Geoff has been in ministry for 40+ years as a lead pastor and executive pastor. He was one of the early pioneers of the multisite church movement, overseeing the campus expansion of Seacoast Church and Saddleback Church. He also served as the Managing Director of Exponential and has authored or co-authored four books. For the past 15 years Geoff has coached leaders across the U.S. and Europe (including Anthony!) on multiplication, strategy and structure. We discussed: What does ‘success' in ministry really look like? How do we keep the main thing the main thing? What devotional practices can practically help us to stay the course? What guardrails and what do we need to pay attention to that might prevent us from failing and spoiling our leadership legacy as too many ‘high profile' men are doing so often currently? How do we deal with ‘haters' whether outside or inside the church? How to make the most of the church by getting women in leadership not on the sidelines. How to check and discern if YOU have ‘a call' to Christian leadership.

Pastor Geoff Surratt, Greg's younger brother, shouldered a great deal of responsibilities during his 20 years as a Seacoast pastor. Part of this season included leading a very young and inexperienced pastor, Joey, who hosts and produces that podcast. Joey reflects on various lessons he's learned from Geoff and how he's still a bit intimidated by him. They both share stories of working through some challenges and Joey also talks to Geoff about working with his big brother, gets the scoop on Geoff's contributions on innovating the multisite approach to church-planting, and what transpired for him to venture away from Seacoast into different ministry opportunities. At the top of the episode, Lynne, Amy, Jack and Joey reflect on the podcast, including some memorable moments, favorite episodes, and the dynamics of podcasting together.On this EpisodeGeoff Surratt / Instagram / Podcast / E-mail Newsletter Joey Svendsen / InstagramAmy Worley / Instagram Lynne Stroy / Instagram Jack Hoey III / Instagram Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, including theme song: Joel T.

One of the first questions Jesus asked when he began his ministry, “What do you want?” How would you answer that question? What do you truly want in life? How we answer this question determines the course of our time on earth.

How do we stand firm and love well? Is our God bigger than our Babylon? Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn't find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy. So they concluded, “Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion.” Daniel 6:4-5 NLT “But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.” Daniel 6:10 NLT What Daniel didn't do Challenge the authorities Rally the troops Attack his detractors “But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.” Daniel 6:10 NLT What Daniel did Knelt down Windows open Towards Jerusalem As he had always done

Guest speaker Geoff Surratt describes miracles as something so extraordinary that they can only be attributed to God. His sermon plots the attributes of miracles and what elements are the basis for them occurring, using the example of a man trying to save his son's life by seeking Jesus' help and pointing to how miracles always bring glory to God.
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. And angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.” Luke 2:8-9 We are kicking off part three of our teaching series, Christmas at Journey, with guest speaker Geoff Surratt. This series is about finding peace and a calling in the middle of the craziness of the holiday season! This message takes a closer look at characters that often get overlooked—the shepherds. If you look through the Bible, especially the context of the Old Testament, you will see that shepherds play a key role in the beginning to the end of the Bible. Adam and Eve's son Abel was the first shepherd. Moses, the man who delivered the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. King David, the second king of Israel, and before he became king, his role was a shepherd. Often, Jesus refers to himself as the “Good Shepherd.” Why should we pay attention to what a shepherd does? Because they are always there for their sheep. They don't run away or abandoned their sheep. Shepherds know their sheep, they lead their sheep, they provide for their sheep, and they protect their sheep. Have you had someone in your life who has filled the role of shepherd? Someone who has been there for you, cared for you and walked with you. Key Verses: Luke 2:8-15, John 10:14, John 10:2-4, John 10:10-11, Psalms 23:1-3, Isaiah 40:11, John 10:7-9, Psalms 23:4

Bus ministry, cassette tape messages, door-to-door evangelism... all ministry strategies have a lifespan. Is multisite nearing its end? Recently, some high profile multisite churches made the decision to un-multisite. For a variety of reasons, their ministry strategy has shifted from “one church in many locations” to “multiple independent churches,” some even boldly downsizing to one location. Do these public shifts in strategy signal the beginning of the end for the multisite era? In this episode, Tony sits down with Geoff Surratt, pastor and author of The Multisite Revolution, for a conversation on the future of multisite church, and whether or not it's still an effective strategy in today's culture.

Geoff Surratt. The dirty little secret of leadership development classes is that they don't work; classes produce students, not leaders. This workshop looks at the 10 things Jesus did that will develop leaders, and will help you apply them to your context. (Hint: Jesus never taught a seminary class, never had a sign-up sheet and never provided coffee and donuts.)
