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.

Long-time Seacoaster, Jack Hoey, Jr. joins the podcast to discuss the valuable insight found in his new book, "Becoming Yourself: A Perspective on Christian Character."

As a young adult, Jack revered his father and wanted to emulate his positive attributes. So, he approached this endeavor in a way that he metaphorically describes as "putting on a jacket" for a quick outer fix of becoming his dad. He soon realized that real heart change takes time and comes from within. In this discussion, Jack refers to the centerpiece of his book, 2 Peter 1:5-7, to describe "God's will" for everyone. He also shares why it’s healthy for faith to reach a breaking point, what it means to say "yes" to suffering, and how people can't be completely objective about another with love. Jack also brings valuable insight on reading Scripture, having a responsive heart toward others, leading a quiet life, and working for justice.
