[Happy Summer and hope you enjoy our 9-part summer series, Seacoast Podcast's "In the Summer."  For the next 9 weeks, we'll do deeper dives on very particular subject area that in many cases are very unique subject area for this podcast.  As the summer brings a unique season of hopefully relaxation and peace to your life, we're delivering to you some unique content]

After Joey almost walked his dog up to a giant alligator, he wonders what would have happened if a kind lady hadn’t warned him of the danger. So, on this week’s episode, Joey asks Joseph and Cody, avid studiers, collectors, and admirers of reptiles, about the dog walk that could have gone awry. The two also answer Joey's numerous questions about reptiles. 

Also on this episode, the three explore the “people type” of those who can’t get enough reptile interaction and in many cases, not enough reptiles. Joseph and Cody are two of these people. They educate listeners on venomous snakes, snake behavior, snakes local to South Carolina and Florida, and argue that gators are actually snuggly teddy bears if you treat them right. 


Topics addressed today:  snakes, gators, snake-bites, "reptile-addiction," reptiles in the suburbs.   

Next week's episode 8:  video games, video game history, video game beauty, video game as an adult hobby, and video game potential perils.

151 - Tomorrow Needs You (w/ Pastor Naeem Fazal)27 May 202501:07:23

Pastor Naeem Fazal, Lead Pastor at Mosaic Church and author of his second book, Tomorrow Needs You, joins hosts Roy Jacques, Abbie Love, and Joey Svendsen to talk about the book and a little about his time as a former pastor at Seacoast Church.  

In Tomorrow Needs You, Naeem accounts for his own pain, as well as the pain he has seen others walk through recently—some from senseless tragedy. Naeem empathizes with anyone who doubts whether the world is better tomorrow and encourages us all with the truth—tomorrow needs each one of us. Naeem reminds us to slow down and recognize the beauty in humanity and that we all have a purpose. 

With deep conversation and lots of laughs, the four discuss being free from fear, if safety is something God promises, how treating God as a transactional "genie" leads to religion, and what's at stake if God doesn't redeem all things.

148 - Do You Understand the Heart of a Caregiver?06 May 202501:02:36

The true meaning of a caregiver is often lost; and the heaviness that weighs on a person in that role is even less known. On this episode, we’ll talk with Mary Tutterow, a fellow Seacoaster and founder of "The Heart of a Caregiver" ministry. Mary and her husband serve as caregivers for their daughter—and will continue to for the rest of their lives. Mary shares their story that birthed a ministry that now reaches families around the world. It's a story of learning the meaning of life and living the Gospel—a calling for all of us.

Through Mary’s own experiences, she helped Seacoast Church become aware of the needs of these families and helped launch the Won by One ministry, a safe place for children with special needs to learn about the love of God.

At the top of the episode, with Mother's Day 2025 this week, the three hosts "on duty" pay tribute to their own moms.

147 - A Jesus Shaped Life (w/ Dr. Lisa Harper)29 Apr 202501:05:49

[Dr. Lisa Harper is speaking at the Chosen Women’s Conference at Seacoast Church in September 2025. Click this link to purchase an online pass, which includes livestream access to all sessions and exclusive content for online pass holders]

On this episode, speaker, author, and theologian scholar, Dr. Lisa Harper, joins hosts Lynne Stroy and Joey Svendsen to talk about her new book, A Jesus-Shaped Life: How Diving Deeper into Theology Can Transform Us and Our World with the Radical Kindness of God. In her book, Lisa shares personal stories, with a fair share of humor, to reveal how the Holy Spirit has shown her that following Jesus should cause her to become more like him. Its pages theologically support this revelation and explain why studying the Scriptures should make us all more like Jesus. 

Along the way, Lisa shares fascinating, and perhaps surprising context behind the terminology "Word of God," why it's important to remember that the Bible isn't part of the Trinity, and what believers miss out on by not maintaining a truly restful posture with their maker.

