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.

    189 - An Encounter With Heaven with Pastor David Scarlett 

    At a young age, Pastor David Scarlett of His Glory Ministries had achieved success, financial stability, and had a promising future—yet when his marriage began to fall apart, his accomplishments offered little comfort. This crisis pushed him to seek a deeper, more authentic faith in Jesus.  Later in life, Pastor David suffered a severe case of botulism after eating a chili dog—an event he says led to his death and a vivid encounter with heaven. Though only five minutes had passed in the hospital room, he describes what felt like days in heaven, and says he saw Jesus standing at the foot of his bed before returning to his body. In this episode, Pastor David shares how this near-death experience shaped his ministry, the mission that emerged from it, and his perspective on the ongoing struggle between good and evil in America.  At the top of the show, Tomelex Copeland, Natasha Gray, Lynne Stroy, and Joey Svendsen discuss the moral questions surrounding combat sports like boxing and MMA, a viral story about a Walmart wedding ring used in a heartfelt proposal, and their takes on the phrase: “Be careful what you pray for.”  On this Episode: Pastor David Scarlett | Instagram | Website  Hosts: Tomelix Copeland  | Natasha Gray  | Chip Judd | Lynne Stroy | Joey Svendsen    Natasha's "Reminders" | Spotify | Apple Music   "Love Where You Live" highlight: Friends@StarGospelMission.Org Be a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

    [REBOOT]: Irene Rollins: Overcoming Addiction and Reframing Shame

    [In honor of Black History Month, we're highlighting some past conversations recorded with some former guests with diverse experiences] Addiction hurts those who struggle as well as those who love the one doing the battling. Irene Rollins shares how her alcohol addiction almost cost her everything  most dear to her. This story and what she's learned on her journey is the foundation of her book Reframe Your Shame: Experience Freedom from What Holds You Back. If you struggle with addiction, you are loved, and as long as there's breath in your lungs, your story can be redeemed.  With Lynne Stroy, Tomelex Copeland, and Joey Svendsen contributing to the conversation with Irene, the four also discuss the nature of women being competitive with one another; they talk about whether they have a special trust in businesses who claim to have Christian owners and navigate whether it's ever too late to bring up a grievance to one who has offended.   Irene Rollins is a certified emotional intelligence coach; she loves to study human behavior, enabling her to understand a wide variety of people and guide them to be the best version of themselves through her teaching, writing, and coaching. After almost twenty-five years in full-time ministry, serving as Senior Pastors of a thriving church called i5 City, Irene and her husband Jimmy felt a shift in their ministry focus. Irene and Jimmy founded the ministry of TWO = ONE with a mission to help build strong marriages that result in healthy families that impact our communities for the better.

    188 - Is Society Getting a Bigger Heart or a Bigger Stomach?

    Culture appears more inclusive than ever—from commercials featuring people with disabilities to news anchors who don’t fit outdated beauty standards. But is this genuine social progress or savvy branding designed to boost profits? With this topic at hand, Joey, Jack, and Lynne explore whether corporate generosity is heartfelt or image driven.  Along the way, they reflect on the chaos of COVID-19 and the unique challenges large churches like Seacoast Church faced.  The three also speculate about liberal and conservative mindsets and discuss if the “watch out for the victim” approach to living was initiated by Christian beliefs.  In light-hearted fashion, Joey also finds out that Jack and Lynne are not his friends.

    [REBOOT]: Lecrae: God, Therapy, and Restoration

    [In honor of Black History Month, we're highlighting some past conversations recorded with some former guests with diverse experiences] Grammy-Award winning hip-hop artist and New York Times best-selling author Lecrae talks about his book I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion But Found My Faith.  Lecrae’s life was headed towards disaster.  More time on the road, less time with family, calendar loaded, substance abuse used as a remedy. In his gut-honest memoire, Lecrae shares the practices he uses in in his daily life for mental, emotional, and spiritual health. His is a story of restoration. Many fans (as well as close personal friends of Lecrae's) made it clear that Lecrae should refrain from speaking his heart on racism after his 2014 record release, Anomaly,  when he shares his views.  Some of these friends have never spoken to him again.  Healing from the hurt, committing to extensive talks with a therapist, forming better life habits, and embracing a loving Savior in Jesus has landed Lecrae at a much better place.   On top of sharing his story of restoration, Lecrae discusses with the host team, the beauty of the church, the ugly side as well; and how his mental health was restored.  In this episode Lecrae / Website / Instagram / Book / Music Josh Surratt, co-host / Instagram Lynne Stroy, co-host / Instagram Joey Svendsen, co-host / Instagram Chip Judd, co-host / Instagram / Website Diego Gomez, co-host / Instagram Special thanks to the kids in Mt. Pleasant  Seacoast Campus for pitching in on this one.  You guys killed it.    Be a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

    187 - God Wants You to Become Yourself (w/ Jack Hoey)

    Long-time Seacoaster, Jack Hoey, Jr. joins the podcast to discuss the valuable insight found in his new book, "Becoming Yourself: A Perspective on Christian Character."  As a young adult, Jack revered his father and wanted to emulate his positive attributes. So, he approached this endeavor in a way that he metaphorically describes as "putting on a jacket" for a quick outer fix of becoming his dad. He soon realized that real heart change takes time and comes from within. In this discussion, Jack refers to the centerpiece of his book, 2 Peter 1:5-7, to describe "God's will" for everyone. He also shares why it’s healthy for faith to reach a breaking point, what it means to say "yes" to suffering, and how people can't be completely objective about another with love. Jack also brings valuable insight on reading Scripture, having a responsive heart toward others, leading a quiet life, and working for justice.   From Jack Hoey Jr: LinkIn Profile: Accomplished executive with unusual breadth of skills in finance, operations, and strategy development and implementation. Successful experience in settings ranging from global firms to start-ups. Decisive leader who communicates requirements clearly, builds high-functioning teams, and elicits excellent performance.

    [REBOOT]: What MLK Jr. Means to These African-American Seacoast Folks and Why "Race Conversations" Are Still Hard

    [In honor of Black History Month, we're highlighting some past conversations recorded with some former guests with diverse experiences] African American leaders 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.  In this episode Josh Surratt / Instagram Lynne Stroy / Instagram Joel Delph / Instagram Joey Svendsen, host / Instagram Seacoast Family, voices of black people (in order of appearance): Latoyya Jones / Facebook Josh Hall / Instagram Brenna Robinson / Instagram Tomelex Copeland / Facebook Amanda Snipe / Instagram Derrick Bellamy Deloris Sims Carol Etheridge / Facebook Seacoast Family, voices of kids (not in order of appearance): Leia Benton, Eden Gaikwad, Roxie LaFalce, Rylan Jones, Jo Clement, Henley Rose Mabry Be a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

    Martin Schanley serves on the Seacoast Church Online production team—and he has some stories. From his time as a Los Angeles police officer during the 1992 riots to his work as a chef cooking for (and meeting) numerous celebrities, Martin brings some unique fun to the podcast. He even challenges the common stereotype that celebrities are snobby or entitled by sharing his personal experiences with very famous people who were kind, generous, and genuinely personable.  Joined by hosts Tomelex Copeland, Jack Hoey, and Joey Svendsen, the four men dig into the emotional weight of parenting and how to balance professional ambition while keeping kids at the top of the priority list. And staying true to the podcast, Joey and the hosts sprinkle in a few fun facts and curveballs throughout the episode.  In this Episode: Martin Schanley | Tomelex Copeland | Jack Hoey III | Joey Svendsen  Be a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.
