The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday

The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday captures meaningful – and often challenging -- conversations that happen off the stage amongst the people of Seacoast. Hang with us and guests we love to learn from, including authors, artists, pastors, and many others who share their stories of struggle and oftentimes, how God's grace brought about peace and redemption. We hope listening in to our discussions revolving around church, theology, and culture will feel like slowing down and hanging with friends. You'll be encouraged, laugh, find solidarity with someone else's story, or see things from a new point of view. What if listening to other perspectives was the first step in loving people with a different point of view? We're giving it a shot.

139 - Grief Part 1: Caged Momentum (w/ Ruby Cheng)

A part of the Seacoast family, Ruby Cheng, shares about the heartache she experienced after losing her mother to sickness, followed by the tragic and unexpected loss of her husband. Ruby is joined on the podcast by Lynne Stroy and Josh Walters who both have their own stories of grief. Together, with Joey Svendsen, the four discuss the hopelessness that seasons of grief deliver and why the sentiment of "God just wants you to be happy" doesn't "add up" when facing grief.

Ruby also shares about her book, "Caged Momentum: A Memoir of Goodness in Grief,” describing what she’s learned about grief. Ruby talks about restored hope, how grief has changed her, and why she can now experience a deeper level of contentment, even after walking through the “valley of the shadow of death.”

At the top of the episode, Lead Pastors Josh and Lisa Surratt, alongside Jack Hoey III and Joey Svendsen, discuss some of the top google-searched questions pertaining to living out one's faith: how does one trust in God, why does God allow suffering and how does one go about refraining from yelling at his or her kids.