 A part of the Seacoast family, Ruby Cheng, shares about the heartache she experienced after losing her mother to sickness, followed by the tragic and unexpected loss of her husband. Ruby is joined on the podcast by Lynne Stroy and Josh Walters who both have their own stories of grief.

136 - My Life Between Two Worlds (w/ Sonny Sandoval from P.O.D.)11 Feb 202501:21:03

Sonny Sandoval was born and raised on the streets of Southtown, Texas, two exits from the Mexico border. He was always a behind-the-scenes person with no ambition of being the frontman for the platinum selling band, P.O.D. The band, known for their heavy music, was too Christian for the world but too secular for the Church. Sonny lives on the edge of these two worlds, a line he has attempted to walk with integrity. 

In his new autobiography, Son of Southtown, Sonny reflects on over 30 years of being a Christian in a mainstream band, playing on MTV and touring the world. 

How does one truly follow God's calling in this chaotic world? Part of the equation, according to Sonny's story, is being totally and uniquely who God made you to be, without apology and without compromise--but with passion and integrity.

At the top of the episode, the hosts discuss their musical preferences, whether worship is a regular part of each of his or her personal worship practices and whether there is such thing as an "anointed" song.

135 - God's Kingdom is Not a Political Party (w/ Pastor Brian Zahnd)04 Feb 202500:58:26

What does it mean for a Christian to be "part of God's Kingdom?” How should this knowledge inform a Christian's view of politics, government, and general posture toward other countries? Pastor Brian Zahnd, of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri and author of a dozen books, joins the podcast to talk about the radical shift in how the church postures itself as part of God's Kingdom, stating the church should "not be of this world" (John 17:16). With a biblical view of God's Kingdom as the context, Pastor Brian and Joey also discuss the key to unity in the church, how a Christian holds peace in this war-torn world, what the church's role is in light of Jesus' finished work at the cross and how this plays out in Brian’s church.

At the top of the episode, Tomelex Copeland, Luke Gaikwad, Lynne Stroy, and Joey Svendsen reflect on being "snowed in" for this recording and ponder some theological questions in regard to the fires in California.

Author, activist, and pacifist Shane Claiborne and Bible scholar and historian Marc Turnage join the podcast with their sharp disagreements concerning the war in Israel.

At the top of the episode, Lynne, Joey, Jack, and Roy discuss their own opinions of war. With the historic devastation of Nagasaki and Hiroshima (Japan, World War II) as the context, the four discuss the nuances of being a hopeful, peaceful Christian while living in a world where war rages and innocent lives are taken.

[MLK Day Special Re-Run] What MLK Jr. Means to These Black Seacoast Folks and Why "Race Conversations" Are Still Hard21 Jan 202500:51:43

[This Episode Originally aired on MLK Day 2023]

Show-notes from that episode:

Black pastors at Seacoast, Lynne Stroy and Joel Delph, join Lead Pastor Josh Surratt and host Joey Svendsen to discuss why publicly putting language to their lived experiences as black people is nerve-wracking; and given the limitations of words, very susceptible to being misconstrued.

The four discuss why conversations surrounding race is still difficult to this day, especially in the church.  Could there be a spirit of division behind it all?  Our lead pastor believes so.   Why is the idea of systemic racism too offensive for some to even consider?  What role do politics play in how people process all of this?

Joel and Lynne, alongside multiple African-Americans who are a part of the Seacoast family, also share what the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. means to them personally.

Christmas On The Podcast (Part 4): It’s A Wonderful Life w/Jack Hoey17 Dec 202401:47:19

For the final episode of 2024, it's PART 4 of our four-part Christmas series, where Pastor Jack Hoey III and host Joey Svendsen discuss the ultimate Christmas movie classic, It's a Wonderful Life. We’ll also catch up with Lead Pastors Josh and Lisa Surratt and hold the second annual "Christmas Trivia Championship Showdown."

Listeners will hear a variety of opinions about It's a Wonderful Life—Joey is disappointed by the lack of excitement surrounding what he thinks could be the greatest movie ever. Some of the hosts theorize that the movie may be more interesting to people with specific racial backgrounds, while Jack highlights that the main character, George Bailey was celebrated because of how he lived his life sacrificially for others—relating this idea to how God is also sacrificial.

