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!

Episode Summary
In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen dive into the theological concept of inerrancy. The Bible always tells the truth. Christians believe we have a perfect Bible because we have a perfect God. We believe we have a trustworthy Bible because we have a trustworthy God.
Topics We Discussed in this Episode
● [3:00] Inerrancy means that the Bible always tells the truth, and that it always tells the truth concerning everything it talks about.
● [5:56] Inerrancy provides spiritual orientation, something that Christians can trust in and hold fast to.
● [9:02] How do we respond to so-called inconsistencies and perceived errors in Scripture?
