  • What is fasting?

    Today’s Show Notes:

    Linnea Morris has a discussion with Pastor Chad and Pastor Chazz about fasting: What is it? What does the Bible say about fasting? Why is it important? And why does it feel so foreign to us as Americans? How often do we need to fast on a regular basis? How do we prevent it from becoming a robotic act? Listen to hear the discussion!

  • What Happens When Shame Shapes Your Identity?

    Today’s Show Notes:

    Linnea Morris and Shane Oehler sit down for another conversation this week! What happens when shame starts telling us who we are? Maybe it’s something we’ve done, a mistake we can’t seem to forget, or something that was done to us that we’ve allowed to shape the way we see ourselves. In this episode of Beyond the Surface, we’ll talk about how to recognize the lies shame tells us, bring them into the light, and replace them with the truth of who we are in Christ.

  • Why do we sing in church?

    Today’s Show Notes:

    In this week’s episode, Linnea Morris interviews our Worship Director, Parker Motley to answer the question: Why do we sing in church? We’re commanded to worship in Scripture, but there’s so much more to it than just that. What about if we don’t enjoy music? Or if we are tone deaf? Does God need our worship?

  • Summer Camp Experience - 2026 Recap

    Today’s Show Notes:

    What really happens when our students are away for a week? If you’ve ever picked up your student afterward, you probably wanted to hear more than “it was good” or “it was fun.” In this episode, Linnea Morris sits down with Alicia Scofield, Children’s Director; Pastor Chazz Upton, Middle School Ministry Director; and Shane Oehler, High School Director, to pull back the curtain on this summer’s camps. They share funny stories, honest moments, unexpected challenges, and the ways God was at work throughout the week.

  • What Is Technology Doing to Our Spiritual Lives?

    Today’s Show Notes:

    Linnea Morris sits down with Seth Evanoff, the A/V Director on Staff at Easthaven, to answer the question: What is Technology Doing to Our Spiritual Lives? We know our habits with technology are not always healthy. We scroll too much. We love to watch quick videos on social media. Do we need to throw out our phones entirely? Give up social media forever?

  • Revelation Part 3: Hot Topics

    Today’s Show Notes:

    We finish this mini-series focused on the book of Revelation with everyone’s favorite buzzwords: rapture, millennium, anti-Christ, and more. Linnea, Pastor Chad, and Ryan explore each of these words by defining them and explaining how different people may view them in Revelation. We focus on the reminder that each of these is not a salvation issue, and there will be people who disagree with us no matter which perspective we hold. Our hope is to remain godly, faithful Christians who approach these terms with charity and humility, while remaining in biblical community.
