    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.

    [BONUS EPISODE] Loss, Grief and Redemption: The Story of How Pastor Chip Judd's Life Was Saved

    [This episode originally aired on Mental Health and Mission of the Church Podcast w/ Chip Judd.  You can subscribe to his YouTube Channel here, where you will find a video version of this conversation] Hey, Seacoast. You’re about to meet Lauren, the woman whose decision changed my life forever. After 8 years of battling lung disease, I was running out of breath—literally. I was nearing the end of what my body could handle. Then came the call: “We have a match.”.” Those lungs belonged to PJ, Lauren’s husband.He had died by suicide. And in the middle of her heartbreak, Lauren made an unthinkably selfless choice to give others life through her husband’s passing. In this conversation, Lauren and I sit down to talk about what came next: how you rebuild after loss, how faith holds when everything falls apart, and what it really means to find hope in the darkest places. It’s raw. It’s redemptive. And it’s real. If you’ve ever faced grief, struggled with mental health, or wondered where God is in the middle of tragedy, you'll likely connect deeply to this one.   -- Pastor Chip Judd We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

    178 - Mourn with Those Who Mourn: Christmas Episode 1

    [Go to www.seacoast.org/grief for more resources and support] Christmas brings out the jolliest of hearts for many — but for others, the season can stir up deep pain, longing, and grief. This year is Jill Forbes’ second Christmas since the sudden and unexpected passing of her husband, and in this conversation, she invites listeners into what this season looks like for her now. Jill shares her story with hosts Lynne Stroy and Joey Svendsen, opening up about what she’s learned so far, how she’s navigating the slow work of healing, and the tension of holding both joy and sorrow at the same time. She talks about the curriculum she’s developing to help people better prepare for grief and loss, and she reflects on the ways friends and community have shown support — and the ways people sometimes unintentionally miss the mark. Jill also names the parts of deep grief that really can’t be understood unless you’ve lived through it. At the top of the episode, the hosts take a moment to talk through the old “Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays” culture wars, process the brokenness and beauty of our world, and hear Luke share what Christmas looks like for Christians in India. It’s a tender, honest, and hopeful conversation — one that sits right in the middle of both ache and celebration, much like the season itself.
