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.

S3E1 Faith that Sticks: Raising Kids Who Truly Know and Love God
Teaching your kids about Jesus isn’t just about Sunday school answers—it’s about walking hand-in-hand with them toward a real relationship with God. In this episode, the On the Table crew talks about how to guide your children from curiosity to confidence: answering their “whys” before doubts take root, showing them that God is their loving Creator, and modeling authentic grace, faith, and love every day. You’ll hear why living your faith openly (not hypocritically) matters more than ever, how to share your testimonies with impact, and why skepticism isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a roadblock. This is about being “all in” with Jesus so your kids know He’s real, trustworthy, and present in their lives so they, too, may enter adulthood “all in” with Jesus.
