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!

120 Delivered from the Power of Darkness
Darkness can be in every corner, but what does the term “darkness” really mean? In today’s episode, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Jen Denton discuss how darkness is portrayed in various scriptures, and what these signify in our daily lives. They also talk about how darkness can also serve as an effect of something, and how it can sway the lives of people. Tune in to learn how to be delivered from the power of darkness!
