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.
