Pastor Adam Martin makes his first appearance on the Seacoast Podcast, it's been long overdue. He delivered a sermon four days ago on Sunday (August 25th), "God Help Me With My Faith."  On this bonus episode, he's in studio with Jack Hoey III (Creative Director, Pastor, host of show), Joey Svendsen (host of the show, Pastor) and Geoff Reppard (Pastor of Seacoast Small Groups, also first time on the podcast) to talk faith, doubt, certainty and disbelief.  Other questions are discussed: Has western Christianity taken the "personal relationship" component of faith too far and perhaps have not enough emphasis on the beauty and truth of "the Faith" being originally birthed into "the church" (a group of people) and never starting with "one person having his or her own personal faith?"  If painful seasons are "building blocks" of faith, are they also good? Does God give these seasons as gifts?  Pastor Adam explains the important distinction between "God causing" and "God ordaining," especially in regards to growth from suffering.  Lastly, the four reflect on the importance of experiencing God through the Holy Spirit while also discussing how an overemphasis on "personal feeling" and a zealous drive for experiences can both be counterproductive or even harmful to one's faith. The guys today can't answer emphatically on a lot of these questions, but they can ponder on it all and certainly give their best guesses; after many years of seeking God, a lot of invested prayer (Adam more than others, very likely. holier, tad older), and a lot of scripture reading. Certainly each having his own experiences with past seasons of doubt and unbelief and now each in a season of peace and belief in the core essentials of the Gospel.    Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page I YouTubeOn this EpisodeAdam Martin / InstagramGeoff Rappard / Facebook Jack Hoey III / Instagram Joey Svendsen, host / InstagramExecutive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editors: Joey SvendsenSound Engineers/Editor: JT Price and Katelyn Vandivertheme song: Joel T.
