    Episode 215: May the Fourth, Mexican Food, and the Mystery of Glorified Bodies

    This week on Chasing the Rabbit, the full pastoral crew is back around the table—Brooks, Jason, Jeremy, Eric, and Adam—with a table full of Italian candy, Coke Museum trauma, lice clinics, Cinco de Mayo plans, and somehow… glorified bodies.  Somewhere between debating whether the inside or outside of Italian candy is better and discussing the best local Mexican food spots, the conversation turns toward Graduate Sunday, the National Day of Prayer, and this week’s message from Luke 24 and John 20 in the 40 Days of Wonder series. The pastors unpack Jesus appearing to His disciples after the resurrection—walking through locked doors (maybe?), asking for food, proving He was physically alive, and giving us a glimpse of what resurrection life will be like for believers. Yes… it gets deep. And weird. And funny. The resurrection of Jesus wasn’t symbolic—it was physical, real, and victorious. And because He lives, believers have the promise of resurrection too. Jesus was the firstfruits—and what happened to Him points to what is coming for us. So whether you’re pondering eternity, planning Taco Tuesday, or just trying to survive a bowl of Italian candy… this episode has something for you. Follow, rate, and share Chasing the Rabbit with someone who needs a little theology and a lot of laughter this week.

    Episode 214: Crullers, Sauces, and Walking the Road to Emmaus

    This week on Chasing the Rabbit, the pastors take a winding road from debating the proper pronunciation of “cruller” (or is it crawler… or wagon wheel?) to discussing favorite barbecue sauces, getting caught in Savannah rainstorms, and surviving long-distance hikes and rucks. Somewhere between grilled chicken, microwaved foil disasters, and sous vide steak experiments, the conversation turns to one of the most powerful resurrection stories in Scripture—the Road to Emmaus. In Luke 24, two discouraged followers walk seven miles away from Jerusalem, confused and heartbroken after the crucifixion of Jesus. What they don’t realize is that Jesus Himself is walking beside them. Why did He choose to reveal Himself this way? Why the long walk before the revelation? And what does it teach us about how God meets us in our own confusion, disappointment, and everyday conversations? The team unpacks the beauty of this resurrection appearance—how despair turns to joy, how Scripture comes alive, and how Jesus often reveals Himself in the ordinary moments of life. Also in this episode: The great cruller vs. crawler debate continuesFavorite barbecue sauces from Georgia, the Carolinas, and beyondRainstorm survival storiesLongest distance everyone has ever walkedWhy Jeremy may never climb into a top bunk againHow Jason almost burned down the church with a microwave Plus, a special reminder about First Steps, a great opportunity for kids and parents to talk about salvation, baptism, and following Jesus. Listen, laugh, and chase a few rabbits with us.

    Episode 213: Bluebirds, Bears, a Wolf, and 40 Days of Wonder

    What really happened after the resurrection? In this episode of Chasing the Rabbit, the guys kick things off with everything from backyard bluebirds to sleep studies (yes… really 😂), before diving into a powerful and thought-provoking conversation on the resurrection of Jesus and the start of our new series, 40 Days of Wonder. We explore the real, physical appearances of Jesus after the resurrection—and why they matter more than most people realize. We also take a look at common alternative theories (like the “wrong tomb” and “swoon” theories) and why they ultimately don’t hold up under scrutiny. This episode is both lighthearted and deeply meaningful—because at the center of it all is the question every person has to answer: What do you believe about Jesus? The resurrection isn’t just a story to believe—it’s a reality that demands a response. New series: 40 Days of WonderResurrection appearances of Jesus (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)1 Corinthians 15 – eyewitness testimonyHistorical and extra-biblical references to Jesus Join us Monday, April 27th at 12PM for our Senior Adult Lunch Bunch—a potluck full of great food and fellowship!

    Episode 212: From the Zoo to the Gospel

    In this episode with all five pastors, the conversation starts with zoo stories, busted golf clubs, and movie debates… and somehow ends up in Acts 17 and how to share the gospel in today’s culture. The guys kick things off with a hilarious recap of a Jacksonville Zoo trip (watch out for Grandma), a deep dive into movies like Lord of the Rings and Madagascar, and even a legendary “Busted Bertha” golf story… before shifting into a powerful conversation about what it means to live out your faith in a world that looks a lot like Athens in Acts 17. Building off Sunday’s message, the discussion centers on how to engage a culture that hasn’t rejected spirituality—but has replaced truth with options. You don’t have to have all the answers—just the courage to speak truth and the heart to care. Plus, don’t miss the reminder about the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, where 100% of gifts go directly to support North American missionaries sharing the gospel across the U.S. and Canada. Bottom Line: We don’t need louder voices—we need faithful ones. In a culture full of confusion, clarity comes through truth spoken in love.

    Episode 210: Eggs, Equinox, and an Empty Tomb

    It’s Easter week, so naturally… we start with rabbits, cheese jokes, and whether anyone still dyes eggs. But somewhere between the banter and the breadcrumbs, we actually chase down something meaningful—what really happened that first Easter, and why it still matters today. From the chaos and confusion of the empty tomb to overlooked details in the Gospel accounts, the guys unpack powerful moments from the resurrection story—like what the disciples must have felt, why the women being first witnesses matters, and how even the smallest details point to the truth of Scripture. Plus, a quick detour into Easter traditions, lunar calendars, and whether Peter lost a foot race on purpose. If you’re new here because it’s Easter… welcome. This is pretty much how it goes. Challenge: Invite someone to join you this Easter—and trust God with the rest.
