We're SO excited to bring you this conversation with Susan Johnson, the founder of South Bay Soul Care. We talk about what spiritual direction is, who it's for, and what you can expect should you choose to sign up...

... and you SHOULD choose to sign up because Coastline believes in spiritual direction so much that we're offering to pick up the tab for your first session. Want to know more? Listen to the full episode and then head to our website.

Happy Lent! Happy Tuesday! Hunter and Garrick are kicking off the Lent season here at Coastline by giving you a primer on our Lent series: Layers. Garrick and Hunter get into all the different ways that Coastline is inviting you to step in to transformation. It starts with our Ash Wednesday service, which is on February 14th (aka Valentine's Day) at 7:30pm in the Sanctuary at St. Andrew's.

Also, Garrick mentions Dr. John Coe's Spiritual Formation lecture series. You can find those here.

In our final episode of our Surviving the South Bay podcast series, I sat down with the Lead Pastor of Calvary Chapel Palos Verdes, Daniel Hendrickson. In a familiar location Daniel and I discuss his story, his journey to the South Bay, some of the strongholds he and I both see, and of course... the local's only Lightning Round!

Thanks to everyone who has participated and engaged with this series. It was a true joy to be able to bring you these conversations!

Loved this conversation with Mike Dsane from King's Harbor. We talk about how he came to South Bay several years ago, what his journey has been like as a pastor in a church like King's Harbor, his hope for church planting and a lot more! We recorded this in King Harbor's new studio, so if you're hearing a bit of room noise, that's why! Either way: I can't recommend this episode more!

Absolutely loved talking to Jason Cusick from Journey of Faith! We discuss his story, his methodology behind some of the ministry that Journey of Faith does, and his views on ‘being a normal person.’ Come for the Star Wars talk, stay for the Locals Only Lightning Round!

In the next episode of our Surviving the South Bay Series, I sat down with Brittany Park from Remembrance Community Church in Lomita, CA. We talk about our history together, her call to ministry, and how Jesus offers us the good life despite our efforts to try and define that for ourselves.

In our first conversation with different pastors from different churches in the South Bay, Hunter sits down with Bill MacPhee from the River Church. They discuss Bill's journey to the South Bay, his views on the unique strongholds and sins of the area, and wrap everything up with a rousing entry into the Locals Only Lightning Round.

Happy 2024, Coastline! We're excited to kick off the new year with a brand new teaching series: Surviving the South Bay. Over the next several weeks, we're going to take a look at some of the unique sins and strongholds that exist in our community and look for ways that we can root ourselves in the kingdom instead in our dominant culture. This will be challenging and stretching, but we think that it'll ultimately be great.

On this episode of the podcast, Hunter and Shawn talk about doomsday prepping, the unique nature of the South Bay, the intricacies of this teaching series, and introduce a new segment called the Locals Only Lightning Round!

Join all 6 of the full-time Coastline Staff members as they discuss the year that was: the highs, the lows, and all the pickle ball you could possibly handle.

Merry Christmas! As a gift, we've decided to give you one last episode of our Christmas Hymn conversation... but instead of a deep, theological, timeless song, we discuss Mariah Carey's 1994 stone cold classic "All I Want for Christmas is You."

Thanks for listening, Merry Christmas, and we'll see you next week and every single week after that!
