Coastline Covenant Podcast

On January 11th, Shawn and Garrick provided some exciting news about a potential church building that Coastline can call home. They shared a ton of information at a town hall meeting after church. We know that many weren't able to attend, so they decided to jump on the podcast to share what was shared at the meeting: why this building seems promising, what obstacles are on the horizon, how you can pray with us, and more!

This process is long and uncertain, but we want to be transparent, so if you have any questions or thoughts after this episode, please reach out to Shawn or Garrick!

For the first episode in our yearlong series Our Story: The Bible Together, Hunter sits down with Family Theologian Andrew Faris to talk about the story of the Bible by tracing individual themes across Scripture towards the main point of the Bible: Jesus.

Andrew also provides some helpful information about what the Bible actually is, how we got the Bible, and why you can trust the Bible. They also discuss their favorite stories, sparkling water, and New Year’s Resolutions.

For the next episode, make sure you have read Genesis 1-2,Psalm 8, John 1:1-5, and Colossians 1:15-20! And as always, if you want to leave a voice memo with any questions, comments, or reflections, you can do that right here or email Hunter at [email protected]

Merry Christmas! As a gift to you, Hunter and Nikki sat down to talk about the new Knives Out mystery, Wake Up Dead Man. Beyond just being a fun movie, this film contains some really interesting and beautiful ideas about following Jesus, which is why we thought it'd be fun to talk about it! Warning: we spoil Knives Out, Arrival, and a lot of other stuff :)

We're changing everything! Take a listen to hear why we're shifting gears and how you can be involved! We're SO excited and we hope that you join us in this journey!

All 6 of the Coastline Staff Members talk about what they’rethankful for, God’s generosity in their lives, and their favorite parts about Thanksgiving. But don’t worry, they also discuss things like answered prayers, makeup, the Old Testament, Thanksgiving pet peeves, what a Coastline Parade Float would look like, and who could take Luke in a fight (and who Luke thinks he could take in a fight). Thanks for listening!

All 6 of us are hopping on the podcast next week, and we thought it'd be fun to answer some listener questions. Email any and all questions, comments, and/or concerns to [email protected]! Thanks!

Shawn and Hunter talk about Coastline's newest sermon series, Give Thanks. But they also talk about a gazillion other things, as is customary with these two.

Hunter interviews Kevin Weiner, who is the Director of Missions and Mercy at Reality Los Angeles for our final episode in our Imperfect Line series. They discuss pickle ball, collegiate soccer, and the nature of podcasts. However, more importantly, they discuss Kevin's journey from Mira Costa student to UCLA goalie to being on staff at a "cool" church. Then, they talk about the risky nature of mercy, the importance of intimacy before ministry, and how being an effective witness for the kingdom in any circumstance is the nature of missions.

Obviously, this conversation was a blast, and we hope you enjoy it!

What do you think about the youth of America? They're on the phones too much? They're annoying? They are isolated? Lonely? Not religious anymore?

Hunter set out to ask some students at Coastline Youth that very question: what do you think adults think about you, and where are they right? What followed were several conversations that ended up becoming a really special episode of the Coastline Covenant Podcast.

Hunter chats with Lorrie Tom about how the universality of creativity. They discuss why creativity is important, the false dichotomy between being "creative" or "analytical", artists they respond to, radical authenticity, and Harry Styles!
