Episode 8: Succession, Nepotism and the beauty of being "Ryan" (Special guest: Josh Surratt)

Chris and Geoff are joined by their nephew, Josh Surratt, who succeeded his dad as pastor of Seacoast Church. We chat about what its like to following your dad as pastor of a megachurch, how to do succession wrong (and right), as well as some meaningless chit chat (Academy Awards, Denver weather, the missing princess, and why Ryan is the go to name for Hollywood celebrities.)

Episode 7: Toby Slough joins to talk equipping pastors and parents to deal with anxiety.

Our good friend, Toby Slough, joins us to talk about the very serious challenges of dealing with anxiety. While leading Cross Timbers Church, a megachurch outside of Dallas, Toby was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, so he understands the daily battle many pastors, parents, and kids face every day. Knowing a little about anxiety, The Brothers Surratt lean in for practical advice.
Of course there's also the normal tomfoolery (Is that still a word?) around topics such as the evil of Daylight Savings Time, and who had the biggest pre-wedding party.
