About this episode

The episode explores the themes of nostalgia and personal growth through the lens of Green Day's breakup song and biblical teachings.

🎸 "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 much of your past informs you, and how much of it confines you? Along the way: adult prom drama, uninvited wives, Jay Gatsby's tragic flaw, and what nostalgia actually means. The past can be a source of strength or a prison. Paul says press on. Billy Joe Armstrong says good riddance. The RevCast says both, with significantly more chaos. 🎧 New episode out now. Like, subscribe, and let go of something.
