The Table Podcast: Gospel Conversations

S4: Episode 2 - Peace & Persecution

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. In Peace & Persecution, we reflect on Jesus’ words, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” and the call to pursue reconciliation, mercy, and the peace of Christ in our relationships and communities. We also wrestle with the reality that following Jesus faithfully can lead to misunderstanding, resistance, and even persecution.

S4: Episode 1 - Pull Up a Seat on the Mountainside

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. Together, we explore how the Beatitudes invite us into a new way of living, one shaped by the gospel, and what it really looks like to live as citizens of this upside-down kingdom.

S3: Episode 13 - Priorities in Prayer

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.

S3: Episode 12 - Have You Not Read?: A Discussion on Marriage

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 understanding of marriage in Scripture and to cling to our spouses according to God’s design, where love, sacrifice, and faithfulness image the gospel itself.

S3: Episode 11 - Maintaining Altitude

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 elevated and the struggles of this life grow strangely small.
