🎃 Halloween: Should Christians Celebrate? | The Unlabeled Table Podcast

Should Christians celebrate Halloween? In this episode, we examine Halloween through the lens of Scripture and discuss how believers can make choices that honor God in a culture filled with competing influences.

Our main Scripture, Romans 2:1–16, challenges us to examine our own hearts, avoid hypocrisy, and remember that God is the righteous Judge. We also explore what the Bible teaches about spiritual practices, discernment, holiness, and walking in the light of Christ.

📖 Scriptures discussed: Romans 2:1–16, Deuteronomy 18:9–13, Leviticus 19:31, 2 Corinthians 5:8, Ephesians 5:8–12, and 1 Timothy 2:5.

This conversation isn't about condemning others. It's about studying God's Word, examining our own convictions, and seeking wisdom to live faithfully as followers of Jesus.

The question is more than “Can I celebrate Halloween?” It's “Does the way I live reflect the light and truth of Jesus Christ?”

🎧 Listen, share your thoughts, and join the conversation! What biblical principles guide your decision about Halloween?

Women's Conference | Amy Cooper | The Unlabeled Table Podcast

Amy studied Art History at the University of Kentucky and has served as a Marketing Manager and Credentialing Consultant with Bluegrass Credentialing for 17 years. But one of the most meaningful parts of her story comes from her own family's experience with her son's cancer battle.

Through this difficult season, Amy felt called by God to support other mothers walking a similar path, offering compassion, understanding, and encouragement when they need it most.

In this episode, we reflect on how God can use our experiences to help others, finding purpose through difficult seasons, and the importance of walking alongside families facing life's greatest challenges.

Women's Conference | Lela Hall | The Unlabeled Table Podcast

In this special episode of The Unlabeled Table Podcast, we continue our Women's Conference conversations with Lela Hall, a daughter and worshiper of God who has spent decades serving the Lord and His people.

Lela shares about her journey of faith, family, worship, and ministry. Alongside her late husband, Rev. Thomas Hall, she spent 38 years in pastoral ministry, including 33 years serving at Church of the Living God in Winchester. Today, she continues to serve as a worship leader and on the pastoral team.

Lela is also a mother of three and grandmother of six, roles she considers among her greatest blessings.

One of the most powerful parts of her story is how she describes her current season of life: “learning by practice a new level of the faith that was first formed in her by inspiration.”

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Faith through different seasons of life
• Worship when life doesn't look the way we expected
• Trusting God through change and loss
• Lessons learned through years of ministry
• The importance of family and legacy
• Encouraging and strengthening other women
• Moving from simply knowing about faith to living it out
• God's faithfulness through every season

📖 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1

Lela's story is a beautiful reminder that God doesn't waste our seasons. The faith He builds in us is meant to be lived out—especially when life requires us to trust Him in new ways.

If you're a woman walking through a season of transition, uncertainty, grief, growth, or simply looking for encouragement in your walk with Christ, this conversation is for you.

SELF FORGIVENESS | The Unlabeled Table Podcast

Have you ever made a mistake that you know God has forgiven, but you still struggle to forgive yourself?

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is the person staring back at us in the mirror.

In this episode of The Unlabeled Table Podcast, we’re having a real and honest conversation about self-forgiveness, guilt, shame, grace, repentance, and learning to move forward in Christ.

The Bible makes it clear that when we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive and cleanse us. Psalm 103 reminds us that God removes our transgressions from us, and Romans 8:1 reminds us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

But what happens when God has forgiven you, yet you continue to punish yourself for your past?

How do we stop allowing our mistakes to define who we are?

How do we learn from our past without continuing to live in it?

And how do we accept the grace that God has already extended to us?

In this conversation, we talk about:

• What biblical self-forgiveness really looks like
• The difference between conviction and condemnation
• Why guilt and shame can keep us trapped in our past
• Accepting God's forgiveness instead of continually punishing ourselves
• How repentance brings us back into fellowship with God
• Learning from our mistakes without allowing them to define us
• Letting go of the things God has already forgiven
• Walking in God's grace and freedom
• How our past can become part of our testimony
• Moving forward instead of constantly looking backward

The goal isn't to pretend the past never happened. It's to recognize that your past does not have to control your future when you surrender it to God.

You may have made mistakes. You may have regrets. You may have things you wish you could go back and change.

But if you've brought those things to God, don't allow shame to keep you living in a place that God's grace has already brought you out of.

