  • Hummel & Wright

    Great to hear recent interviews with Dan Hummel and Tom Wright. The interaction with Hummel about his book on dispensationalism was peaceable, respectful without insisting on a mere kum-by-ya session. I’ve read Hummel’s work and was quite curious how my alma mater would take it. I learned a lot from the points of difference and distinction. A great example of how to engage with people of differing views.

    Your conversation with Tom Wright on Romans 8 was also very affirming. I’m in a group that... more

  • Content and Tone - perfect combination

    One of the reasons I love this podcast is because they don’t shy away from tough topics. The other reason is the way in which they engage these issues. The focus is on understanding and listening rather than labeling and judging. Keep up the great work🙌🏾

  • Thought Provoking and Insightful Podcast

    As a longtime listener of The Table, I'm continuously impressed by the insightful faith perspectives and thoughtful cultural analysis this podcast facilitates through respectful dialogue each episode; I always walk away with a more thoughtful, nuanced understanding of complex issues at the intersection of Christianity and society, as well as inspiration to live out my beliefs with grace and wisdom.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Profound Power of Poetry
Q: How did you both get started with writing poetry, and what drew you to this art form?
Christine explains she was surprised to be recognized as a poet during creative writing studies and credits mentorship for encouraging her writing; Jimmy shares a lifelong engagement with poetry and music, describing it as a natural outlet and craft that grew with practice and teaching roles.
Profound Power of Poetry
Q: Christine, will you start us off with a reading and set the stage for our discussion on poetry?
Christine introduces a trauma-reflection poem Remember That, explaining its origins in therapy and its aim to give voice to healing, fear, and resilience; she then expands on how poetry functions as a vehicle for processing trauma and expressing faith in a tactile, embodied way.
Christianity in Ireland
Q: What led you to consider church planting in Ireland after your experience at DTS?
A mentor who had discipled the speaker encouraged church planting in Ireland, leading to collaboration between the Irish couple and an American pastor, and eventually returning to Ireland to start Living Hope Church.
Christianity in Ireland
Q: Can you talk about where you're from originally, and how you got to DTS?
June grew up in a religious Catholic background; Ciaran describes a personal journey beginning with family tensions around religion, meeting June, and ultimately reading the Bible leading to faith and DTS as a pathway for deeper study.
Is Christian Education The Same As Discipleship?
Q: Can you give a little bit of your understanding of discipleship and how the two are related but different?
Discipleship is a process of engaging minds, hearts, and behaviors with the Word of God, aiming for spiritual transformation rather than simply learning information or conducting activities; Christian education is the framework or program that can host that process, whether in churches or schools, but the goal is to cultivate growth toward Christ.
