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.Be a Patron of the Podcast! Other Past Christmas Episodes:Santa Claus and Other LiesThis Christmas, Rejoice With Those Who RejoiceChristmas Episodes on Grief:This Holiday, Mourn with those Who MournThis Holiday, Mourn with those Who Mourn IIChristmas Music Courtesy of Seacoast Christmas Collective IIIn this episodeJosh Surratt / Instagram Roy Jacques, host / FacebookTomelex Copeland, host / FacebookLynne Stroy, host / InstagramJoey Svendsen, host / InstagramJack Hoey, host / InstagramAmy Worley, host / Instagram Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, including theme song: Joel T.
