The RevCast

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 still shaping how we treat each other today. Plus: Pastor Steve finally comes clean about something, th...

This week on RevCast: Cyndi Lauper, the Woman at the Well, and a theology lesson nobody asked for but everybody needed. New episode out now. 🎙️ #RevCast #TrueColors #WomanAtTheWell

🎸  "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, Bri, Paul, and Jeremy dig into Philippians 3:12-14 and ask the question:  how...

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 what happens when the person nobody sees finally gets noticed. Along the way: camel kisses in Jericho, w...

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 for you.

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 question, what do you do when you go to the tomb looking for answers but only find it full of more quest...

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.

This week on The RevCast, we focus on Luke 23. Jesus forgiveness in the midst of violence. A deathbed confession and still, grace is given. We talk about forgiveness that does not wait for repentance or apology. We look at what it means to live in real community when people bring conflict, history, and differences with them. If forgiveness sits at the center of the gospel, then it has to shape how...

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 in the Passion story: why did the crowd choose Barabbas over Jesus? And what does that choice say abou...

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 Mark’s Gospel ends so awkwardly, and the uncomfortable question hanging over the church today: What if the...

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 “Hosanna”? A conquering king? A political liberator? A priestly fixer? And what happens when the Messiah sh...

Pastors Mike, Bri, Paul, and Jeremy are all United Methodist Pastors serving in and around the Grand Rapids Area of Michigan. They gather each week to dig just a bit deeper into the scripture than they could on their own. Each member of the podcast brings their own perspective and together they try to find more depth in their communal understandings. This week the crew wrestles with Jesus’ most un...

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, friendship, and why faith does not grow by accident. Salt loses its edge when it sits still. Light disap...

In this episode, the RevCast crew talks about friendship, loneliness, and why community matters more than ever. The conversation wanders through Ecclesiastes, The Sandlot, Dogma, and real life ministry, with plenty of laughter along the way. You hear honest reflections on isolation, church as a gathering space, refrigerator friends, and the search for a third dimension beyond work and family. The...

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 moves between scripture, genealogy, ritual, memory, and the strange comfort of telling the same story e...

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,...
