Flipped Table Theology
A weekly conversation centered around flipping tables of oppression, injustice, privilege, division, and religion as acts of faith and worship. Our team of hosts' varied lived experiences and perspectives will catalyze deep, challenging discussions that we hope will serve as the starting point for conversations in listeners' lives.

We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. We are moving our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group to a group on BAND to give people a way to connect outside of mainline social media platforms.
