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
Today we begin a new series on the doctrine of The Trinity. Has anyone ever explained the Trinity to you? The Trinity is something that is always assumed, but not often discussed, explained, or taught. The idea of One God in Three Persons – three in one – is a concept we have difficulty getting our heads around.
Topics We Discussed in this Episode
● [10:02] The word “trinity” means “tri-unity”, that is, three in one. There is only one true and living God.
● [10:53] The Bible teaches that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible also teaches that there is only one God. The Trinity is one God existing in three Persons.
● [12:00] Where in the Bible do we see the Trinity?
● [16:10] Without a balanced view of all three persons of the Trinity, we can misinterpret the work of God in this world.
