Hunter and Garrick (ON VIDEO!) talk about emotional health, mean Jesus vs. stern Jesus, and the cost of being a disciple. They discuss the reality of not being able to fully live out our call as disciples alone and Garrick shares his true feelings about the new video setup. Next week we'll be looking at the Crucifixion of Jesus, so make sure to check out Matthew 26-27, and John 18-19.

Hunter sits down with each of the Coastline Staff to talk about their new offices, the Madison Street property, the move from Knob Hill, and what they would buy for their office if they had all the money in the world. We hope you enjoy hearing our excitement and passion about what God is going to do in this space, and we really mean it when we say we want you to drop by! We’ll be back with NEXT WEEK with a new episode in the series Our Story: The Bible, Together where we’re talking about Matthew 8-10 and Luke 9. Make sure you read those passages so you’re up-to-date with where we’re at!

An apology, an explanation, and a scheduling update... with video! See you next week and every week after that :)

THIS IS A "RE-UPLOAD!" or... the first time some of you are listening to this. Listen to the intro for more info. -- What do Chubby Checker, Bad Bunny, and The Sixth Sense have in common? Very little, as a matter of fact. But what does the Old Testament have in common with the New Testament? QUITE A LOT. That's exactly what Hunter and Family Theologian Andrew Faris talk about this week on the Coastline Podcast. As we finish up the Old Testament portion of our podcast, we wanted to talk about how we're going to talk about the New Testament. Andrew dives into the idea of typology, how our New Testament authors understood the Old Testament, and how you can read your Bible with both Testaments in mind (and why that's a great thing).

On Wednesday, August 19th, Coastline went before the City of Torrance Planning Commission to gain a conditional use permit for the Madison Street Property. Praise God that it was approved! The story is wild, so Hunter and Shawn spend a good amount of time recapping what happened, give major updates, and also thank the Coastline Community for their support. Then, they talk about the Sermon on the Mount's practicality, some of the more challenging statements, the degree to which our faith should change, and X-Men! Hunter is on vacation next week, so we'll be off until September 3rd. But to be caught up for that episode, make sure you read Matthew 8-10 and Luke 9.

Welcome to the New Testament! Michael joins Hunter to talk through the beginnings of Matthew and Luke. They discuss Mary's song and its Old Testament references, wrestling with inconsistencies in the Bible, following what Christ actually did, and what it means to store Jesus up in our heart.

WE COME TO THIS PLACE FOR MAGIC! (this place being theCoastline Covenant Podcast) Welcome to another MOVIE CLUB: a special series where Hunter and Nikki discuss movies both past and present from their faith perspectives. On this episode, they discuss the 1998 Jim Carrey film The Truman Show. They wonder if Truman is free, discuss whether Christof is the devil or God, and hypothesize about the first thing Truman did when he left Seahaven.  All this and discussions about the state of modern movies, Japanese reality television, Hunter’s emotional connection to the Truman Show, and how hard it is to get tickets for the Odyssey! We love doing these and hope you’re excited for acouple more over the next few months, but next week we are starting THE NEW TESTAMENT. If you want to be caught up (or start with us!) read Matthew 1-4 and Luke 1-2.

Hunter welcomes Lloyd Gilbert on the podcast to talk about the ending of the Old Testament. They discuss God's language being time, slowness vs. silence, and the way that the story of the Old Testament gives us meaning. However, if you know Lloyd you know we'll talk about a lot wild things like ostriches, the Twilight Zone, Finding Nemo, and Lloyd's review of Maeve. Next week we're talking to Andrew Faris about what is to come in the New Testament, so be on the lookout for that!

I am SICK so I couldn't get an episode set this week, but we're back next week with a special guest talking about the END OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. The passages for that are Malachi 3-4 and Isaiah 9, 11, 53. Thanks!

Hunter and Garrick talk about HOPE. They define it, talk about hope in our culture, hope in the Bible, and the hope found in Ezekiel 36-37 and Isaiah 40-43.
