In this episode of Overwhelm to Overcomer, Anna McLaughlin welcomes Chad Potts—licensed pharmacist, ordained minister, men’s coach, and host of the RevRx podcast—to explore the intersection of biblical masculinity and marriage. Chad shares his journey from student loan debt to pastoral ministry, revealing how God uses both physical and spiritual health to help men thrive.
Together, they discuss the challenges of masculinity in today’s world, the unique emotional needs of men and women in marriage, and the biblical foundations of loving and respecting each other. From “unclosed loops” in communication to the power of male self-care, this conversation is packed with practical insights and scriptural wisdom to help couples embrace God’s design for their marriage.
