Pastor Joel Delph and his wife, Kelly, join Lynne Stroy and Joey Svendsen to close out this mini-podcast series that coincides with the Seacoast message series, Digital Detox.

The best restaurant on the Seacoast?Some will tell you it's The Black Birch.Tucked away in Kittery Foreside, this gastropub is a fan favorite lauded for its deviled eggs, short rib, cocktails, and intimate setting. In fact, when Ben Lord and Gavin Baudry started dreaming of having their own spot while both serving tables of Anneke Jans, the vision they'd laid out is nearly identical to what "The Birch" has become. From Kittery Foreside, Ben Lord and host Troy Farkas discuss what led him and his business partners to open The Birch 14 years ago, its role in the evolution of Kittery Foreside, how the Birch has enjoyed 14 years of success, the state of the Seacoast restaurant industry, the labor shortage, and the key role his other restaurant, Chapel + Main, has played in the revitalization of downtown Dover.CHAPTERS:The appeal of the restaurant industry (00:00)Working at Anneke Jans (05:40)Why they opened The Black Birch (10:00)Bridge closures & Kittery Foreside's evolution (14:02)SPONSORS: Sea Love Portsmouth & Chinburg Properties (21:55)Why people love The Birch (24:50)EVENTS: Seacoast Stories Dinner Club & Seacoast Singles (33:55)Chapel & Main's role in revitalizing Dover (35:10)The state of the Seacoast restaurant scene (42:30)How do you want to be remembered?

Host, Joey Svendsen lost his dad unexpectedly over the summer. On this episode, he is joined by three friends and fellow Seacoast staff as he shares what it was like to lose his father. He also describes what felt like supernatural activity right before his dad passed away in the hospital. Joey articulates the current state of his heart and counts his sadness as good grief as he tributes, with thanksgiving, the blessing of being raised and loved by his dad, Virgil Svendsen. Along the way, Joey, Abbie, Bri, and Pastor Teddy, ponder the afterlife and whether the dead have any interaction with (or knowledge of) life on earth. They also talk about the power of music and reflect on the dangers of going on a cruise as a new popular Netflix documentary recounts the story of a girl who boarded a cruise ship and was never seen again. Be a Patron of the podcast  and support our ministry efforts in local prisons.  Today's conversation is with: Abbie Love, Bri McLeod, Joey Svendsen, Teddy Winter,Special song: "Heart Runs," by John Mark McMillan | Apple | Spotify We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

Toby Slough has learned to find peace through the storms. In 1988, Toby was diagnosed with a panic and anxiety disorder, but rather than let it wreck his faith, God birthed a desire in his heart to see more people find peace and wholeness in their mental health. Toby and his wife founded Goby Ministries to provide books and resources that reframe the conversation around mental health and help people find God's strength in weakness. On this episode, Toby's shares some of his story with Joey Svendsen and Lynne Stroy and the three unpack the need, especially for leaders, to be more transparent in their flawed humanity.  A bonus conversation with Toby and the hosts centers around grace, patience, and judgmental dispositions toward those who inconvenience us—like Joey, when he came very close to accidentally standing up Toby for this episode. Be a Patron of the podcast  for an extended version of this episode.

Where are all the Seacoast men?Every week, it feels like a new women's group pops up. And understandably so! Women NEED a safe space to gather, connect, and feel safe. "Seacoast Stories" supports all of those groups.But we also recognize that men need connection, too, especially as traditional masculinity has come under intense public scrutiny in recent years, partly leaving men to feel like they're to blame for all of society's issues.What even is masculinity? What does it mean to be a man in 2025?From the West End of Portsmouth, host Troy Farkas sits down with three other Seacoast men to *try* to get to the bottom of these answers. On this episode, spiritual guide Seth Pearson, podcast host Andy Demeo, and tech entrepreneur Ryan Lambert join "Seacoast Stories" to discuss problems facing young men today, how parenting has changed (for the worse), what women really seek in their male partners, how a man should show up sexually, the importance of confidence and financial stability, why men are "maladapted" for the modern world, men's groups, and even ... mud wrestling?CHAPTERS:The problem with Seacoast men (00:00)Masculine vs. feminine energy (05:05)Feeling insecure in masculinity (10:12)The importance of confidence, purpose & failure (28:28)Leave an Apple Podcasts review!

David Vargas was a f**k-up.As a teenager in Santa Ana, Calif., the devil tapped him on the shoulder every day. Without a clear direction in life, he started smoking marijuana, which quickly turned into doing all the drugs: Cocaine, ecstacy, ketamine, and more. Drugs were the only thing David believed he was good at.Until, one day, he prepared a fried bologna sandwich for his friends while they were high. David realized then that maybe cooking was something he could pursue professionally. Food is life in his Mexican culture, and what better way to honor that than by bringing people together through delicious food?From Noble High School in North Berwick, M.E., Chef Vargas of Vida Cantina and Ore Nell's Barbecue sits down with host Troy Farkas to discuss his rampant teenage drug use in southern California, getting kicked out of high school after threatening his teacher's life, bone-chilling experiences with racism, attending culinary school in Minnesota, his near-death experience in The Virgin Islands, the $35,000 mistake food truck mistake, supporting a family of four on $12 per hour, the Food Network appearance that changed the trajectory of Vida Cantina, his new career, and SO much more.To support Chef Vargas, you can attend and/or become a sponsor of the New England B.I.P.O.C.

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Troy Farkas, the creator, producer, and host of "Seacoast Stories," a podcast featuring compelling stories about the unique people, businesses, and newsmakers of New Hampshire and southern Maine.   This weekly podcast takes on sometimes controversial issues, highlights local businesses, tells entertaining stories, and seeks to uncover what makes the northern NE Seacoast such a hidden gem.   Prior to creating the "Seacoast Stories" podcast, Troy spent 7 years producing top-performing podcasts at ESPN and The Ringer podcast network on Spotify which were hosted by some of the most high-profile sports media personalities in the world. Troy spoke to me from, as expected, his home on the New Hampshire seacoast.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.
