Coastline Covenant Podcast

Shawn and Hunter talk about Coastline's newest sermon series, Give Thanks. But they also talk about a gazillion other things, as is customary with these two.

Hunter interviews Kevin Weiner, who is the Director of Missions and Mercy at Reality Los Angeles for our final episode in our Imperfect Line series. They discuss pickle ball, collegiate soccer, and the nature of podcasts. However, more importantly, they discuss Kevin's journey from Mira Costa student to UCLA goalie to being on staff at a "cool" church. Then, they talk about the risky...

What do you think about the youth of America? They're on the phones too much? They're annoying? They are isolated? Lonely? Not religious anymore? Hunter set out to ask some students at Coastline Youth that very question: what do you think adults think about you, and where are they right? What followed were several conversations that ended up becoming a really special episode of the Coastli...

Hunter chats with Lorrie Tom about how the universality of creativity. They discuss why creativity is important, the false dichotomy between being "creative" or "analytical", artists they respond to, radical authenticity, and Harry Styles!

Sometimes, things don't line up! We'll be back next week with a new episode.

Hunter and Michael talk about the most popular pop culture fathers, where society gets fatherhood right, and some of the neurological changes that happen to dads. Then, they look at what the Bible says about fatherhood, God as Father, and the model that Jesus provides for us dads. Dad or not, this is a great conversation that we hope you enjoy!

Hunter sits down with Britt Faris to talk about how the world views parenting, her role as a mom, and how to prioritize her family values in a busy world. They also talk about Spanish, MLM's, and how Britt literally does not listen to podcasts. This is a GREAT episode and we hope you enjoy!

Our series Imperfect Line continues with a conversation about community. Hunter and Garrick discuss Garrick's sabbatical, some of the cultural messages around community, and what makes Jesus-centered community valuable and worth your time. This is a great episode and we hope you love it!

WE'RE BACK! Hunter and Shawn talk about the book of Daniel, the imperfect lines we have to draw as believers, and how exile will factor in to our new podcast series, Imperfect Line.

Hunter is joined by Jeremy Megginson to talk about the organization Foster the City, which is a group that seeks to equip churches to provide loving homes for foster children. Jeremy talks about the events that led him to get involved with Foster the City, some staggering statistics, and tangible ways that we can help. For more info, you can check out Foster the City right here, or email Jeremy .

In continuing our conversations about the relationship between the physical and the non-physical, Hunter welcomes very special guest Dr. Delanie Brunet, a physical therapist in San Diego, CA. Delanie and Hunter talk about the power of healing, overcoming injury, and practical ways believers can physically enhance their spiritual state. This is a GREAT EPISODE! Big thanks to Delanie for taking time...

Hunter sits down with resident theo nerd and Coastline's most recent preacher, Andrew Faris. They talk about the vision of gender as put forth by the Bible, good and bad messages about gender that you see in the church, and ninjas.

Hunter talks with nurse extraordinaire, Kelly Donohue! They talk about her path to becoming a nurse, her experience in a hospital setting vs. a school setting, and ways that she experiences the non-physical realm impacting the physical realm during her work day. They also talk about The HBO Max show The Pitt, her gnarliest nursing story, and why sleep is (maybe) overrated. This was a GREAT convers...

Hunter and Jeannine Hanger (or Dr. Hanger, or Theo Nerd...) talk about some of the ideas from her sermon in our new series, The Temple.

Shawn re-preaches the first sermon in our new series, The Temple.

Hunter, Nikki, and Shawn talk about Easter fashion, who we have in mind when we plan this service, and what tone we're hoping to strike with Good Friday. We'll see you at the park, THIS SUNDAY!

In the loosest and most tired episode of the Coastline Covenant MMMBopcast, Hunter sits down (in his home!) with Mary Beth to discuss Lent at her home church on Catalina, the worry that accompanies sitting with your presence in the presence of God, and the depth of this season. They end with a game where Hunter asks Mary Beth to guess what certain celebrities gave up for Lent.

Hunter sits down with the "Fasting Queen of Coastline" herself to discuss grace, legalism, how we experience Lent in with our senses, and hanging out with Jesus. Funny enough: they recorded an episode last week and it didn't end up saving, so we hope you enjoy this second try!

Hunter sits down (virtually!) with Lorrie Tom, and they discuss her background in literature and writing, what she's doing this year for Lent, and things they both like (The Smiths) and things they have differing opinions about (The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen). Lorrie's post on her Substack is mentioned frequently, so we recommend reading it before you listen. You can find it here!

During this Lent season, we're trying to simplify things on the podcast. Instead of intricate series and dense topics, we're simply just asking about people's experiences with Lent. What are you giving up? What has Lent meant to you over the years? What do you hope to gain? We're kicking things off with two high school boys: Mason McLennan and Chapman Hurley. They (alongside Hunter...

Lent is upon us! Join Michael, Shawn, and Hunter as they discuss what they're giving up (or adding) for Lent, how this season has become more and more important over the years, and the value of being present. All of this is meant to get you excited about our Ash Wednesday Service on Wednesday, March 5th at 7:00PM!

Hunter sits down with Garrick to talk about Bob Dylan... but most importantly, they discuss and preview our upcoming Coastline Lab: Practicing the Presence of the Holy Spirit. Garrick talks about his journey in the Spirit, his excitement in the format of these upcoming Labs, and his hope for the individual who attends and how their involvement will ultimately bless Coastline. A Year in the Spirit....

Camps are a big part of youth ministry, so we decided to ask some of our students what their favorite part of camp was this year. You'll hear from a bunch of different students who all enjoyed heading up to Hume SoCal this year!

Hunter sits down with his old friend (and new-ish) employee Luke Megginson to talk about his life, his ministry experience, and how his time working at Coastline has been so far. Then, Hunter gives Luke some questions straight from the Proust Questionnaire.

Hunter talks to Nikki about her upcoming sabbatical, her ministry and employment history (shout out TJ Maxx!), and a bit about what she personally is hoping to get out of this time off. They end the episode by reflecting on quotes about rest from some of our most insightful public figures. We'll miss you, Nikki! Hope that you enjoy Lady Gaga, whale sharks, and Traitors!
