Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!

131 Of The Family and Household of God
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “household”? In today’s episode, Jen and pastor Jeff discuss what it means to be in God’s household. They explore its implication on our physical bodies, our eternal home in heaven, and our relationship with God. We are now part of His family and as such we have a responsibility to love and care for each other. Tune in to learn more!
