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!

In this episode, Erin Pickering, LCC's adult ministries director, joins Pastor Jeff Cranston to answer questions submitted during an end time series at Low Country Community Church last fall. The conversation gets off to an exciting start as they discuss the rapture and the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. They delve into the context of resurrection and how it relates to Revelation. You'll learn about the different resurrections mentioned in the Bible and how they relate to the end times.
