The last few weeks have been a bit heavy - so here's some fun to break it up! What do you get with three men, a few pages of paper, and a trivia game from the 70's? A podcast episode, apparently!! Come share the laughs as we dial up the competition. Who will win Bible Trivia? What is the "Segue Game"? Who has the worst handwriting? Then join a topic-weaving discussion on psychedelics, our favourite neolithic structures, mango-flavoured honey... and more. Happy listening, Table Tribe 🎧

It's time for a Part 2!! 👏 Once again, we welcome Rick to the table - a friend with a different background, perspectives, and the most relevant questions 🔥 What happens when the REAL gritty questions are asked? And how satisfying are our answers? Stay tuned to find out! Happy listening, Table Tribe 🎧

🎙️ Three Christians + an agnostic friend = a stellar conversation?! ✨ Welcome back, Table Tribe, to our latest episode. This week we welcome our friend/co-worker Rick, who helps us get to the real questions: ❓ Is the Bible valid, and how do we know? What is the ideal character of a god, if one exists? What's up with forbidden fruit, and how do love and free will factor in? How is theology like understanding a car motor? Why do people die for the Bible? And how easy is it to say "praise the Lord"? 😂 We bounce everywhere, while also feeling like we barely scratched the surface (Part 2 pending...!). Curious? Listen in! 🔥

🎙️ What do sheep fleece and career have in common? Apparently quite a bit! In a short pause from our Matthew 24 series, we pick up the hot topic: career. When choosing a job, how is God involved? And what does that even look like? Buckle up! This episode, we jump from personal testimonies (how WE chose our careers) to Biblical examples (Abraham, Gideon, and more). Plus, what do we do with doubt, and how can we view God's kindness amidst it all? Chuck in some laughs along the way, and you've got our latest episode. Tune in, Table Tribe! 🔥

🎙️ The biggest event of history is coming... with no due date?? In this episode, we continue exploring Jesus' words in Matthew 24: "So you also must be ready - because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." What does readiness REALLY mean? How do we stay awake even when life is busy? And what does "unreadiness" look like in real life? 👀 Wondering how to live between the "now" and "not yet"? You're in the right place. Tune in, Table Tribe! 🔥

The Table is back! 👀 🎙️ It's Bible Study time - prophecies, anyone? This week, we delve into Jesus' speech in Matthew 24. Warnings of deception, promises of persecution, and metaphorical "birth pains"... How do we make sense of these words, let alone apply it?? 👇 🤔 Come with us as we open the Bible and reason with it as we know best. Are "signs of the end" a warning flag, or a circumstance to endure? Why are Christians the biggest deceivers of other Christians? How to interpret the promise of the Gospel going worldwide? And, how should we approach "undercover Christianity" and political climate swings? It's a fun one. Happy listening, Table Tribe 🔥

Being hangry is Biblical...ish? 🤷 🎙️ "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink..." Welcome back! Join us as we crack open the Good Book - it's time for a good old-fashioned Bible study. Today, we explore Exodus 16: Salty water, Quail, and Sabbath. What can we observe, interpret, and apply? Listen in as we find things in common with tummy-grumbling Israelites (which is more than we'd like to admit)... We hope this episode leaves you hungrier for truth! 🔥 Happy listening, Table Tribe 🎧

Genesis 3. The Fall. The Curse. The... Mercy? 🎙️ This episode, we go back to the beginning - a very good place to start.

