[This podcast will also air on Greg Surratt and Chip Judd's The Endurance Factor Podcast]Pastor Chip Judd is back on the podcast to expand on his April 2024 Seacoast Church message, Boundaries: A Proven Path to Better Relationships and Less Stress. You can watch it here.  During that message, he implored people to not take responsibility in areas of life in which authority hasn't been given. He gave clear and emphatic instructions on boundaries for adult children with living parents. But, some of these words caught attention on social media and received many negative comments about his words. In this episode, Chip, alongside Joey, and Pastor Greg Surratt respond to the backlash and clarify the meaning behind his words.  On this EpisodeChip Judd / InstagramGreg Surratt / InstagramJoey Svendsen / Instagram Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, including theme song: Joel T.

Former pastor at Seacoast Church and Lead Pastor at Mosaic Church in Charlotte, Naeem Fazal was born in Kuwait and is an Ex-Muslim.  He wrote a book with the very title:  Ex-Muslim.  He joins Pastor Greg Surratt and Joey Svendsen to discuss the war in Israel.  The three discuss various sentiments many Christians have  toward Israel  (for some, these sentiments are sacred) and how these thoughts can potentially be a distraction from the church's primary purpose in this world. Along the way, the three discuss evil, including what the church's role is, in combatting it.  One reads in the bible that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood"  (Ephesians 6:12) as well as Jesus' command to "love enemies."  But there seems to be times in which violence is unavoidable, given the deeper aim at loving and protecting the oppressed.  How does one navigate the tension of  hating evil while still loving enemies? (Matthew 5:43-47).Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page  In this episodeNaeem Fazal / Instagram / Book / Church / PodcastGreg Surratt / Instagram / Endurance Factor / The Pastors CollectiveJoey Svendsen, host / InstagramExecutive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, including theme song: Joel T.

Pastors Chip Judd and Greg Surratt unpack some history of their friendship, what strengths they see in one another and together discuss some of their weaknesses.  It's quite a humorous and beautiful story how God grafted Chip Judd (and wife Coleen) into the body of Seacoast family.  Pastor Greg shares a foundational conviction  he's always had for Seacoast that according to him, has allowed for so many people with different denominational backgrounds to fit right in and call Seacoast their church family.  Chip Judd gives his take on why the vision at Seacoast and the type of leadership Greg exudes isn't normal for pastors who lead such large churches.  Both explain why despite their many more years of life and ministry experience than that of Seacoast's much younger lead pastor, they unequivocally consider Pastor Josh Surratt to be their pastor.

Seacoast Church is a big tent that houses many Christians believing very differently on certain topics; and this is one of them.  The founding pastor, Greg Surratt, believes in the gift of tongues, practices it behind closed doors, and while many others on staff do as well, many do not.  Some do not believe it's actually a gift that is in effect during this current age of the church.   In today's conversation with Chip Judd, Jack Hoey III, and Joey Svendsen, a few viewpoints are discussed but mainly the gift itself is dissected.  If it's a real spiritual gift, what even is it?  Is it God's intention for everyone to have?  Are there times when people speak in tongues audibly but it's just noises without the Holy Spirit's involvement?  The three discuss these and other aspects of what many refer to as a heavenly language.   Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page  In this episodeJack Hoey III / InstagramChip Judd / Instagram Joey Svendsen / Instagram Lynne Stroy, host / Instagram Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, including theme song: Joel T.

Here is what I know about what's next 1. There will be blessing in the next season “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.” Psalms 145:9 NIV “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” Psalms 34:8 NIV “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7–8 NIV “These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy, and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the Lord your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life. Listen closely, Israel, and be careful to obey. Then all will go well with you, and you will have many children in the land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.” Deuteronomy 6:1–3 NLT “For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.” Deuteronomy 8:7–9 NIV “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:33 NLT 2. There will be challenges in the next season “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”” John 16:33 NIV “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” John 12:24–28 NIV 3. Some of our biggest blessings will come from our biggest challenges in the next season “Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days. The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses. Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing and joy! The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon, as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon. There the Lord will display his glory, the splendor of our God.” Isaiah 35:1–2 NLT “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coastalchurch/message

Jonathan Wiggins is back! On this episode of the podcast, he and Greg Surratt catch up on what's happening with the Pastors Collective and The Retreat at Church Creek. They also talk about Jonathan's new book, Walking with Lions: How to Find True Courage and Enduring Strength Through God-Honoring Relationships, a book about the need for deep and intentional friendships.

