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 to engage with Christians all around the world. Again, huge thanks to Suzie!

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 should Hunter's new catch phrase be?"

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 Destruction of the Canaanites: God, Genocide, and Biblical Interpretation. 

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!

Welcome to the final episode of the Advent Christmas series! Hunter and Michael go deep on Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee but only after they talk about one hit wonders and the song The Final Countdown. But seriously: this is a GREAT episode with so much wisdom and depth. We hope you enjoy it and have enjoyed our deep dives into your favorite Christmas songs!

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!

Hunter, Michael, and special guest Rachel Gonzales talk contemporary Christmas songs, a capella music, Christmas movies that Rachel may or may not have starred in, and the complicated Christmas classic, "O Holy Night." 

Stream Rachel's album Lesson Learned right here on Spotify or wherever you listen to music!

We're back with not only our first episode in a while, but also the first episode of our annual Christmas series! Join us each week as we take an in-depth look at some of the most popular Christmas hymns. On this episode Hunter and Michael welcome special returning guest Andrew Faris to talk about Charles Wesley's hymn, "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus." Enjoy!
