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
Many of the things that we believe as Christians, we don’t fully understand; this is true when we speak of God himself. In this episode of the Trinity series we discuss God the Father and His role within the framework of the Trinity.
Topics We Discussed in this Episode
● [4:12] We have been created by God to be in relationship with one another and with Him.
● [6:17] God has not only existed forever, He has existed in relationship forever. We have to being to understand the relational Oneness of God. There are three members of the Godhead (forming a Trinity) and they are easily identifiable in Scripture.