Join Pastor Greg Surratt for a fun, fascinating, and wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Ed Stetzer. Their friendship spans two decades, collaborating on mission, church planting, and evangelism.   In this conversation, they'll cover pastoring in our political climate, post-pandemic opportunities for the church, and more. While there's a pervasive sense that our current situation is unprecedented, in reality, the church has been here before. What happened in 1968 – a time of civil unrest and a pandemic known as The Hong Kong Flu – reveals a lot about what might be ahead for us. They look ahead at how society's reopening, cultural turbulence, and changes emerging in a new economy might affect the church.   Dr. Stetzer is a professor and dean at Wheaton College who also serves as Executive Director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center. Stetzer has planted, revitalized, and pastored churches, and trained pastors and church planters. He's also a contributing editor for Christianity Today, and writes for news outlets such as USAToday and CNN. The Pastors Collective is Executive Produced by Greg Surratt. Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Mike Cosper for Cosper Productions.

Many pastors are wrestling with questions about women's ordination. The question has pressed on minds even more urgently since Easter, when Saddleback Church ordained three women as pastors. On today's podcast, Greg Surratt sits down with Sharon Hodde Miller to talk about her own journey into ministry, particularly about discovering her teaching gifts and growing into openness about serving as a pastor. Sharon has an MDiv from Duke Divinity and a PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where she studied issues of women and calling. She's also the author of two books, Free of Me: Why Life is Better When It's Not About You and Nice: Why We Love to Be Liked and How God Calls Us to More. Sharon and Greg explore her story, how she embraced her calling as a preacher and teacher, and broader questions about women's roles in ministry.

John Eldredge is the bestselling author of many books, including the NY Times bestseller Wild at Heart. He is also president of Wild at Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God and recover their own hearts in God's love. Join Greg Surratt for this rich conversation with John as they talk about the 20th anniversary of Wild at Heart's publication, the unique challenges that men face in our culture, and ways that churches can best serve the men in their congregations. It's an especially important conversation as we enter the second year of the pandemic, as men face deeper temptations of suicide, anxiety, and depression.   At the heart of the masculine journey is a call to courage – one as urgent for boys as it is for men. John's work is an invitation to embrace that call and find that as men step into it, they'll find themselves drawing near to the heart of God.

Last Sunday, for the Seacoast Church weekend message, Joey and Pricilla joined founding pastor Greg Surratt to tell their story of Joey's mental health crisis (2019).  Joey implores the church to humanize pastors and Pricilla shares some "do's" and don't's" when interacting with people who are struggling mentally.  We kick this episode off, sharing this recording which includes audio from a "bumper video" Joey also helped in. And for the “main event,” Joey's friend Hunter Gregory is gay, relatively conservative in his faith and politics, and is “in fellowship” with Christians who are not in alignment with his sexuality.  He shares why he does this and also where he draws the line.  Hunter Gregory:https://www.instagram.com/hunuh17/Joey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee giving opportunity: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsSupport Us:Join us as a patron! https://www.patreon.com/pwnapodor leave a Venmo tip right @  https://venmo.com/joey-svendsenJoin the discussion:https://www.facebook.com/groups/PWNAtalkSocials:https://twitter.com/pwnapodhttps://twitter.com/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodCALL 507-403-PWNA (7962):  Questions, Comments, Feedback, Pushback, frustration?Air it out on our voicemail and we may air it on an episode.E-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Theme Song courtesy of Derek Minor:  http://www.derekminor.comOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton/Mechanical Riverhttps://mechanicalriver.bandcamp.com/Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

Pastor Greg and Pastor Darrin talk about life for a pastor's kid on this episode. Everyone has their eyes on the pastor's kids. They grow up in a fishbowl uncertain about how they should act and behave. It's hard for them to just be who they are. The expectation that these kids should have a strongly cultivated faith can wreak havoc on their lives. Pastor Greg and Pastor Darrin discuss what it means to help pastors' kids feel secure and feel the freedom to be kids.

On Today's episode, Pastor Darrin and Pastor Greg talk about the difficulty and necessity of building real friendships.  It's a unique challenge for pastors because the intimacy, authority, and expectations that would-be friends project onto pastors. It's also challenging because of the limitations on time and energy an individual pastor has. And of course, it can be very painful when we feel as though we've been spiritually betrayed.  Greg and Darrin dig into these difficulties, challenging us to seek meaningful friendships through prayer and through intentionality.  Executive Produced by Greg Surratt and Darrin Patrick Edited, Produced, and Mixed by Mike Cosper and Narrativo
