"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." - Leo Tolstoy 🎙️ This Thursday's topic: "Patience" - or as King James I liked to put it, "𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈". How do we wrestle with ideas of justice, power, and big-picture? Why do we have to 'suffer long'? Is there a proper way to be patient? How? Come with us as we look at Bible examples, personal experiences, and most importantly, the character of our God ✨ Stay tuned! Happy listening, Table Tribe 🔥

Joyful joyful, we're back for another Thursday! 🎙️ Christians aren't always all smiles. Why? Should they be?

As we discuss, come and discover God with us - a Being we're persuaded is truly 'peaceful' and 'joyful'. Happy listening 🔥

Welcome back to the Table! Get ready for some unexpected insights and some much-expected laughs ;) 🎙️ Reading the Bible and Mark 8 makes us wonder: what's an all-knowing Messiah doing, asking so many questions??

Welcome back, and happy listening 🔥

Hey ATT fam! We’re BACK, and trust us – this one’s extra spicy. 🥵🔥 In today’s episode, we dive headfirst into intense territory – radical Bible obedience. We’re talking Nahab and Abihu (the guys who went up in flames) and that time Dagon hit the floor, face-first. 😳 What does God’s holiness really mean, and how far is He willing to go for it? What about our own obedience – can God still work with us if we’re just doing our best with what we’ve got, even if we’re not perfect? 🤔 (And if you li...
