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.

[Happy Summer and hope you enjoy our 9-part summer series, Seacoast Podcast's "In the Summer." For the next 9 weeks, we'll do deeper dives on very particular subject area that in many cases are very unique subject area for this podcast. As the summer brings a unique season of hopefully relaxation and peace to your life, we're delivering to you some unique content]

For many kids in recent decades, summer means more time for playing video games. But even some adults still find joy in gaming. On this episode, Joey is joined by Adam Erickson, Jack Hoey, and Eric Mays to discuss the hobby they never grew out of.

The four men share that while they don’t have the luxury of summers off anymore, they still gladly take advantage of extra time to play video games. They walk through the "memory lane” of games from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s before sharing that some modern video game stories can move them to tears. We’ll also learn how they personally integrate this hobby into their adult life and whether or not they have to work hard to avoid video game addiction.

Topics addressed today: video games, video game history, video game beauty, video game as an adult hobby, and video game potential perils.

Next week's episode 9: summer safety in general, safety at the beach and being safe with your skin (w/ a firefighter, professional lifeguard and dermatologist.
