Jimmy’s Table Podcast

Why is President Joe Biden so strongly disliked by Americans and the Democrat Party, even though he received a record number of votes less than 2 years ago? In this podcast, I explore how our broken voting philosophies keep giving us politicians we so strongly dislike.

Recently the Supreme Court overturned the previously recognized right of a woman to have an abortion. And a lot of people are upset, but as it turns out, not as upset as one would expect. In this podcast, I look at the practical ramifications of this case, and why it ultimately doesn't really matter all that much (and why we know this to be the case).

I think we all have a yearning for a place to call our "forever home." Whether or not we get what we long for is another matter altogether. In this podcast, I talk about my journey, suddenly having to find a new place to live, and identifying with the Biblical patriarch Abraham, whose heart 's desire caused him to live the rest of his life out of a tent...

I've never gone on a solo vacation, and I've never been on a cruise. Recently, I decided to do both a solo vacation and a cruise! In this podcast I talk about my experiences on a Carnival Cruise to the Bahamas, and my subsequent battle with COVID-19.

"We don't have a gun problem, we have a heart problem." But is that actually the case? In light of the recent mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo, I question this common idea. I believe we ultimately have more than an a heart problem. We also have a gun problem...

What will hell be like? The idea of hell is something most people find objectionable. After all, how could a good and loving God send people to hell? Didn't Jesus pay the price for our sins and forgive us? In this podcast, I ask hard questions about hell, and attempt to provide a fresh insight into what hell is, and what it is not.

Recently on the way back home from the coffee shop just a couple miles from my house, I got lost. Twice. Each time I went down the right road, but in the wrong direction. As I reflected upon the experience, I felt this moment begin to speak to me. In this podcast, I wrestle with how this might speak to me, and perhaps how it could speak to you...

"I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Josh Harris represented the height of "purity culture" in the Evangelical church. Its teachings, and some of its more extreme practices, have largely died. But with its death, what can the church look to say that speaks to the deepest longings of our hearts about human sexuality? In this podcast, I look to move beyond purity culture...

Do you believe in soulmates? Has the universe or God predestined you to be with just one special person? In this podcast, I explore the idea of a soulmate in our culture, and look at how the gift of marriage is better than the soulmate mythology...

Christianity has become really good at reducing the mystery of faith to magical formulas of mathematical exactitude. But, in trying to make everything so certain, we might just be destroying the faith we claim to ultimately believe in and preach. In this podcast, I talk about how we need a faith that's a little less certain...