God's grace is bigger than your mistakes.

How to Imitate Christ | The Unlabeled Table Podcast

What does it really mean to imitate Christ? How does God continue to shape us and transform us as we grow in our faith?

In this episode of The Unlabeled Table Podcast, we take a closer look at the Book of Philippians and what it teaches us about becoming more like Jesus. Our key Scripture is Philippians 1:6, which reminds us that the God who begins a good work in us is faithful to continue it until the day of Christ Jesus.

We talk about what it means to surrender to God's work in our lives, grow spiritually, and allow our words, actions, attitudes, and choices to reflect Christ.

We also discuss Jonathan Cahn's book, The Altar of Pergamon: The Mystery of the Dark Angel & the Future of the World and look at the biblical connection to Revelation 2:12–13, where Jesus speaks to the church in Pergamum.

In This Episode, We Discuss:✝️ What it means to imitate Christ
📖 Lessons from the Book of Philippians
🔥 Philippians 1:6 and God's continuing work in us
❤️ Growing in our relationship with Jesus

📚 Jonathan Cahn's The Altar of Pergamon
📖 Revelation 2:12–13 and the church at Pergamum
⚔️ Standing firm in our faith
🌎 Examining biblical truth in light of the world around us

One of the most encouraging truths we discuss is that God isn't finished with us yet. If He has begun a work in you, you can trust Him to continue working, shaping, correcting, strengthening, and transforming you.

The goal isn't simply to know about Christ—it's to become more like Christ.

Key Scriptures:• Philippians 1:6
• Philippians 2:5–8
• Revelation 2:12–13

Money & Sex | The Unlabeled Table Podcast

Money and sex can be two of the most difficult subjects for married couples to talk about—but what happens when we bring these conversations back to God's Word?

In this episode of The Unlabeled Table Podcast, we sit down with special guest David for an honest conversation about two important areas of marriage: finances and intimacy.

God cares about every part of our marriages, including how we handle money, communicate with one another, show love, and experience intimacy within the covenant of marriage. Instead of allowing culture to define these areas for us, we look to Scripture for biblical principles that can help couples build stronger, healthier, Christ-centered marriages.

In This Episode, We Discuss:💰 Money in Marriage

• Biblical stewardship and generosity
• Communicating openly about finances
• Working together as husband and wife
• Avoiding conflict and division over money
• Trusting God with what He has provided

❤️ Sex & Intimacy in Marriage

• God's design for intimacy within marriage
• The importance of communication and mutual respect
• Emotional and physical intimacy
• Protecting the unity of marriage
• Keeping Christ at the center of your relationship

📖 Biblical Marriage

We also explore what Scripture teaches about marriage as a covenant relationship and how biblical principles can help couples navigate some of the most personal and sometimes uncomfortable conversations in marriage.

Marriage isn't perfect, and neither are we. But when couples choose honesty, humility, forgiveness, communication, and a commitment to Christ, they can continue growing together.

This episode is about taking the conversations that may feel uncomfortable and looking at them through the truth and wisdom of God's Word.

🎙️ The Unlabeled Table Podcast is where faith, Scripture, and real conversations come together to talk about the things that matter—without avoiding the difficult subjects.

🎙️ The Book of Ephesians | The Unlabeled Table Podcast

What does it mean to be chosen, loved, and made new in Christ?

In this episode of The Unlabeled Table Podcast, we take a deep dive into the Book of Ephesians—one of the most powerful letters in the New Testament. Paul wrote Ephesians to remind believers of who we are in Christ and how we are called to live as His people.

From our identity in Christ to our relationships with others, Ephesians gives us a blueprint for living out our faith with purpose, unity, and strength. This book reveals the beauty of God’s grace, the mystery of the Church, and the incredible plan He has for our lives.

📖 IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:

• Our identity as God’s chosen and deeply loved children (Ephesians 1)
• Salvation by grace through faith (Ephesians 2)
• How we are united in Christ and part of His Church (Ephesians 3)
• Living a life worthy of our calling (Ephesians 4)
• Putting off the old nature and putting on the new (Ephesians 4)
• Walking in love, unity, and humility (Ephesians 4)
• Putting on the full armor of God and standing firm (Ephesians 6
• God’s eternal plan to bring everything together in Christ (Ephesians 1 & 3)

Ephesians reminds us that we are not who the world says we are—we are who God says we are. We are saved by grace, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, and called to walk in love, unity, and purpose.
