    Is Prayer the Same In the Old Testament?
    Things have changed a LOT since ancient days... or have they really? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ ๐Ÿค” This time, join the table as Steve, Luke, and Shannon discuss the implications of the question, "What was prayer like back then?" Throughout the Old Testament, we assume that prayer is a deeply-rooted practice - but we never see it instituted, let alone explained before Jesus... So what's the deal?? Listen in, and find out how the answer affects YOUR prayer life. Happy listening, Table Tribe! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

    What Kept You In Church?
    So... what actually keeps you in church? ๐Ÿค” In this episode, Luke and Emmerson get real โ€” anti-traditionalism, people being baptised young (too young?), the "sheltered kid curse", and the pivotal role of present or absent mentors. Is staying in church about traditionโ€ฆ rebellionโ€ฆ responsibilityโ€ฆ or something deeper? We talk faith thatโ€™s forced vs faith thatโ€™s formed, and what happens when children are given space to build their own relationship with God. This episode is honest. A little cheeky. And ultimately - deeply encouraging. Pull up a chair, Table Tribe, and happy listening! ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ”ฅ

Then join a topic-weaving discussion on psychedelics, our favourite neolithic structures, mango-flavoured honey... and more. Happy listening, Table Tribe ๐ŸŽง

    We Let an Agnostic Ask Us Anything...
    ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Three Christians + an agnostic friend = a stellar conversation?! โœจ Welcome back, Table Tribe, to our latest episode. This week we welcome our friend/co-worker Rick, who helps us get to the real questions: โ“ Is the Bible valid, and how do we know? What is the ideal character of a god, if one exists? What's up with forbidden fruit, and how do love and free will factor in? How is theology like understanding a car motor? Why do people die for the Bible? And how easy is it to say "praise the Lord"? ๐Ÿ˜‚ We bounce everywhere, while also feeling like we barely scratched the surface (Part 2 pending...!). Curious? Listen in! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

    Did God Really Choose Your Career?
    ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ What do sheep fleece and career have in common? Apparently quite a bit! In a short pause from our Matthew 24 series, we pick up the hot topic: career. When choosing a job, how is God involved? And what does that even look like? Buckle up! This episode, we jump from personal testimonies (how WE chose our careers) to Biblical examples (Abraham, Gideon, and more). Plus, what do we do with doubt, and how can we view God's kindness amidst it all? Chuck in some laughs along the way, and you've got our latest episode. Tune in, Table Tribe! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

    What Does It Mean to Be "Ready"? | Matthew 24: Part 2
    ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ The biggest event of history is coming... with no due date?? In this episode, we continue exploring Jesus' words in Matthew 24: "So you also must be ready - because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." What does readiness REALLY mean? How do we stay awake even when life is busy? And what does "unreadiness" look like in real life? ๐Ÿ‘€ Wondering how to live between the "now" and "not yet"? You're in the right place. Tune in, Table Tribe! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

    Persecution, Deception & Witnessing | Matthew 24: Part 1
    The Table is back! ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ It's Bible Study time - prophecies, anyone? This week, we delve into Jesus' speech in Matthew 24. Warnings of deception, promises of persecution, and metaphorical "birth pains"... How do we make sense of these words, let alone apply it?? ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿค” Come with us as we open the Bible and reason with it as we know best. Are "signs of the end" a warning flag, or a circumstance to endure? Why are Christians the biggest deceivers of other Christians? How to interpret the promise of the Gospel going worldwide? And, how should we approach "undercover Christianity" and political climate swings? It's a fun one. Happy listening, Table Tribe ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Join us as we crack open the Good Book - it's time for a good old-fashioned Bible study. Today, we explore Exodus 16: Salty water, Quail, and Sabbath. What can we observe, interpret, and apply? Listen in as we find things in common with tummy-grumbling Israelites (which is more than we'd like to admit)... We hope this episode leaves you hungrier for truth! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Happy listening, Table Tribe ๐ŸŽง
