Hunter and Michael wrap-up the TEN WEEK series "How to Worship" by reflecting on what they've learned, clearing up some unclear ideas, and talking about their hopes for the future of this conversation that we've only just begun.

Hunter and Michael are joined by a very special guest on this week's episode of How to Worship: Bryce Komae! In addition to being Hunter's best friend, Bryce is a volunteer worship leader at his church. How does he navigate worship "leading", even though he's not a pastor? What is the worship culture like at his church? What does his week look like when he's navigating a worship set on Sunday and a full-time job? We hope you enjoy this episode!

Hunter and Shawn talk about Coastline's new teaching series: Good Posture. What was the heart behind this series? What's the hope for a series like this? What do we think about chiropractors? All of this and more on this episode of the Coastline Covenant Podcast!

In this episode of our "How to Worship" podcast series, Hunter and Michael are joined by Emily Hamilton from the band For All Seasons! They talk about Emily's journey as a touring Christian musician, her vulnerability as a worship leader, and the direction sees worship music heading.

For All Seasons is the real deal! Check them out on Spotify!

Hunter and Michael couldn't get on track this week for a new episode, but they've planned a few more in this series that will certainly be worth the wait! Until then, go back and listen to any episodes you've missed, send your Mount Rushmores, and get excited!

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 vulnerable with God and others, and how a time of singing at church can be the place where vulnerability really grows.

Finally, Hunter and Michael discuss the place for “self-focused” worship songs and their amount of helpfulness when encouraging people to be vulnerable.

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 this episode of How to Worship, Hunter and Michael talk about those hard times, and how our worship posture should or should not change in the midst of trials. In between discussing various Psalms and the example of Jesus' life and crucifixion, Hunter and Michael recognize the importance of honesty and vulnerability in worship, regardless of whatever circumstances you may be facing. The idea of vulnerability is expansive, which is we're going to spend all of next week's episode talking about it in length!

“God created melody and music in such a way that pulls on and stirs human emotions like nothing else can.” - Davey Flowers.

That quote is the thesis of this week’s episode of How to Worship, where Hunter and Michael spend most of the time talking about worship music and Scripture’s command to sing. They also discuss some of the thorny and challenging lyrics in some of our worship songs, the role that emotions play in our worship, and the importance of singing together in a church setting.

This episode is the best of both worlds: not only do we get to hear a lot of the theological reasons for worshipping through music, but we also get to hear a lot about Michael’s process and his mentality as he chooses worship sets for church.
