You read your Bible inconsistently. Your prayer life feels flat. You wonder if real transformation is actually possible for someone like you. There is a way to grow that is theologically serious and practically grounded, and it starts with honest conversation about what Scripture actually says. Each…

Few topics in the church divide as sharply as speaking in tongues. Most conversations about it produce one of two reactions: uncritical enthusiasm or nervous dismissal. This episode offers a third option: careful biblical theology applied with pastoral warmth. Khalil, Sean, and Jeff trace the gift of tongues through Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12 through 14, and the arc of church history, addressing the…
If you are a Christian who keeps sinning despite genuinely wanting to stop, this episode was made for you. And the answer is not that you need more willpower. The answer is that you have been fighting the wrong way. Khalil, Sean, and Jeff unpack the biblical concept of mortification of sin, what Paul means in Romans 7 when he describes the experience of doing what he does not want to do, and why…
The incarnation is not just a doctrine about Christmas. It is a pattern for mission. Jesus did not commute to earth. He moved in. He shared meals, touched lepers, showed up at weddings. The theological term for this pattern is incarnational living, and it is exactly what most Christians are not doing. Guest Lee Rogers, Director of Student Evangelism for the Assemblies of God, joins Khalil and the…
Holiness is not a list of things you do not do. It is a participation in the nature of God. When you reduce it to a behavioral checklist, you end up with exactly what the broader culture already rightly critiques: religious performance without transformation. Khalil traces holiness through the lives of Daniel, Israel in Babylon, and the early church, all of whom maintained the distinction of God's…
There is a growing number of Christians who feel like they do not belong anywhere. The culture does not want what they believe. And their church often does not know how to form them in the direction their faith is pointing. That feeling has a name in Scripture. It is exile. Khalil and the team explore the biblical theme of exile, from Israel's captivity in Babylon to Peter's description of…
After a year-long break, Welcome to the Table is back, and this episode is an honest account of why it went quiet and what has changed since. Khalil shares his transition out of full-time youth ministry, the launch of Growing Godly as a structured discipleship system, and his marriage. Jeff celebrates the birth of his son. Sean reflects on graduate school and new responsibilities. This is not a…
You are anxious — not just occasionally but as a default operating mode. You move fast, stay busy, scroll to decompress, and still feel unsettled underneath it all. And part of you knows the fix is not more information, a better evening routine, or one more productivity system. But you are not sure what it actually is. Forty percent of adults identify as anxious, and that number has not moved in…
The question “who is my neighbor?” is not new. A lawyer asked Jesus the same thing — and was hoping the answer would narrow the category, not expand it. Most of us are still doing the same thing. We want to love our neighbor without actually knowing them, without any inconvenience, and without having to change our schedule. The Good Samaritan did not have that option. Neither do we. Troy Pomeroy…
Your calendar is full. You know it. And somewhere in the back of your mind is the thought that God has more for you — but getting to it requires getting through everything already on the list. The problem is that list never gets shorter. And the question quietly forming underneath it is whether you are too busy for the future God actually has in mind. Sabbath is the only commandment most…
You are carrying things you have never told anyone. Not because you do not know you should — you know the verse. But something in you believes that the moment you say it out loud, it becomes more real, more shameful, or more permanent. So you keep it private. And it keeps its grip on you. Confession is not primarily a Catholic sacrament or a step in a recovery program. It is one of the oldest and…
