Hebrews 6 has scared Christians for years - but what if it’s not warning you about losing salvation at all? In this episode, the On the Table team unpacks the “falling away” passages and shows how the real danger isn’t sin… it’s going back to self-righteousness.

We talk about what it means to change your mind (repentance), why salvation depends on Jesus alone, and how we can boldly approach the throne of grace without fear.

We’ve all recited the Lord’s Prayer - but have we really grasped its depth through the lens of grace? In this episode, the On the Table team unpacks what it means to hallow God’s name and to pray, “Lead us not into temptation.” We explore how God’s name is made holy in us not through our striving or perfection, but through His love and grace at work in our lives. Jesus, the true hero, was led into temptation and overcame it on our behalf. His victory is ours, and as we rest in Him, His name is glorified in us.

In this episode, the On the Table crew unpacks 1 Peter — Scripture often used to tell believers to “try harder.” But is that really what Peter meant? We look at how translation, context, and grace all intersect in this exhortation to “be holy.” Spoiler: holiness isn’t about striving in the flesh — it’s about walking in the Spirit and living from what Jesus has already made true of us.

If you’ve ever been told your sin separates you from God, Isaiah 59 might surprise you. Verse 2 isn’t the bad news we’ve made it—it’s the setup for the Good News.
By the time you reach verse 20, Isaiah reveals the Redeemer who bridges the gap we could never cross ourselves. In this episode, the On the Table team steps through how context and a full reading changes everything: why believers cannot be separated from God, why unbelief—not sin—is what creates detachment, and how Jesus is the answer Isaiah was pointing to all along. God’s not walking away from you. He’s running toward you.

If the gospel you’re hearing doesn’t sound like good news, it isn’t the real gospel.
 In this episode, the On the Table team unpacks what the Gospel of Grace truly is—and why focusing on sin, striving, or “earning” favor with God muddies the message. We talk about how Jesus already put away sin, how righteousness is a gift, and how walking in grace frees us from hypocrisy and shame. You’ll discover that grace isn’t soft on sin—it’s strong in love. When we live from that truth, the good news feels like what it was always meant to be: good.

Teaching your kids about Jesus isn’t just about Sunday school answers—it’s about walking hand-in-hand with them toward a real relationship with God. In this episode, the On the Table crew talks about how to guide your children from curiosity to confidence: answering their “whys” before doubts take root, showing them that God is their loving Creator, and modeling authentic grace, faith, and love every day. You’ll hear why living your faith openly (not hypocritically) matters more than ever, how to share your testimonies with impact, and why skepticism isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a roadblock. This is about being “all in” with Jesus so your kids know He’s real, trustworthy, and present in their lives so they, too, may enter adulthood “all in” with Jesus.

In this heartfelt episode of On the Table, the team dives into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming world of parenting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough for your kids… you’re not alone. But the truth is, parenting was never meant to be about perfection. It’s about grace. We talk about what it looks like to parent with authenticity, to repair relationships instead of pretending their flawless, and to explain the “why” behind decisions so our kids grow in wisdom and compassion. We explore how grace invites conversation, builds trust, and helps you see the heart behind your child’s behavior. You’re not just raising kids – you’re helping launch people into their God-given missions. Tune in and be encouraged: there’s grace for you here, and your kids too.

Long before Moses came down the mountain with the law, God had already promised a better covenant – one rooted in faith, not rules. In this episode of On the Table, the crew unpacks the timeline and purpose of the law, and how it was never meant to make anyone righteous. From the shame-inducing pressure of vague obedience to the subtle grip of legalism in today’s Christian culture, we challenge the false comfort of self-righteousness and point to the true commands of the New Covenant: love God and love others. If you’ve ever felt burdened by religion, confused about the law, or unsure where grace fits in, this conversation is for you.

Why did God give us free will? If He’s all-powerful and all-knowing, is the future already set in stone? In this episode, the team wrestles with some of the biggest questions: God’s sovereignty versus man’s will, the purpose of free will, and whether predestination leaves any room for choice. We ask if sin was created by God – or simply allowed – and explore the idea that a real relationship with God had to involve the possibility of rejecting Him. From predestination to the promise that God wills all to be saved, we’re putting it all On the Table as we talk candidly about free will.

What are your God-given sub-missions? The word submission has carried some serious baggage in Christian culture – often weaponized against women and misused in marriages. But what if Biblical submission has nothing to do with hierarchy and everything to do with love? In this episode of On the Table, the team unpacks the real meaning of submission through the lens of Jesus, who didn’t dominate, but served. We revisit the Garden, challenge selective readings of Paul, and explore how the curse was broken in Christ. This isn’t about control – it’s about mission, mutual support, and daily acts of Spirit-led sacrificial gifts that uplift others. Let’s talk about what it truly means to submit in a Kingdom where there is neither male nor female, but unity in Christ.
