What does it look like to follow Jesus in the workplace?

In this bonus episode of A Given People, we're sharing the full conversations with Jose Soto-Jimenez and Susan Littleton—two people who have sought to honor Christ through their vocations in very different ways.

Jose shares how he strives to sanctify his daily work, viewing every task and every interaction as an opportunity to glorify God and serve others. Susan reflects on recognizing God's calling in her career and the joy of pursuing work that aligns with His purpose for her life.

These conversations expand on the themes from Episode 4, offering additional stories, practical wisdom, and encouragement for anyone seeking to live out their faith Monday through Friday.

Whether you're just beginning your career, considering a vocational change, or simply asking how your work can become an act of worship, we hope these conversations encourage you to see your work as part of God's mission.

What role do you play in the life of the church?

In the final episode of A Given People, Tyler, Ben, and Matt explore God's design for ministry within the local church. Too often, Christians view the church as a place to attend, consume, and receive. But Scripture presents a different picture—one where every believer is called to contribute, serve, encourage, disciple, and help build up the body of Christ.

From serving teams and spiritual gifts to discipleship and membership, this conversation challenges us to see ourselves not as spectators, but as active participants in God's work through His church.

The local church isn't a gathering of a few ministers serving everyone else. It's a family of believers, each uniquely gifted and called to play a part in the mission.

As we conclude A Given People, we return to the central theme of the series: every Christian has been given a ministry, a mission, and a place to serve.

What if your job is more than just a paycheck?

In Episode 4 of A Given People, Tyler and Ben explore what it means to live missionally in the workplace and view our vocations as opportunities for ministry. Whether you're in an office, classroom, job site, hospital, or working from home, God has placed you in a unique position to represent Christ and serve others.

Too often, we separate our faith from our work, treating ministry as something that happens at church while our careers exist in a completely different category. But Scripture paints a different picture—one where our work becomes an act of worship, a means of serving our neighbors, and a platform for living out the Gospel.

This episode also features conversations with Jose Soto-Jimenez and Susan Littleton. Jose shares how he seeks to sanctify his work and honor Christ through his vocation, while Susan reflects on pursuing a career she believed God was calling her to and the impact that decision has had on her life and ministry.

If you've ever wondered how your faith connects to your Monday-through-Friday life, this conversation is for you.

In this special Father's Day bonus episode of The Table, Tyler sits down with his youngest guest ever—his 3-year-old son, Carter. Together they talk about God, dads, bedtime blessings, favorite things, and some of life's biggest questions. It's a fun, honest, and occasionally profound conversation that reminds us faith is often formed in the simple moments at home.

Happy Father's Day from The Table.

What does it look like to live on mission beyond the walls of your home?

In Episode 3 of A Given People, Ben continues his conversation with Sean Winn as they explore the calling of Christians to invest in the people God has placed around them. From grandparenting and leaving a spiritual legacy to neighboring, hospitality, and building meaningful relationships, this episode challenges believers to see everyday interactions as opportunities for ministry.

Too often, we think of ministry as something that happens in a church building or on a mission trip. But what if God has already placed people in your life that He intends for you to influence, encourage, and point toward Christ?

Join us as we discuss practical ways to live with intentionality, open our lives to others, and embrace the calling to be ambassadors for Christ right where He has planted us.

If every Christian is called to ministry, where does that ministry begin?

In Episode 2 of A Given People, Ben sits down with Sean Winn to talk about one of the most important mission fields God has entrusted to us: our homes. Together, they explore the calling of Christian parents to intentionally disciple their children and create a home centered on Christ. This conversation is broken into two parts, with the second part being featured in next week's episode.

The episode also features a conversation with Matt and Jessica Maestas as they share their experiences, challenges, and encouragements for raising a family with purpose and keeping Jesus at the center of everyday life.

Whether you're parenting young children, navigating the teenage years, preparing for a future family, or simply seeking to invest in the next generation, this conversation offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement for living out your faith at home.

What if Christianity was never meant to be something we simply consume?

In the first episode of our new series, A Given People, we explore a foundational truth that has been largely forgotten in modern church culture: every Christian is called to ministry.

Too often, we view the church as a place we attend rather than a people we belong to and a mission we participate in. But Scripture paints a different picture. Every believer has been called to serve, disciple, encourage, and represent Christ in the places and relationships God has already given them.

Join us as we discuss the purpose of the church, the priesthood of every believer, the call to make disciples, and the question every follower of Jesus must answer:

Who are you living for?

This is Episode 1 of A Given People.

After a couple months away, The Table is back — and a lot has changed. In this relaunch episode, we talk through a season of growth at Fellowship West: moving into a new building, seeing baptisms, salvations, record attendance, and growth across every area of ministry.

But beyond the numbers and milestones, we also talk about what it means to grow as a church without losing what matters most. As things get bigger, how do we stay connected? How do we make sure church doesn’t become something we just attend, but something we actually belong to?

This conversation is both a celebration of what God has done and a reflection on the kind of community we believe He is calling us to build.

We’re glad to be back at the table.

Before The Table officially returns, Carter and Hadley apparently decided to test out the new podcast studio for themselves.

But after a short hiatus during our move into the new building, we’re excited to announce that The Table is officially coming back.

New episodes begin Thursday, May 28 — and for the first time ever, we’ll be bringing the podcast to video as well.

We’re excited for new conversations, fresh content, and an upgraded studio setup.

Be sure to subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or YouTube so you don’t miss the return of The Table.

What does it actually look like to follow Jesus in the middle of real life?

In this episode of The Table, we hit the road to Nashville for the Worship Together Conference and invite you into the conversation along the way. Joined by Ben, Melissa, and Halley, we talk honestly about spiritual disciplines—not as rigid routines or checklists, but as simple, life-giving practices that help shape our faith over time.

We discuss practical ways to build rhythms of prayer, Scripture, worship, and rest into everyday life, especially in seasons that feel busy, loud, or anything but “quiet.” This is a candid, around-the-table conversation about forming habits that help us stay rooted in Christ wherever we are.

So whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just trying to figure out how faith fits into your normal week, pull up a seat and join us.
