Coastline Covenant Podcast

I sat in the Fellowship Hall this past Sunday and asked people to share about their experience with their fast. Enjoy these conversations and be blessed knowing that God is on the move at Coastline!

Hunter, Shawn, and Michael talk about Shawn's sermon about Jonah, their prayer lives, and how prayer can be as easy and frequent as breathing! To catch up on all our Lent sermons, click here.

Hunter, Garrick, Michael, and special guest Melinda Hurley talk about fasting! Throughout a lot of jokes and personal stories, they isolate some important spiritual truths that fasting helps to bring out in our lives. As a church, we want to encourage you to jump in this week and fast in a way that feels appropriate for you in your journey!  To listen to all of the sermons from the Lent serie...

Shawn, Nikki, and Hunter talk about confessing, Psalm 51, the role of mourning in the Christian life, and Shawn's very unique Lent journey.  To catch up on all the sermons from the Lent series at Coastline, click here.

Garrick, Nikki, and Hunter talk about Garrick's sermon from this past Sunday and the devotional content for this week. They get into repentance, community, and the way that Lent is better together than it is alone.  Click here if you want to listen to Garrick's sermon from 2/26, and make sure to download the Coastline App to get a copy of our Lent Devotional!

Happy Lent, everyone! To prepare us for all that Coastline is doing during this season, Garrick, Michael, and Hunter sit down to discuss Lent and its origins, Ash Wednesday, and what we're all "giving up" for Lent. Join us tomorrow night at 6:30pm for our first ever Ash Wednesday service, and we hope that you dive deep into what God has for you over the next 40 days. Here's the link to the 40 Day...

Shawn and Garrick join Hunter to talk about the things they've enjoyed about preaching the book of Esther, the lessons they've learned, and the significance of Purim for our Coastline Family. Thanks for joining us for the past several weeks as we've taken a deep dive into Esther, we have loved it! Stay tuned until the end of the episode for some exciting news about the Coastline Covenant Podcast d...

Hunter and Richelle have watched the VeggieTales episode about the book of Esther so you don't have to! Join them as they discuss the merits of the episode, the drawbacks, and some of the things that just don't quite make sense (how do they hold things? what is Esther?). The conversation transitions from a review of VeggieTales to a discussion about the intentionality Richelle brings to Children's...

We're SO lucky to be joined today by Suzie Lind. Suzie is the Executive Pastor at Journey in Franklin, Tennessee. Beyond that, Suzie uses her platform on social media to highlight the current political climate in Iran. We ask Suzie to walk us through what's happening there and how it connects to the book of Esther today. Suzie closes us in a time of prayer that we hope encourages you to seek ways...

Hunter, Michael, and Garrick sit down and discuss the ways we can move Esther from our head to our hearts. As we've said, this is a complex historical book, so it stands to reason that some of us might not see the value of reading Esther "devotionally." This episode seeks to provide help in that area as well as answering questions such as, "What does it mean to pray through a passage?" and "What s...

Join Hunter, Shawn, and theo nerd Andrew Faris as they discuss God's sovereignty. This is a big topic and the guys spend time asking questions and processing in real time what it means to live our lives as if God is real and active. We hope you enjoy it! Also, if you're looking for Coastline Covenant sermons, they're now uploaded here each week (beginning with the Esther series).

Hunter and Shawn have an in-depth conversation with professor and author Dr. Charlie Trimm about the book of Esther. The three discuss the ways Esther is confusing and challenging, how it fits within our modern understanding, and how to ultimately find Christ within its pages. It was an honor to have Dr. Trimm join us and we hope that you not only enjoy this episode but check out his book The Dest...

Happy New Year! There's no better way to kick off 2023 than by discussing all things the book of Esther! Hunter, Shawn, and Nikki talk about the upcoming series at Coastline, the ways in which the church has avoided Esther historically, and how God moves in the big and the small of our lives. We can't wait to see you at church this Sunday and every Sunday after that!

For the last episode of the year, all 6 Coastline Staff sit at the table and reflect on all that God has done in 2022. We've been so thankful for the journey so far and are so eager to see what God has in store for Coastline in 2023. Thanks for listening and we'll see you next year!

Hunter and Michael sit down with Dr. Jeannine Hanger to talk about Christmas traditions, Christmas advice, and "Angels We Have Heard on High"! They talk about theological richness (or lack thereof!) in contemporary Christmas songs, and the ways in which the Gospel of Luke invites us to look at the juxtapositions all around us. Hope you enjoy it!

We're taking a break! Listen to some old favorite episodes, find a new podcast, or start your own! See you in November!

Coastline Family, we're excited to share this conversation that Shawn had with Ed Lassiter about the Uncommon Life Ed has led. No words can really do what Ed shares justice, so listen and enjoy!

We interrupt our Uncommon Life series to bring you a conversation with Hunter, Peter, Garrick, and Shawn about the potential church merger between St. Andrew's and Coastline. We talk about the story of our partnership, share our excitement towards the future, and even spend time praying for God's wisdom in all of this. If you have questions about what's to come, this is a great place to start.

We're really excited for you to get to know Peter Dunn, the Senior Pastor of St. Andrew's. Peter talks about his story, how he got into ministry, and a little bit about how Coastline Youth and St. Andrew's Youth are forming one new, super youth group!

Hunter and Shawn talk about the next teaching series at Coastline Covenant, The Uncommon Life. We're excited to bring you interviews and conversations with different believers about the ways in which they choose to follow Christ, even when it feels like they're going against the norm. 

All 6 Coastline staff sit around the table and talk mornings, evenings, and doing church somewhere in between. We are SO excited to see what God has for us in this next season at Coastline!

Hunter shares some of the incredible ways that God's word has shaped YOUR life!

Enjoy this conversation with Michael about Psalm 139, parenting, and songwriting. Michael also talks about prayer, which... come on. That's about as good as it gets! ALSO, we want to know: What passage changed YOUR life? Email Hunter (hbabcock@coastline.family) with your passage and a few sentences, a paragraph, a voice memo... anything that can communicate how that particular passage changed your...

Hunter sits down with Richelle to discuss Joshua 1:9, a passage that's changed her life. Enjoy a conversation about streaming services, courage, moving, and grief!

We're back from a break with a new series on the podcast: It Changed My Life. We're talking to some other folks about some parts of Scripture that impacted them in major ways. Today, Hunter sits down with Nikki Hernandez to talk about Psalm 126, her journey through some dark parts of life, and the television program Friends. We hope you enjoy!
