Coastline Covenant Podcast

In a special solo pod, Hunter lists 8 reasons that you should memorize Romans 8.

Saying that this episode is a "deep dive on Romans 8" almost feels like an understatement. Beyond the nitty-gritty of the passage, Shawn and Hunter talk about why this is the right way to start our Year in the Spirit series, the misunderstanding surrounding Romans 8:28, and the beauty of life in the Spirit. They also talk about reality TV and dogs. Typical!

Happy New Year! Hunter, Shawn, and Garrick discuss Coastline's 2025 vision: A Year in the Spirit. Beyond that they discuss "Auld Lang Syne", Coastline's Prayer and Vision night from September, and new catchphrases.

All six Coastline Staff members talk about Christmas movies, highlights from this past year, and play a game where they try to rank some of the events in the life of Coastline this past year. The podcast will be off until 2025! Thanks for listening!

Hunter and Nikki talk about the best baby monitors, debrief the successful Christmas Market, and hype up the Coastline Covenant Advent Devotionals by having two of our authors (Samantha Chapman and Sam Van Wagner) read their devotional on the podcast. You can find all of the entries here!

Sometimes, our own vulnerability (or lack thereof) gets in the way of our worship. In this episode, Hunter and Michael expand on their ideas surrounding vulnerability in worship, and God’s place both as the object of worship and the person to whom we can be fully open and honest. They talk about certain behaviors we can cultivate to begin our journey in vulnerability, how we have to practice being...

We’ve talked a lot about how worship starts with seeing God and responding to His worth-ship. Sometimes, that’s easy. Sometimes… that’s hard.

In between discussing various Psalms and the example of Jesus' life and crucifixion, Hunter and...

In the third episode of How to Worship, Hunter and Michael talk about the importance of our physical posture in worship. As we physically respond to God’s worthship, we’re saying a lot about what we expect God to do in our lives.

We're back! After a nice long break (see what I did there?) the Coastline Covenant Podcast is BACK and better than ever.