"It does matter, but it also doesn't really matter... if that makes sense?" 🎙️ Forensics and doctrine? Let's go! This episode is the first of a new format - one where we dive into doctrine and stack up the evidence. Today, it's the concept of the "Secret Rapture". Where did it begin? Where do we find this in Scripture? Arguments for and against? And most importantly: Why does it matter? Turn up the volume and join the table! Happy listening, Table Tribe 🔥

What do a yellow bus, Christian rap, and shamanism have in common? Well, we found out.🔥 🎙️ The Table's special guests from SoulLift: Natz "Smiley", Jordan "Croo" Crookey, and James McHenery - three people with extraordinary stories and intertwined purpose. First, here's a little about SoulLift: This team operates innovative artventure programs on-country in Australia: motivational speaking, visionary coaching and 4WD trips with cutting-edge art and adventure therapy programs for releasing anger, pain and trauma in wild places of inspiring hope. Got the picture? 😉 Well - in this interview, we answer every question this episode's title holds: A Yellow Bus? ➡️ A converted disability transport vehicle-turned-missions base.

“Work, but don’t worry...” 😮‍💨 Is it possible?? 🎙️ This week, we ask a very human question: is busy our drug of choice? Pull up a chair as we explore God’s ideas of 'success'. What's the difference between trusting Him with our 'daily busy' and our long-term visions? How do we understand our rhythms of motivation, and keep God in the centre of that? And why do we need to be bored?? There's no shortage of Scripture in this one! Track along, as we trace Jesus’ rhythm of productivity and rest, lean into the radical idea of Sabbath as the "great equaliser", and ask what real value looks like in the Kingdom. Who knows - maybe you might find a new view on your to-do list. Happy listening, Table Tribe 🔥🔥

This is gonna hurt... But does it have to?? 🥲 🎙️ Tonight, we welcome Willsy back to the table! And together, we discuss a painful topic - quite literally. From suffering's experience, unfair suffering, the refinement of suffering, misused suffering, Jesus' suffering, and suffering with meaning, we delve into the crevices of this relevant topic. Along the way, we open our Bibles to key passages: the Beatitudes, to see how good character can be condemned; the Cross, to witness that our suffering is shared in full; Daniel, to observe the refinement of suffering; Eden and Revelation, to know that suffering is not part of a perfect design. Plus - what does the art of community have to do with Job's suffering? Tune in, Table Tribe. Happy listening 🔥🔥

Somehow, sorrow is pivotal... 😢 🎙️ Crack open your Bibles with Steve, Luke, and Emmerson to tackle these essential Christian ideas. Learn how Bible narratives paint concepts of repentance, confession, and healing. Why does 'worldly' sorrow produce distance from God, while others are brought close? Tangents also include: Street preaching and stoking early fire, the place of post-forgiveness praise, and how to properly confess sins to community. And more? Stay tuned! Happy listening, Table Tribe 🔥🔥

Am I crazy, or is this God speaking?? 🎙️ This Thursday, we discuss the not-so-mysterious communications of our Creator. Get ready for an energetic episode! Join us at the table as we dance from topic to topic - what's the role of the written Word? The concept of God's 'silent leading'? The church as a voice? The pursuit of God as a discernment prerequisite? BEING the voice of God as a Christian lifestyle? And plenty of tangents along the way! Welcome back to the Table. Happy listening, Table Tribe! 🔥🔥

Are they corrupt... or just stupid? 🎙️ This week, we discuss the New Testament's 'Spiritual Police'. 👮👮👮 Reading through the Gospels, we can't help but wonder... Fabricated rules, hypocritical standards, and crucifying God Himself - what's the deal with the Pharisees? Join us for a deep dive into Israel's history and God's mercy! Was this hyper-righteousness a response to an idolatry-prone nation? Were they villains trying to thwart God's plans? Or idiots, distracted by a 'form of Godliness', but denying the REAL power? AND how does fear craft a fundamental misunderstanding of God? 🤔 Join us at the table. Happy listening, Table Tribe! 🔥🔥

From 1844 to 2025...? 🎙️ Tonight's burning question: What does Present Truth look like today? What *is* present truth? How is it static, and how does it evolve? Is it possible to box in a message that's meant to move? In classic ATT style, we wrestle through tradition, culture, urgency, and what the Adventist message looks like in a rapidly changing world. So yeah - the truth doesn’t change. But maybe the way we carry it does. Happy listening, Table Tribe 🔥
