The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday

Latest Episodes:

102 - Mike Cosper (host/producer of Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast, Christianity Today) Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

Mike Cosper of Christianity Today has recently released a book, Land of My Sojourn: The Landscape of a Faith Lost and Found, which focuses on his painful experience of leaving local church ministry and the grace that restored his faith. The book stems from Mike’s experience with church hurt and his doubts about the goodness of the Church. Through it all, Mike has found a sense of peace and has learned a valuable life lesson–one he is still learning from.
Today, Mike talks about his book, reflects on scriptural testimonies, and answers questions about church culture. He also shares his thoughts on his podcast series that exposes the downfall of a church leader, and where he currently stands on matters of faith and life.

100th Episode Celebration (w/ Geoff Surratt) May 28, 2024

Show notes

Pastor Geoff Surratt, Greg's younger brother, shouldered a great deal of responsibilities during his 20 years as a Seacoast pastor. During this time, he mentored Joey, a very young and inexperienced pastor, who now hosts and produces the podcast. Joey reflects on the lessons he's learned from Geoff and admits he’s still a bit intimidated by him. They share stories of overcoming challenges and Joey also talks to Geoff about working with his brother, his contributions on innovating the multisite approach to church-planting, and his transition to other ministry opportunities after leaving Seacoast.
At the top of the episode, Lynne, Amy, Jack and Joey reflect on the podcast, including some memorable moments, favorite episodes, and the dynamics of podcasting together.

99 - Chip Judd's Stern Words For Adult Children About Boundaries With Parents May 21, 2024

Show notes

[This podcast will also air on Greg Surratt and Chip Judd's The Endurance Factor Podcast]
Pastor Chip Judd is back on the podcast to expand on his April 2024 Seacoast Church message, Boundaries: A Proven Path to Better Relationships and Less Stress. You can watch it here. During that message, he implored people to not take responsibility in areas of life in which authority hasn't been given. He gave clear and emphatic instructions on boundaries for adult children with living parents. But, some of these words caught attention on social media and received many negative comments about his words. In this episode, Chip, alongside Joey, and Pastor Greg Surratt respond to the backlash and clarify the meaning behind his words.

97 - A Candid Discussion on Suicide May 07, 2024

Show notes

[discretion advised as this episode touches on the heavier topic of suicide]
Jack Hoey III, Lynne Stroy, Roy Jacques, and Joey Svendsen have a somber conversation about suicide, reflecting on personal losses at the hands of this tragedy, including the passing of Seacoast pastor, Darrin Patrick in May of 2020. The four also ponder theological implications of suicide and discuss the merits of the "selfish act label" that many people give to one who takes his or her life. Joey also fields questions from the other three about his experience with a mental health crisis in 2019, contemplating suicide some during that time. The four also have an imaginative discussion (thanks to Joey) on the suicide of the apostle, Judas Iscariot.

96 - The Struggle of an Eating Disorder Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

[Here's a list of every past podcast episode, dealing with mental health]
From first grade through college, Seacoast family and staff member, Alexandra Hunt, battled eating disorders. She bravely recounts excessive exercising as a child, binge eating, and forcing herself to throw up in college. Well into adulthood, Alexandra realized that starving herself was not the answer. She is now focused on healing from a lifetime of low self-image and finding freedom in her nutrition and exercise routines.
Although it's not a struggle she considers to be completely in her past, Alexandra shares rich lessons she's acquired over the years including the importance of finding identity as a beloved child of the King and mindfully reshaping her relationship with health, food, and her body. She has learned that when one accepts God's love and takes captive dark thoughts (2 Corinthians 10:5), the lies will be exposed and rendered powerless. She teaches all of us to "boast all the more gladly in our weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest upon us” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
At the top of the episode, Joey, Lynne, Roy and Jack discuss "PC culture" and whether phrases like "you need a therapist" or "I'm so OCD" (said by a person without the disorder) are harmful or innocent.