Also included in this episode is a thought-experiment on having political discussions with family during the holidays, the balance between living sacrificially for others while not neglecting self, the significance of feeling compelled to give a gift to a person he or she received a gift from, and whether it's more difficult to find healthy community in 2024 when technology options have increased.

Christmas On The Podcast (Part 3): Home Alone w/Adam Martin10 Dec 202400:55:22

In PART 3 of a four-part Christmas series, Pastor Adam Martin and host Joey Svendsen talk about the 1990s Christmas movie that took American culture by storm—Home Alone. Pastor Adam has a doctorate in counseling and in today’s episode, Joey asks him several questions surrounding mental health and Adam delves into why social isolation is so common in the real world. With more and more people finding themselves alone—even during the holidays—Adam explains why some choose isolation rather than being hurt in relationships again.

At the top of the episode, the host crew discusses "silly violence" in movies like Home Alone and in cartoons like Tom & Jerry, contrasting them with disturbing violence in video games like Grand Theft Auto.

Christmas On The Podcast (Part 1): Buddy the Elf and Morals Surrounding Feasts and Overeating03 Dec 202401:09:08

It's a 4-part Christmas series and to kick us off, Seacoast’s Lead Pastor Josh Surratt is in the studio to talk about Seacoast’s Christmas At The Movies series. He continues the conversation about ‘belief’ from his own message based on the 2003 Christmas classic, Elf. Josh responds to the flack that Seacoast gets about mixing sermons with movies.  He also proposes that despite the uneasiness that spiritual doubts and questions may elicit, the church can't be afraid of them. He then gets personal about how worship is used in his life to battle circumstances and strengthen his faith.

At the top of the episode, Lynne Stroy and Tomelex Copeland admit that they can take or leave the movie, Elf and the host crew is split on their opinions of white chocolate. Then the conversation turns serious as they discuss what glorifying God through our eating looks like and Jack Hoey III shares why the question "what's God doing in your life right now?” isn't a good one.

125 - Will My Pet Be in Heaven?19 Nov 202401:01:31

Many have grieved the loss of a pet and asked the question, “do pets go to heaven?” Some Christians believe that only humans have souls; therefore, only humans will live forever. But, what if there is more to the story? In his book, Will My Pet Go to Heaven?, pastor, theologian, and author Steve Wohlberg gives a biblical perspective that may offer a hopeful answer. Pastor Steve gained inspiration to write the book following a personal encounter with God after the tragic loss of his own dog.

At top of the episode, Tomelex Copeland shares the recent news of adopting a baby boy, “Champ," and discusses how this massive and beautiful life-changing event unfolded for him and his wife, Melissa.

Steve is the Speaker/Director of White Horse Media and a seasoned TV producer, radio host, seminar speaker, and author of over 40 books. He’s been featured on more than 500 radio and TV shows, captivating audiences with his deep insights and genuine warmth.

124 - A Friendly Debate About the Doctrine of Predestination 12 Nov 202401:19:08

The topics of predestination and free will have been debated for centuries. On this week’s episode, we’ll hear from individuals with varying opinions on these complex topics. Bible scholar, writer, and podcaster, Chris Date believes in the theology of Calvinism (term often used synonymously for predestination) and sees one’s salvation as something that God predetermined and that only individuals whom God chose will live with him for eternity. Chris and Joey Svendsen are joined by Pastor Chip Judd to discuss this belief. Chris and Chip also share sharp opinions on whether a person’s actions or choices are authored by God and if he controls the outcome.

At top of the episode, Tomelex Copeland, Roy Jacques, Lynne Stroy and Joey have their own discussion on predestination and they revisit a conversation from an earlier episode and assess whether it’s possible for a person to remain quiet in a stressful, high pressure situation.

