This week on Table Talk, Pastor Dan, Kelsey, and Aleah tackle a fiery question that comes up every October:

Can Christians celebrate Halloween?

They dive deep into Scripture, history, and real-life application — uncovering what Halloween was meant to be, how culture twisted it, and what followers of Jesus should do about it today.

From tithing and treasure in heaven to redeeming what the enemy meant for evil, this episode is full of conviction, humor, and hope.

👀 You’ll hear:

Why tithing isn’t about legalism — it’s about lordship.

What Jesus really meant when He said, “Where your treasure is, your heart will be also.”

How to redeem Halloween without glorifying darkness.

Why fear has no place in the life of a believer.

And how to use moments like Halloween to share the Gospel, not hide from the world.

“We are not called to celebrate darkness. We’re called to invade it with light.”

This one’s packed with truth bombs, laughter, and a reminder that holiness isn’t hiding — it’s shining.

In this week’s episode of Table Talk, Pastor Dan and Kelsey tackle one of the most misunderstood teachings in Scripture:

👉 What did Jesus actually mean when He said “turn the other cheek”?

From Matthew 5 to Romans 13, the team breaks down the biblical difference between personal responsibility and governmental authority. This isn’t theory — it’s the foundation for understanding justice, mercy, and why chaos reigns when culture blurs the two.

You’ll hear:

Why Jesus’ call to forgiveness doesn’t mean the state should ignore justice.

The biblical role of government (and why God designed checks and balances).

Why socialism, lawlessness, and “cashless bail” all miss the mark.

How the Bible directly shaped America’s three branches of government.

What capital punishment, self-defense, and immigration look like through a Christian worldview.

And the wild story of how telling someone at Taco Bell “Jesus loves you” turned into a powerful teaching moment on evangelism.

This episode’s a deep dive into theology, culture, and truth — all with the humor, conviction, and real talk you’ve come to expect from the Table Talk crew.

Because Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law — He came to fulfill it.

In this episode of Table Talk with Pastor Dan and Kelsey, the conversation gets real — fast.

We dive into one of the most countercultural truths of our time: what happens when we start trusting the government more than God.

From socialism and personal responsibility to Scripture taken out of context, Pastor Dan doesn’t hold back. The team tackles tough questions like:

Has our culture replaced the Provider with the provision?

Is socialism compassion, or control?

What does the Bible actually say about work, freedom, and generosity?

How should Christians respond to abortion, family breakdown, and cultural compromise?

This isn’t your feel-good devotional — it’s a call back to biblical truth in a world that’s lost its anchor.

Because the Gospel doesn’t bend to culture. It confronts it.

In this episode of Table Talk, Pastor Dan and Kelsey reflect on New Life Church’s ninth birthday and Baptism Sunday, celebrating God’s faithfulness through salvations and changed lives. They also dive into the Beatitudes, exploring what it means to live the good life in God’s kingdom—even through mourning, persecution, and spiritual poverty.

In this episode of Table Talk, Pastor Dan and Kelsey unpack faith like a mustard seed, the reality of spiritual gifts today, and why the name of Jesus still has power over darkness. They also tackle tough questions about healing, spiritual warfare, and taking personal responsibility for sin.

In this episode of Table Talk, Pastor Dan and Kelsey dive into repentance, redemption, and the cost of following Jesus in today’s world. From cultural chaos and violence to the hope of the gospel, they unpack how God’s presence brings light into darkness and what it truly means to live boldly for Christ
