Reset Your Rest and Muster the Rohirrim (as long as their gear is clean.) (V)
1w ago01:00:07Tap to summarizeWe 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 like the end of the world." Jesus answers by dragging up an old story about David walking into a chapel and demanding bread under a flimsy cover story (his gear was clean, for the record, that part mattered a lot to the priest). Mike, Paul, and Jeremy dig into fear-based legalism, what the Pharisees were actually so afraid of, and why a law meant to set people free can turn into another kind of prison. Bree joins from across the state via iPad, so you get roughly one Inception joke and several rounds of Lord of the Rings trivia none of you asked for. Somewhere in there is an actual answer to what makes a Sabbath practice good instead of just another rule to keep.Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching License code: ACLEIQKGDLNBXD8L

Hotdog Ice Cream and Fire Hose Living
1w ago00:55:21Tap to summarizeUnlikely 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 the Shepherd set your pace instead of running yourself into the ground. Plus: why "don't try to be the shepherd" might be the most countercultural thing you hear all week. New RESET series episode - Hotdog Ice Cream and Fire Hose Living, out now.Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching License code: ACLEIQKGDLNBXD8L
Transcribe →Youth Group Games and Perspective Shifts
Jun 2400:59:33Tap to summarizeJesus 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 letting the crowd pick for him. Mike, Bri, and Paul get into why physically stepping out of the room changes how your brain works, how burnout quietly became a flex instead of a warning light, and the radical idea that rest isn't a reward you earn but a mandate you already have. Also settled, once and for all: yes, sardines is in the Bible. Find your deserted place and press play.Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching License code: ACLEIQKGDLNBXD8L

The Potluck was the Point
Jun 1201:07:36Tap to summarizeThis week on RevCast, special guest Pastor 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 hostile pew. We get into who's at the table, who's missing, and why the most church-like thing in your week might be a fly fishing trip or a room of grown adults making puppets in the back of a coffee shop. Brandan closes his book with an adapted line from actor Lorenz Tate: "Never beg for a seat at the table when you can build your own damn table." Pull up a chair and join us, it's not our table anyway.Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching License code: ACLEIQKGDLNBXD8L

Up, Up, Down, Down (V)
Jun 301:11:21Tap to summarizeBrand 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 before their feet hit the floor. Psalm 5 is basically an ancient guy laying it all out before God at sunrise and then waiting, which is more patience than most of us have before our coffee. The pastors get into snooze buttons, the third cup of coffee that's secretly a prayer, a centering practice that did not survive getting a dog, and whether prayer is a cosmic vending machine or a way to reset the whole day. No cheat code required. Okay, one cheat code. You'll see.🎶 Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching License code: ACLEIQKGDLNBXD8L
