On today’s episode, Joey and Lynne talk with singer/songwriter, Grayson Little. Grayson grew up at Seacoast Church and has served at multiple Seacoast campuses as a worship leader, but has since pursued his music career full-time. During Joey and Lynne’s time with Grayson, they talk country and southern rock music genres, how the internet has affected the music industry, and the drastically different experience of Grayson’s Saturday night gigs at the bar and then leading worship the next morning. An American Idol contestant in 2019, Grayson shares his story of being on the show, including a significant memory of getting props from Lionel Richie. And, what would a Brandon Lake/Grayson Little tour look like? Grayson pitches the idea of touring with his long-time friend, and Joey, Lynne, and Grayson discuss the topic of compromising the artistry by “making it big.”

At the top of the episode, Joey, Lynne, and Amy talk about movies, but then go deep, all of them sharing what has sustained their faith and if any encounters with the Spirit of God helped them stand firm.

We continue our conversation on radical, Christian love by talking with musician and song-writer, John Mark McMillan. Known for songs like, “How He Loves,” John Mark McMillan shares his thoughts on the important topic of how Christians should represent Christ’s love in the Church. We’ll discuss the challenge of connecting deeply with others who see the world differently and ask tough questions like: Are Christians losing sight of the radical love Jesus calls us to? Does cancel-culture have a place within Jesus' church? Should a Christian strive to have a soft heart toward every single person? These questions and more with John Mark McMillan.

At top of the episode, three students from Seacoast’s Southeastern University—all Generation Z—discuss culture, technology, and the "love topic" at hand.

Connecting deeply with others who see the world differently seems like a challenge these days. Even inside the Church, it can appear that Christians are losing sight of the radical love Jesus calls us to. Pastor Kristin Mockler Young from Mosaic Church (Charlotte, NC) shares her thoughts on this important topic. Does cancel culture have a place within Jesus' church? Should a Christian strive to have a soft heart toward every single person? These questions and more with Pastor Kristin.

Mike Cosper of Christianity Today has recently released a book, Land of My Sojourn: The Landscape of a Faith Lost and Found, which focuses on his painful experience of leaving local church ministry and the grace that restored his faith. The book stems from Mike’s experience with church hurt and his doubts about the goodness of the Church. Through it all, Mike has found a sense of peace and has learned a valuable life lesson–one he is still learning from.

Today, Mike talks about his book, reflects on scriptural testimonies, and answers questions about church culture. He also shares his thoughts on his podcast series that exposes the downfall of a church leader, and where he currently stands on matters of faith and life.

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.
