The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday captures meaningful – and often challenging -- conversations that happen off the stage amongst the people of Seacoast. Hang with us and guests we love to learn from, including authors, artists, pastors, and many others who share their stories of struggle and oftentimes, how God's grace brought about peace and redemption. We hope listening in to our discussions revolving around church, theology, and culture will feel like slowing down and hanging with friends. You'll be encouraged, laugh, find solidarity with someone else's story, or see things from a new point of view. What if listening to other perspectives was the first step in loving people with a different point of view? We're giving it a shot.

    185 - Take a Hike

    In this episode, you’ll hear the stories of three men whose lives were deeply impacted by the Seacoast Men’s Hike—stories of honesty, courage, unexpected grace and healing from sexual addiction, and the pain of past sexual abuse.   The hike is a powerful experience where men leave their cell phones behind and spend three nights trekking through mountainous wilderness with a single goal: seeking God together. Ladies, there is a women’s hike for you, too.    Along the way, the conversation takes some interesting turns: a fascinating piece of Civil War history tied to one guest’s family, a memorable encounter involving a very angry bull, and the the light-hearted shame one has about his home state—especially in light of South Carolina’s vocal disdain for it.  This is a conversation about healing, brotherhood, and what can happen when men are willing to step into the wilderness—together.  Today's Guests: Noah Davis | Josh Drago | Paul Sparrow 2026 Spring Men's Hike | Info Meeting E-mail to get information on the hike or how you can start your own at seacoasthike@seacoast.org.

    184 - Finding Freedom from Self (w/ Pastor Sharon Hodde Miller)

    Author of the devotional, "Gazing at God: A 40-Day Journey to Greater Freedom of Self," Pastor Sharon Hodde Miller joins the podcast to discuss the power and the freedom found in turning away from self-centeredness and turning toward God. Pastor Sharon incorporates her personal story into the conversation as she explores self-esteem, ambition, and how one balances an "others-centered life" while also maintaining healthy self-care.   At the top of the episode, hosts Ciarrah Lindsay, Bri McLeod, Lynne Stroy, and Joey Svendsen discuss the terminology "moral failure" and whether it's a fitting term for pastors who make significant, immoral mistakes.  On this Episode Sharon Hodde Miller | Web | Instagram | Book  Hosts:  Tara Banks | Ciarrah Lindsay | Bri McLeod | Lynne Stroy | Joey Svendsen Be a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

    180 - People With Disabilities and the Story of Mark Bookman

    This episode revolves around the documentary "Mark - A Call to Action."  A complementary viewing for podcast listeners can be found at the following link: "Mark - A Call to Action." Mark Bookman, whose life story is at the center of the documentary (and this podcast episode), persevered through immense physical disabilities. His sister, Rachel, heartbreakingly shared the same condition. Producer of the film, Ron Small joins host Joey Svendsen alongside Seacoasters Mary Tutterow and Mady Glenn for a thoughtful conversation about the responsibility of “Team Humanity” — not only to view people with disabilities through the lens of dignity and equality, but to move beyond abstraction and, out of love, embrace the privilege of creating the same opportunities afforded to those without disabilities.

    179 - A Merry Christmas w/ No Polar Bears: Christmas Episode II

    Reflecting on Christmas, Tomelex derails Joey’s icebreaker question with an intense fear of being killed by an animal, sending the crew into a hilarious detour about bears — including the shocking truth that polar bears are known to actively hunt humans. Eventually, the conversation circles back to the Christmas spirit as podcast patron L.B. Danzler joins to share why he supports the show before facing a rapid-fire round of all things Christmas. The rest of the episode dives into interesting holiday facts — from the 15,000 annual ER visits caused by Christmas decorating, to the surprisingly gross origins of mistletoe, and the secret decks of cards sent to WWII POWs on Christmas to help them escape.
