Brian Hunter and Joel Richardson return to continue our conversation from Episode 6. How should Christians in the West navigate and handle mounting nationalism, a surging cultural influence of Islam, and yet walk in the way of the Cross?

Watch & listen to our latest episode of TABLE TALKS now.

The first installment of DEATH + KINGDOM drops Nov 21 wherever you stream your music. Meet the production team: Michael Maher (vocalist), Logan Murphy (producer), Tyson Ranes (illustrator), Joel Sorge (editor), and Stephanie Quick (writer). Hear how this concept was birthed, and why we chose the painstaking route of painting by hand when AI could’ve saved us two years.

And anyway, what’s more rock & roll than getting resurrected from the dead by the Son of Man coming on the clouds in power and glory? 

TABLE TALKS returns with Joel Richardson and pastor Brian Hunter of TRIBE Church in Jackson Hole, WY to discuss the impact of the last two years on society, culture, and the Christian body worldwide. As we celebrate the end of the war and return of the hostages, we remind ourselves there are sober days yet ahead. How do we bring clarity to the confusion of the world in gracious and Christlike ways, “all things to all people”?

Don’t miss this important conversation here.

Every disciple is meant to make disciples. But how accessible is obedience to this command, and how can we ensure we obey it responsibly? Bill Scofield and Holger Reinhardt join Episode 5 of TABLE TALKS to share how they have led table-centered fellowship, pursued new disciples, and serve their communities as fathers. In the end, making disciples is remarkably simple. It is not easy. But it is worth it.

One-third of the APOCALYPTIC GOSPEL podcast, John Harrigan, joins Stephanie Quick for an extensive conversation examining how “eschatology drives discipleship.” How do the stories we tell ourselves inform our lives, decisions, and doctrines? What do Muhammad and Pax Romana have in common, and what warnings can we glean for Christian leadership? What happens if we let Plato shape our understanding of King Jesus? And in light of the reckoning the Christian world, particularly charismatic streams, are experiencing over the last few years, what should we hold onto—and what should we get rid of?

We’re called to take up our cross, put our hand to the plow, and not look back—and if we do, per Jesus, we’re “not fit to serve in the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62, CJB). The upside in the “upside-down” Kingdom is that God puts our suffering to redemptive use. It also makes sense of our suffering, when we view life through the lens of the Scriptures. How did the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles handle the issues of deep and profound pain in light of the “good news”? Stephanie Quick is joined by Stephen Holmes and Reed Smith, the director of 49:TEN Films’ latest, ‘Sojourners & Exiles’ for a vibrant discussion surveying these questions and more.

The rising influence of Christian Nationalism in American Christendom is alarming for several reasons, notably for its comfortable relationship with antisemitism. Aaron Rich, Jordan Upton, and Jacob Fronczak (FIRST FRUITS OF ZION) recently attended @rightresponseministries’ #ChristIsKing: How to Defeat Trashworld! Conference last April. They join Stephanie Quick (@quicklikesand) to discuss the movement’s theological tenets, their experiences, and discover some disconcerting similarities with the ideological movement of Muhammad—yeah, THAT Muhammad.
