Episode Synopsis

What does it take to lead well through one of the most delicate seasons in a church’s life—pastoral succession? In this candid conversation, Pastor Josh Surratt of Seacoast Church in Mt. Pleasant, SC, shares his unlikely journey from reluctant leader to embracing the role his father once held. Josh unpacks the principles that made their father-to-son transition healthy, the cultural shifts that sustain growth, and why detaching your identity from your role is vital for longevity in ministry. Whether you’re an outgoing or incoming leader—or somewhere in between—this episode offers a roadmap of honor, health, and hope for the future of the church.
