Ferris Bueller & The Gospel Of Rest

Robin Of The Hood

What does Robin Hood have in common with the story of Zacchaeus? More than you'd think. A devotional on Luke 19, going out of your way for the outsider, and why the King coming back changes everything.

If You Build It...

Field of Dreams is one of the most beloved movies in American culture, and Chaplain Dave thinks he knows why. In this graduation-season devotional, Dave looks at the famous dad/catch scene through the lens of Hebrews 11 and offers a word to the parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors of this year's graduates. Most of us won't get the Field of Dreams ending. So what then?

If I Fight, You Fight

Heroes in pop culture don't usually get old. Rocky did. In this episode, Chaplain Dave walks through the scene in Creed where the mentor becomes the one being called back into the fight...and what 1 Peter 5 has to say about humility, wisdom, and the people walking with us.

Don't Dream Its Over

What can an 80s hit from Crowded House teach us about distraction, endurance, and keeping our eyes on Jesus? In this episode of Pop Culture Devotionals, Chaplain Dave Remboldt reflects on “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” connects its warning about walls and distraction to Hebrews 12:1–2, and explores what it means to keep running the race of faith in a world built to keep us checked out. If you’ve felt spiritually scattered, this one will meet you there.

Ferris Bueller & The Gospel Of Rest

What if Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is more than a comedy about skipping school? In this episode of Pop Culture Devotionals, Chaplain Dave Remboldt looks at Ferris’s famous line about life moving fast, the anxiety and control gripping everyone around him, and the biblical truth that rest is not laziness—it’s trust. With Jesus’ words on Sabbath at the center, this devotional is a reminder that in a culture addicted to productivity, stillness can be a holy act of resistance.
