A Word at the Table

There are so many choices and decisions to make in life. We begin to ask ourselves, what are the consequences? Did I do the right thing? Sometimes we jump into making decisions without thinking or if we're unsure we don't make a decision at all. In this episode we discuss putting God first before making a decision. In doing so you will always get the answer you need.

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult things to do. What are we supposed to do with the pain associated with offenses from people? How do we move past the pain to forgive someone? To answer these questions, we begin by describing the process of forgiveness: defining it, how to put it into action, why we do it and the steps we try to take to execute it in our lives.

Today, we're featuring two guests in our podcasts and discussing the importance of the word. Filling yourself up with the good word is a must. There are many texts in the Bible that stress the importance of being spiritually fed. Receiving the word is crucial to our existence and well-being. We discuss how the word impacts our lives and the different ways we receive the word of God.

When we fast, it is of utmost importance to fast with purpose and not do it out of habit, where it may lose its meaning. Our intention when fasting should be to have communion with God. To be closer to him. To hear his voice and gain direction in whatever matters we may be facing. Our focus when we fast should be on God, not on ourselves. We should have joy in fasting, not have long faces so that people can pity us.

The book of Leviticus in the Old Testament is chock-full of laws and regulations about how to offer sacrifices to God and how to approach the Ark of the Covenant. Today, we live under God’s grace and not under the law, but do you ever wonder if the intentions behind your offerings/sacrifices to God are aligned with His word? Is there a proper way to give an offering? Join us as we discuss God’s punishment of Aaron and his sons after they disobeyed God’s instructions and offered unauthorized fire before Him.

We’re taught to soothe pain. We shy away from it, resist it, or find ways to medicate it. Pain is not pleasant and most of us don't enjoy it because it obviously hurts. But have you ever thought about why we must feel pain. Join us on our third episode as we explore this topic.

This week we explore the dangers of an idle mind. Phil. 4:8. The devil's playground can be very powerful. Make sure your mindset is focused on God. Temptation will be easy to fall into. Sometimes it's not the enemy... it might just be our idle mind.

This is a pre-recorded episode of A Word at the Table. In this episode we discuss Luke 24, the third day after Jesus' death. We explore the question of faith and doubt, and why we tend to have memory lapses of God's goodness while we go through hard times. God's promises for us are real, but we sometimes struggle to believe them for ourselves.

Our new podcast A Word at the Table consists of a series of conversations that take place between 3 friends. We discuss life, the bible, and how we tackle every day struggles. SUBSCRIBE!

Our first full episode will launch on August 14th. Give us a listen and enjoy!