123 - Rick Barry—NBA All-Star, Then And Now05 Nov 202400:59:42

Member of the NBA Hall of Fame and MVP of the 1975 NBA Finals, Rick Barry joins Joey Svendsen and Tomelex Copeland to talk about the values that have shaped him into the man he is today. Hard work and grit earned Rick a NBA Championship ring and a 90% free throw shooting average—all while throwing the basketball underhand. The retired professional basketball player also shares his opinions on why we shouldn’t compare different NBA eras.

At top of episode, hosts, Joey Svendsen, Luke Gaikwad, Lynne Stroy, and Amy Worley discuss how emotions play a large role in the media we watch. They specifically dive into a true story about ten men who plotted to kill Reverend Billy Graham during a revival, but God had other plans. Nine of the men left having received the grace of Jesus. Then, Luke, Lynne, Joey, and Amy turn their attention to the Chosen TV series and reflect on how watching the episodes sparks an emotional response and they discuss how the series has personally impacted each of their lives.

122 - A Response To “Should Christians Watch Horror Movies”29 Oct 202400:46:16

Last year, in episode 67, "Should Christians Watch Horror Movies," a panel discussion comprised of Seacoast family shared why watching horror films poses no personal moral conflicts, many even citing reasons why these movies can be good and informing. But today, Lynne Stroy brings a different Biblical perspective and disagrees with these perspectives.

Also on today’s episode is Jack Hoey, Ciarrah Lindsay, Amy Worley, and Joey Svendsen, who have their own response to this form of entertainment. After substantial pushback to last year’s episode, the five of them turn to the morals of general violence in movies and discuss some unrealistic, over-the-top violence in movies like the John Wick series and whether the violence in historical movies like Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List adds value to the viewing experience.

"But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” – 1 John 3:17

Kicking things off with some dialogue surrounding many Christians' tendency to be bashful about owning anything fancy; but this extended episode runs deep.  We’re having three different conversations with all three introducing listeners to people and organizations who not only believe the Gospel, but are set on living it out—“in deed and in truth." At the top of the episode, Joey and Lynne discuss with Roy and Tomelex her recent Seacoast Mission trip to Pakistan and then we'll hear from these two other organizations who are laboring out of love for their fellowman:

Global Water Center / Website / Give / Instagram 
"Equipping leaders to solve the global water crisis together."

Carry 117 / Website / Give / Instagram
"WE hire at-risk women in Korah, Ethiopia, train them to measure, cut, and sew, and provide them with a job. Each month, they earn a paycheck, which in turn allows them to provide for themselves and their families. They can send their own kids to school, feed their family, and save for the future they dream of."

Seacoast Church Missions / Website / Give
"We are fighting poverty, seeking justice, and bringing hope by serving the vulnerable, forgotten and under-served.

120 - Mental Health + Mission of the Church (w/ Chip Judd)15 Oct 202401:06:00

Pastor of Leadership Care at Seacoast Church, Chip Judd, takes great strides in seeking out truth. But, with a background in drugs, eastern mysticism and reckless living, Jesus had to find Chip. Since then, he has restored Chip’s life, made him a charismatic preacher, revealed to him his gift of counseling and strategically positioned Chip to speak truth about the science of mental health as well as the power of God to restore fallen humanity. In this unique time when the church seems to be in the early stages of trending toward a healthy disposition in interacting with the real challenges that come along with mental health, Chip has much to say.

119 - Building Healthy Marriages and Ministries with Pastors Josh and Lisa Surratt08 Oct 202401:15:04

Seacoast Church Lead Pastors Josh and Lisa Surratt have walked with friends who have experienced the heartache of divorce and they’ve seen the relational fallout that comes in many shapes and sizes. On this week’s episode, we discuss the importance of healthy individuals and marriages, including Josh and Lisa’s desire to create a Seacoast staff culture that encourages individuals to open up about personal challenges. The couple shares their hearts for staff members to be healthy, even providing a strategic plan for restoration of health. We’ll also talk about why Josh and Lisa operate off the assumption that if there are healthy marriages and healthy individuals doing ministry, productivity can be relinquished to God (1 Corinthians 3: 6-11).

