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.

Artificial Intelligence isn’t going anywhere—and it may prove to be more transformative than any invention in human history. At the same time, the Church isn’t going anywhere either. Over the last century of rapid technological change, it has continually adapted and even expanded its ability to spread the gospel of love.

So, what happens when these two forces collide?

With AI now capable of processing and synthesizing information at a level far beyond any individual, this episode explores how it should—and should not—be used in ministry. Specifically, we dig into its role in Bible study, prayer, and biblical counsel.

On this episode, biblical scholar, Marc Turnage, joins the podcast to unpack this concept with Jack Hoey, Lynne Story, and Joey Svendsen. Marc focuses especially on the benefits of AI—particularly how it can deepen our understanding of Scripture, which is what his new app, Ask Ezra, has great potential for.
