On the Table
On the Table is your go-to for thought-provoking and honest conversations that challenge conventional thinking, inspire faithful exploration, and offer a fresh perspective on subjects often unexplored and questions frequently left unanswered. We’re not afraid to tackle the tough, taboo topics that others shy away from. If you’re ready for honest dialogue and fresh inspiration, pull up a seat and join the conversation. Our discussions are unscripted and passionate. We are not perfect, and sometimes we say things we would like to take back, but we leave it in the podcast because we want to be transparent, authentic, and model to our listeners that we believe we are truly in God's grace, not restrained by the pressure to perform. We encourage you to be like the Bereans in Acts 17 who took everything they heard back to scripture. Be like a Berean.

S2E12 Parenting with Grace: Because Kids Aren’t Perfect (and Neither Are We)
In this heartfelt episode of On the Table, the team dives into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming world of parenting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough for your kids… you’re not alone. But the truth is, parenting was never meant to be about perfection. It’s about grace. We talk about what it looks like to parent with authenticity, to repair relationships instead of pretending their flawless, and to explain the “why” behind decisions so our kids grow in wisdom and compassion. We explore how grace invites conversation, builds trust, and helps you see the heart behind your child’s behavior. You’re not just raising kids – you’re helping launch people into their God-given missions. Tune in and be encouraged: there’s grace for you here, and your kids too.