118 - While She Was Sleeping (w/ Carolyn Haas)01 Oct 202401:10:15

While in town to speak at the Chosen Women’s Conference, Pastor Carolyn Haas joined us in the studio to share about God's faithfulness throughout her life. Growing up in a family of faith, walking away from God, losing her father to suicide, and then returning to church after her boyfriend, Peter, had a life-changing encounter with God. Now her husband, Pastor Peter and Carolyn lead Substance Church in Minnesota, combining their strengths and weaknesses to complement a fruitful ministry. 
 
We also talk to Carolyn about some common themes (and "debate-like" discussions) we've unpacked on the podcast including "The Billy Graham Rule," women in church leadership, and how much a Christian should be invested in spiritual warfare. 
 
At the top of the episode, Roy Jacques, Tomelex Copeland, and Joey Svendsen talk to Lynne Stroy about her experiences at Chosen through the years and they assess the fine line between harmless joking and disrespectful ridicule when it comes to the things of the spiritual.

117 - Gospel Rap is Back w/ 1K PHEW 24 Sep 202401:02:15

Atlanta-based hip-hop artist, 1K Phew joins us fresh off of his 30th birthday to share the meaning behind his “gospel rap.” A "self-proclaimed old soul,” wisdom included, 1K Phew grew up in church before chasing a different lifestyle and getting in trouble with the law. Through that experience, he had a spiritual rebirth and began a relationship with God. He has now taken the hip-hop scene by storm and in his own words, "gospel rap is back.” 
 
In addition to his story, 1K Phew talks to Lynne Stroy and Joey Svendsen about the difference between being a "Christian artist" and "an artist who communicates Christian themes.” He also gives the rationale for why he collaborates with hip-hop artists who don't hold to Christian faith.

At the top of the episode, Lynne, Joey, and Luke Gaikwad discuss "the Cheers paradigm." The idea is that today when you look at pictures of TV stars who appeared in shows in the 1970s and 1980s, while in their 30s and 40s, look to us like they are in their 50s and 60s. It's a thing.

116 - The Instagram Hip-Hop Free-styling Sensation, Ray Wimley 17 Sep 202401:22:06

Ray Wimley considers himself a family man. He's a proud father, happy husband, one after the deeper things of life, and he’s driven to spread love to his fellowman. In the last few years, Ray, a hip-hop artist, has taken to Instagram, posting videos of himself free-style rapping in public spheres. His rhymes incorporate people's actions, attire, and anything that comes to his brilliant mind, leaving hip-hop fans marveling and the masses smiling.
 
Ray and host Joey Svendsen talk about Ray's upbringing, laugh, and lament about the pleasures and heaviness of being a dad. Joey also probes for the framework and mechanics of Ray's gift of rapping and plays some highlights while Ray gives us the scoop on some of his tactics.
 
At the top of the episode, Pastors Josh Surratt and Josh Walters sit with Lynne to talk internal leadership and accountability structures at Seacoast, what's behind Lynne's intimidating “stone-cold face,” and they remember a trivial concern from back in the day when Joey pushed back hard against Josh Walters.

115 - After an Abortion: Finding Grace, Restoration and Community 10 Sep 202401:08:12

As Peyton Pickens was preparing for the Chosen Women’s Conference in 2023, she did not expect the freedom she would encounter or the rescue and redemption she was about to experience. Ten years prior, Peyton had an abortion and had struggled with that decision ever since. But, during the conference, The Holy Spirit convinced her to be prayed over by another woman, who then confessed to Peyton her own abortion earlier in life. 

With host, Joey Svendsen, Peyton walks us through how her life unfolded, leading to an abortion, her life-changing transformation, and what she’s learned in the one year since Chosen.

At the top of the episode, Tomelex Copeland, Jack Hoey III, Abbie Love, and Joey Svendsen talk about Kareem Abdul Jabaar's work-life balance and whether the sacrifices to pursue greatness are worth making. They wrap things up by analyzing who's more likable—Lebron James or Michael Jordan.

