know.”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.If you’ve ever wondered how to share Jesus with Jewish friends without being pushy—or how to see the Bible’s big story with fresh eyes—this one will steady your heart and sharpen your witness.Jews for Jesus – Get Involved HereJews for Jesus Classroom (free, self-paced training): HereJews for Jesus Prayer Info HereMan Alive Coaching Here

In this episode of the RevRx Podcast, Chad Potts sits down with Pastor Dean Inserra, lead pastor of City Church in Tallahassee and author of The Unsaved Christian.

He unpacks how rites of passage, family heritage, or generic theism can blind people from their need for Jesus, and points us back to the heart of the gospel: salvation through Christ alone.What you’ll hear in this episode:Why cultural Christianity is widespread in the Bible BeltThe difference between being religious and truly knowing JesusWhy rites of passage (like the sinner’s prayer or baptism) aren’t substitutes for faithHow parents can disciple their kids without rushing them into empty traditionsThe urgency of moving from “checking the Christian box” to real gospel transformation📚 Learn more about Dean Inserra’s book The Unsaved Christian on Amazon.🌐 Connect with Dean on Instagram/X: @deaninserra👉 Subscribe to the RevRx Podcast so you don’t miss future episodes on faith, family, and thriving in every area of life.

Real wealth isn’t “more money”—it’s margin, mission, and the freedom to answer God’s call.Financial planner and author Chad Hufford joins Chad Potts to unpack true wealth: faith, family, fitness, and finance working together. We talk stewardship vs. striving, building margin, practicing gratitude and generosity, and why more money can’t fix poor habits.
