And then there were two
Bri is at a retreat, Jeremy is in the wind, and Mike nearly canceled this episode. Thankfully talking and tacos were a priority for Paul this week. This week kicks off the Enough series with Matthew 6:25-34: consider the lilies, don’t worry about tomorrow, and notice how often scarcity is...

Generals Eat Last
Jesus goes to a dinner party and tells a story about a dinner party. Very meta. Very Luke. The RevCast crew closes out the Show Up series with the parable of the great banquet, just in time for World Communion Sunday. A host sets the table. The A-list sends regrets: new land, five yoke of oxen, a...

Sheep Happens
Matthew has one question on the final exam, and it is not "what do you believe?" Pastor Gregory Kendrick rejoins the RevCast table for a look at Matthew 25 and the sheep and the goats. The panel weighs faith against works, argues over who counts as "the least of these," and takes a Keith Green...

Load Bearing
Galatians 6 hands you a contradiction and dares you to sit with it: bear one another's burdens, then two verses later, carry your own load. Which is it? Mike goes to the Greek to sort out baros from phortion, Paul makes the case that most of us secretly want to be God's cop, and Bri asks the...

Comic Sans and Sensibility
Isaiah walks into the temple and sees God on a throne with six-winged seraphs shouting "holy, holy, holy," and somehow the episode ends with Bri calling Mike a Comic Sans who just wants everybody to like him while he insists he's a Helvetica Nouveau. Paul's on vacation, so Mike, Bri, and Jeremy…

Half-Baked Apostles (v)
Despite being prompted a few times Peter ccan't quite say the the word love, and sort of becomes the whole point. Mike, Bri, Jeremy, and Paul close out the Unlikely series with a look at Peter and the two charcoal fires. Nobody in this one is fully baked. That's kind of the good news. Music from...

Enoch the Last Airbender
Elijah just won the biggest showdown of his prophetic career and immediately went and asked God to let him die under a tree. Relatable, honestly. This week Mike, Bri, Jeremy, and Paul sit with 1 Kings 19 and the moment God shows up, not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire, but in...

This One's for The Byrds
This week in Unlikely: Martha gets stuck doing dishes, Mary gets to sit at Jesus' feet, and Paul can't stop quoting the Byrds about it. Mike, Bri, Jeremy, and Paul dig into what it meant for two women to run a household with no man in charge, why "few things are needed" might be the most useful...

Getting back to Moses (V)
Moses has a résumé problem. Sentenced to death before he was born, wanted for a killing he fled, forty years out of the game babysitting sheep, and by the time the bush lights up he's eighty. So he does the reasonable thing. He argues. Who am I? What's your name? I'm not a good speaker. Fine…

Reset Your Rest and Muster the Rohirrim (as long as their gear is clean.) (V)
We close out the RESET series this week with Mark 2, the story where Jesus and the disciples get caught snacking on raw grain in a field on the Sabbath and the Pharisees lose their minds about it. Turns out the real question is not "did they break the rules" but "why does breaking the rules feel...

Hotdog Ice Cream and Fire Hose Living
Unlikely flavors and a puppy named Mongo - the RevCast crew is back from vacation and somehow still lands on one of the deepest questions we can ask ourselves: are you living off a fire hose or drinking from still water? Mike, Bri, Paul, and Jeremy crack open Psalm 23 and ask what it means to let...

Youth Group Games and Perspective Shifts
Jesus wakes up before everyone, slips off to a deserted place, and basically plays the world's first game of holy hide-and-seek. This week, the RevCast panel resets their space with Mark 1:35-39, the morning Jesus disappeared to pray and came back knowing exactly where to go next, instead of...

The Potluck was the Point (v)
This week on RevCast, special guest Brandan Robertson, author of Queer and Christian, pulls up a chair to help us reset the table. Not the furniture, the one in Acts 2 where the early church ate together, shared everything, and somehow grew without a building, a budget, or a single ergonomically...

Up, Up, Down, Down (V)
Brand new series, brand new intro music (kind of sounds like the musical lovechild of The Haunted Mansion and Austin Powers). This week the pastors start Reset, beginning with the part of the day nobody asked for: the morning. Most people wake up, grab their phones, and start doom-scrolling…

The Staff of Ra, Sister Sledge, and the Secret to World Peace (V)
What do 40,000 exploding disco records, a White Sox forfeit, Cardinal Crabby Pants, and Ephesians 2 have in common? More than you'd think. This week the RevCast crew digs into Sister Sledge's We Are Family and discovers that the same cultural rage that blew a crater in center field in 1979 is…

A Breakup Song and a Braggy Apostle (V)
🎸 "Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road…" 🎸 This week on the RevCast, the Mixtape series continues with Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" - which was always a breakup song, never a graduation song, and somehow ended up playing at every graduation anyway. Pastors Mike,...

Starting with the Man in the Sycamore (V)
This week on the RevCast, the Pastor's Mixtape series continues with Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" paired with the story of Zacchaeus — the short, rich, and wildly unpopular tax collector who climbed a tree and got way more than a glimpse of Jesus. Pastors Mike, Jeremy, and Bri dig into...

Pastor’s Mixtape: Existential Crisis Edition
This one starts with ice cream, questionable parenting decisions, and bathroom jokes. It ends with Romans 7, existential frustration, and the realization that even the Apostle Paul had no idea what he was doing half the time. If you’ve ever tried to be better and failed by dinner, this episode is...

Jesus is Not Where We Left Him (V)
It is Holy Week, so naturally the RevCast goes straight from dance moves to docetism. This episode wrestles with resurrection, mystery, Mary Magdalene, and why John’s Easter story gives you more to sit with than tidy answers. There is bad theology, spooky wind, folded grave clothes, and one big...

The Original Found Family (A)
At the cross, Jesus does more than speak his last words. He creates a new family. This episode explores John 19, Michigan Advocacy Day, and why belonging still sits at the center of faith.

Beeps, Barabbas, and Bad Theology
Hi Friends, if you want to skip the banter and get right to the Bible stuff, jump ahead to about the 16-minute mark. A broken toilet seat, AI transcripts, and a five-second bleep delay. Just another day on RevCast. But beneath the chaos, the crew wrestles with one of the most unsettling questions...

The Bleep Episode
False witnesses. A midnight trial. And Jesus finally says the one thing everyone was waiting for. In Mark’s Passion story, silence suddenly turns into the boldest statement Jesus ever makes: “I am.” This week the RevCast crew wanders through bad courtroom procedure, the messianic secret, why…

Messianic Mumpsimus
Why are we talking Palm Sunday so early in Lent? Because the Passion story doesn’t wait politely for Holy Week, and neither do our expectations. In this episode, the crew dives into John 12:12-19 and the triumphal entry from a different angle. What were the crowds expecting when they shouted...

Salty on Purpose
What does it mean to be salt and light right now? Not as a slogan. Not as a church t-shirt. But as a lived faith with intention. In this episode, the RevCast crew digs into Matthew 5:13-20 and asks hard questions about purpose, righteousness, and visibility. They talk about loneliness, therapy,...

A Christmas Episode, in the same way that Die Hard is a Christmas Movie
This RevCast Christmas episode starts where all good holiday debates start. Die Hard counts as a Christmas movie. From there, five pastors turn to Luke 1:26–38 and Mary’s response to God, exploring consent, agency, and the courage it takes to say yes when life turns upside down. The conversation...
