The Table Podcast: Gospel Conversations

In this episode of  The Table , we continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount by exploring Matthew 5:27–30. Together, we examine how our hearts, eyes, and imaginations are deeply intertwined, and why Jesus teaches that what our eyes pursue reveals what our hearts treasure. As we consider His teaching on lust and sexual immorality, we seek to heed His call to deal radically with sin, trus...

In this episode of  The Table , we continue our journey through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount by exploring Matthew 5:21–26. Jesus takes the command, "You shall not murder," and drives it far deeper than outward actions, straight into the attitudes and affections of the heart. Join us as we examine what it means to urgently confront anger, contempt, and bitterness, and discover why follo...

As we continue through the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Matthew 5:13–20 and Jesus' call for His people to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. What does it look like to live as distinct kingdom citizens, and how does Jesus' fulfillment of the Law shape our understanding of righteousness and obedience? Join us as we consider how the gospel keeps us salty and lit.

In this episode of  The Table , we continue our journey through the Beatitudes of Matthew 5 as we explore what it means to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom in a world marked by conflict and opposition.

Season 4 of  The Table  begins a season-long journey through the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew’s Gospel. In this opening episode, we step into the Beatitudes, where Jesus paints a surprising picture of what it means to belong to the kingdom of God.

In this episode of  The Table , we turn to John 17 to let Jesus’ own prayer shape ours. We focus on five priorities He names: that we would be kept from the evil one, sanctified in the truth, sent on mission, and united as one — all grounded in the reality that Jesus consecrated Himself for us! Join us as we consider how these anchors can reorder and deepen the way we pray.

In this episode of The Table , we turn to the Gospel of Matthew chapter 19, where Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees with a loaded question about divorce. Rather than engaging in a debate over allowances, Jesus redirects them to God’s original design for marriage—“Have you not read?”—pointing back to creation and to the Author of marriage Himself. Join us as we unpack what it means to anchor our...

In this episode of The Table, we explore how theology is so much more than an academic exercise—it is the means by which we maintain a lofty view of God. When our vision of Him is too small, sins feel inescapable and the pressures of life loom large. Join us as we discuss how God’s Word is meant to keep us captivated by His greatness, lifting us to higher altitudes where our view of Him is elevate...

In this episode of The Table , we look at Isaiah 44 and the ongoing problem of idolatry. While the idols may look different today, the impulse is the same—we take good gifts and try to make them ultimate. Whether it’s success, relationships, or money, these things can never deliver or satisfy as gods. Through Isaiah’s words, Scripture exposes the emptiness of our idols and points us back to the on...

In a world dominated by texts, emails, and digital distance, the apostle John reminds us that some things can’t be communicated from afar. As he closes 2 and 3 John , he expresses a desire to be face to face , “so that our joy may be complete.” In this episode of The Table , we explore why presence still matters and what it looks like to trade impersonal connection for in-person relationships that...

In this episode of The Table , we talk about the deep hunger among God’s people for clear, gospel-centered teaching of the Scriptures—a craving for Christ Himself. Reflecting briefly on a recent Clarity Conference in Cameroon, we’re reminded that this longing for gospel clarity isn’t limited to one place or culture—it’s shared by believers everywhere. Our conversation explores what it means to pre...

In this episode of The Table , we continue our discussion around Mitchell’s new book, Broken Cisterns – From the Crack House to the Church House: The Same Thirst, The Same Savior. Focusing on Chapters 6–9, Mitchell shares how each chapter’s message flows from his own lived experiences and the transformative stories of those around him. Together, we unpack how the Gospel is not just a momentary sto...

In Part I, Mitchell shares what inspired him to write the book, the personal experiences and family stories that shaped it, and the deeper message woven through its opening c...

In this episode of The Table , we look at the final years of King Hezekiah’s life in Isaiah 39. Though God graciously granted him 15 more years, Hezekiah spent them focused on temporal gains rather than eternal impact. His short-sightedness left the next generation unprepared for what was to come. His story challenges us to consider how we’re using our own time—are we investing in fleeting comfort...

In this episode of  The Table , we turn to 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and consider the race of faith every believer is called to run. Just as athletes train with discipline for a crown that fades, we are called to pursue an imperishable crown with intentionality, perseverance, and hope. Together, we’ll explore what it means to daily prepare, run with purpose, and press on until the finish line—when we...

In this episode of The Table , we turn to John 13 and other passages of Scripture to reflect on the breathtaking reality that Christ came not to be served, but to serve. From washing His disciples’ feet to laying down His life, Jesus’ constant service to us becomes the source and strength of our service to Him and to others. Join us as we consider how the gospel continues to transform the way we l...

In a world filled with so much pain and trial, how do we endure without losing heart? In this episode of  The Table , we look to 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 and 1 Peter 1:3–7, where we see that our strength is not found in ourselves but in Christ, our Living Hope. God gives purpose in the midst of pain, using trials to refine our faith. We see that His strength guards us for the eternal glory to come, l...

We’re back at  The Table  for Season 3! In this first episode, we return to one of the most foundational passages for our pursuit of gospel clarity—1 Corinthians 15. This text has shaped so many of our conversations and continues to anchor our understanding of the gospel. Join us as we reflect, re-center, and revisit of first importance the message that defines and drives all we do.

In this episode of The Table , we go back to Genesis 3 to find some fresh insights from one of the most pivotal moments in Scripture, the fall in the garden. We explore the subtle schemes of the enemy and how he works to clear the path for sin, using distortion and doubt to draw hearts away from God. Join us as we reflect on the warnings and the hope that still echo from Eden.

In this episode we dive into the deep significance of baptism, not just as a symbol but as a personal, powerful response to Christ’s call. We explore why answering that call individually matters and how baptism marks the beginning of a life lived in obedience to Jesus. We also talk about our role in discipling others, encouraging them to take this step of faith and continue walking in faithful obe...

Join us for a meaningful conversation filled with personal reflections, spiritual insight, and a fresh perspective on God's heart for His people.

In this episode of  The Table , we explore the powerful role of song in the life of God's people. From the Psalms to the New Testament, Scripture consistently calls believers to sing, not just as an act of worship, but as a means through which God accomplishes incredible work among His people. We dive into how singing strengthens faith, unites the church, reminds us of God's promises and reinforce...

God designed His church to be “attractional”—but not in the way many might think. It’s not about big events led by dynamic worship leaders and eloquent speakers. Rather, it’s about our love for one another. In this episode, we dive into Ephesians 4 and explore attractional evangelism through the lens of church unity. We discuss how maintaining unity serves as a powerful witness to the world of the...

In this episode of The Table , we explore God's unwavering zeal for the holiness of His temple. Join us as we discuss passages from 1 Corinthians 6, Leviticus 10, and more, examining how God's desire for purity and reverence in His dwelling place transcends both time and context.

In this episode of  The Table , we explore various passages, including John 8, to examine the marks of a true disciple of Jesus. We discuss how Jesus emphasizes that being His disciple isn't just about a strong start but about our continuing to abide in Him. In a culture where it’s easy to claim the label of "Christian," we reflect on what Jesus says truly defines those who belong to...