114 - Michael Sweet, Frontman of Platinum-Selling Metal Band, Stryper 03 Sep 202401:10:00

In a pre-MP3 and CD era, vinyl full-albums abounded in Christian bookstores and at local record stores. It's 1986, and today's guest, Michael Sweet, and his band Stryper ("by His stripes, you are healed.." Isaiah 53:5) just released their album To Hell With the Devil. It's about to sell millions in both Christian and secular markets, with its songs all over the radio, and music videos on MTV. Host, Joey Svendsen was in the 4th grade, but found that Stryper album at Family Christian Bookstore and it turned his life upside-down, resulting in music exploration being a full-blown hobby.

Stryper was no different than the other "metal band greats," like Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Poison. From impeccable songwriting to catchy melodies and shredding guitars, Stryper was on top of their game. The things that separated them from the rest was their motivation to spread the gospel of Jesus and their song lyrics that matched that passion.

Joey talks to Michael Sweet about the early days of Stryper, the hair and make-up culture of the 80s metal scene, and why Michael had to walk away to get healthy and prioritize God and family. Throughout the episode, Joey highlights some of his favorite Stryper songs as listeners are treated to audio clips of them all.

At top of the episode, Abbie Love, Joey, Tomelex and Jack Hoey III talk pointless homework assignments and spiritual warfare in context of the Surratt's wreck discussed in episode 112.

[BONUS] "God Help Me With My Faith" (a post-sermon discussion on Sunday's message)29 Aug 202401:06:54

Pastor Adam Martin makes his first appearance on the Seacoast Podcast, it's been long overdue. He delivered a sermon four days ago on Sunday (August 25th), "God Help Me With My Faith."  On this bonus episode, he's in studio with Jack Hoey III (Creative Director, Pastor, host of show), Joey Svendsen (host of the show, Pastor) and Geoff Reppard (Pastor of Seacoast Small Groups, also first time on the podcast) to talk faith, doubt, certainty and disbelief.  Other questions are discussed: Has western Christianity taken the "personal relationship" component of faith too far and perhaps have not enough emphasis on the beauty and truth of "the Faith" being originally birthed into "the church" (a group of people) and never starting with "one person having his or her own personal faith?" 

If painful seasons are "building blocks" of faith, are they also good? Does God give these seasons as gifts?  Pastor Adam explains the important distinction between "God causing" and "God ordaining," especially in regards to growth from suffering.  Lastly, the four reflect on the importance of experiencing God through the Holy Spirit while also discussing how an overemphasis on "personal feeling" and a zealous drive for experiences can both be counterproductive or even harmful to one's faith.

The guys today can't answer emphatically on a lot of these questions, but they can ponder on it all and certainly give their best guesses; after many years of seeking God, a lot of invested prayer (Adam more than others, very likely. holier, tad older), and a lot of scripture reading. Certainly each having his own experiences with past seasons of doubt and unbelief and now each in a season of peace and belief in the core essentials of the Gospel.

113 - Tired of Being Tired? Receive God's Rest with Jess Connolly27 Aug 202401:14:09

Author and Pastor at Bright City Church in Charleston, SC, Jess Connolly joins the podcast to share some helpful advice, spiritual practices, and truths on adopting a lifestyle marked with rest. In her newest book, Tired of Being Tired: Receive God's Realistic Rest for Your Soul-Deep Exhaustion, she walks the reader through practices on how to find the source of one's fatigue. Jess includes scriptures to meditate on for saying "no," shares strategies for protecting personal peace, and practices for bringing realistic rest into your daily and weekly rhythms. 

With co-host Amy Worley and Joey Svendsen, the three also talk through seasons in which rest seems impossible, how busyness is viewed as a badge of honor, how comparison kills, and how rest comes easier for some.

At the top of the episode, Amy, Joey, Lynne, and Roy talk some about rest, telling lies, the Olympics and a moment over the summer when Joey lost his cool with a stranger.
