Welcome to the final episode of 2021 AND the final episode of our Christmas Hymn series!

Hunter, Michael, and VERY special guest Mary Beth Eroen discuss "Joy to the World", in addition to the role of children's choir in Christmas, what makes Christmas joyful, and everything in between. Make sure you listen closely as we have a special guest drop in and apologize to Mary Beth over things said in the past (about "Mary Did You Know?"). 

Thanks SO much for listening this year, and we're excited to keep bringing you the Coastline Covenant Podcast in 2022!

OUR LONGEST EPISODE YET! In the third week of our Advent song series, Hunter, Michael, and special guest Andrew Faris discuss Christmas traditions through the eyes of children, musicians like Vulfpeck and Warren Zevon, and "Mary, Did You Know?" Then they discuss "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", Charles Wesley, and the beauty of hymns. Nothing says Christmas spirit like... welkin? Listen and find out!

Welcome to week 2 of our Advent series! Hunter, Nikki, and Michael go DEEP on "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." The trio discuss Christmas in Minnesota, Christmas trees, and the etiquette of returning Christmas gifts. After listening to Future of Forestry's incredible version of the song (we love it, please don't sue us!), they discuss the minor keys of life, its unique structure, and Psalms of disorientation. This conversation is long... but it ROCKS. Merry Christmas!

Welcome to Advent on the Coastline Covenant Podcast! Each week this December, Hunter, Michael, and some specials guests are taking a deep dive into Christmas hymns that you know and love.

There's a depth to Christmas that these songs help us enter into, and we can't wait to reflect on, respond to, and remind ourselves of the true reality of this season. 

This week, Hunter, Michael, and Shawn talk about "O Come All Ye Faithful". We talk about the theological background of the song, the history of the song, and the incredibly profound truth that this song invites us into. Come for the Honda Days talk, but stay for Michael's incredible reflections. 

Thanks for listening and Merry Christmas!

Join Hunter for a quick Thanksgiving devotional about grace, food, and one of his favorite movies. 

This is a very different episode: it's meant to be listened to as you would a devotional or a quiet time guide. Put it on when you have some space today or any day! We hope you enjoy it, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

All SIX of the Coastline Staff sit down and discuss the biblical concept of thanksgiving, as well as the holiday of Thanksgiving! We talk traditions, memories, theology, and what we're thankful for. This episode was a BLAST to record and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Happy Thanksgiving from Coastline Covenant!

Shawn and Hunter discuss Shawn's sermon on Halloween at Coastline: a sermon about fear, Jesus' triumph on the Cross, and the way that Satan lies to us. There's depth, humor, and a lot of nerdiness! Hope you enjoy, and we'll see you next week and every week after that!

Join Hunter and Michael as they discuss their reflections from their conversation with Dr. Strobel, honesty before God in prayer, and a recap of the prayer trainings that Michael has been leading for members of our Coastline Family. Stay through to the end for more information on our NEW PODCAST: Coastline Covenant Book Club, where we're reading Where Prayer Becomes Real by Kyle Strobel and John Coe together in the beginning of 2022! More information on that to come! 

Hunter here with a request: GO BACK AND LISTEN TO THE PAST TWO WEEKS. If you've already listened, listen again! We have a lot of stuff coming soon that launches out of our conversation with Dr. Strobel, so we want everyone to have listened. And if you think this might be a helpful resource for some, send it their way! We want as many people as possible to hear Dr. Strobel's wisdom surrounding growth as a Christian.

Be on the lookout for some fun stuff next week... and every week after that!

Here's the conclusion of Hunter and Michael's conversation with Dr. Kyle Strobel. In this episode, the conversation takes on a communal focus, as we discuss how we can abide in Christ in community. Kyle also talks about prayer, along with his impetus for his new book Where Prayer Becomes Real, which you can get here. 

We are so thankful for Dr. Strobel for his wisdom and his time. This is a valuable conversation that Michael and Hunter will continue next week!
