EP26: "Has Christmas Become Too Commercialised For Christians?"
In This Episode of On The Table Podcast, we're discussing Christmas, and the commercialisation of the Christian Holiday! Should Christians be joining in with this commercialisation? Is Christmas still about Jesus? How can we as Christians continue to point this season back to Christ? Join the discussion today!
EP25: "Is Submission Something To Be Excited About?"
In this episode of On The Table Podcast, we discuss the biblical instruction of submission of wives to their husbands. The bible references the concept of submission in multiple scriptures, (Ephesians 5:22-23, 1 Peter 3:5-6, Titus 2:5), but is it still something we should adhere to today? What does submission look like practically? Is it something to look forward to, or is this instruction from God burdensome and / or unrealistic?
EP24: "Do Christians wrongfully idolise their pastors and leaders?"
In this new episode of on the table, we discuss what it truly means to be a leader in the church, expectations of our pastors and leaders, and what happens when they fall short. Do you idolise your church pastors and leaders to any degree? Do you look more to them than to Christ in any aspects of your faith?
EP23: "How Should Christians Approach Politics?"
In this episode, we talk about politics. This is a big word for many people which leads to shying away from the topic. But as something that influences our daily living, we need to learn to have a more structured approach to it. There are many ways to start but a few questions to ask are, what are my core values? What party models these values best? How can I get involved with my local politics?
EP22: "Should Christians desire a Soft Life?"
In this episode we touch on the topic of soft life. The culture we live in has encouraged a lifestyle that of no stress and no struggles. Is this the Christian view of life? Does God desire we live a stress-free life with no troubles? Or are the troubles of life doing us more of a service than a disservice? Can God still be glorified if we avoid the troubles and stress in life? Join us in this discussion today!
EP21: "Should Christians listen to Secular music?"
In this episode, we’re talking all things music! Do we have to change our music taste once we become Christians? Does the music we consume matter? If so much of our day to day life is punctuated by the music we listen to, do we need to be more aware of what we choose to consume? Can secular music bring glory to God? Join the discussion with us today! You can check out the podcast on all platforms!
EP20: "Should Christians be a part of drip culture?"
In this episode, we discuss on the influence drip culture has had in our society and if as Christians we should be a part of it. Is caring about your appearance a sin? Is there a limit to what you can and can't do? Or are Christians just too up tight with too many outdated rules about how we present ourselves? Make sure you follow us and share with your friends and family.
EP19: "Is there anything wrong with youth churches?"
Welcome to our brand new episode of On The Table Podcast! This generation has seen a significant rise in youth / young adults churches over the last few years and they can be a great way to connect with like-minded believers at the same stage of life as you! But are there any flaws with only having young people in a church? Are young people missing out by not attending multigenerational churches? In this episode we will be discussing the benefits and disadvantages of youth churches and if the structure today is the representative of an ideal church structure.

EP17: Should Christians Build Wealth Or Avoid It?
In our culture today, there seems to be no facet of life that is untouched by money and the pursuit of it.

Guests: Mike Omoniyi, Lois Komalafe, Mwaka Mudenda, Emmanuel Hammond
EP16: Why is God ignoring my prayers?
Maybe you have never prayed to God yourself, or maybe you’ve prayed for years. Most of us sense the desire to pray and even want to develop a better prayer life.

EP15: "Why can't Christians have fun?"
As Lockdown 3.0 finally comes to an end in the UK and everyone seems set to have a summer to remember, it can occasionally feel that there are a long list of things that we can’t participate in. Whether it’s programs that we would like to watch or places we would love to attend, there is potential to be apprehension as to if a Christian can engage. So how then should we navigate what sort of trends, events and parties we should attend?

EP14: "Are Christians expected to never listen to secular music?"
The topic of secular music is one that often elicits a deep divide among Christians. Many Christians would argue that are free to listen to any kind of secular music they choose just as long as it doesn't "affect" them. Others would go as far as to say that under no circumstances should Christians listen to secular music. Our four guests discuss how with all the different music choices we have before us, we determine what type of music beneficial or harmful to our faith.
Guests: M.T Omoniyi, Deborah Suen, Samson Makinde and Lisa Collins-Brown
EP13: "Why don't Christians talk about singleness"?
We often view singleness as simply a phase of our lives to exercise patience in. As if marriage is the goal and singleness is just the journey of seeking a partner. However, our four guests discuss how the season of singleness is a wonderful opportunity to use the time, resources and friendships God has blessed you with, to glorify him.
Guests: Toye Akinoso, Deborah Suen, M.T Omoniyi and Heike Faith Adex
EP12:"Is there such a thing as Christian dating?"
As the words “courtship” and “dating” are not found in the Bible, everyone seems to have their own principles and guidelines as to how Christians should date. This tends to lead to all sorts of confusion as to what Christian dating looks like and whether or not dating is something Christians should do all together. In this weeks episode, our four guests look at if there is such thing as biblical dating? If so, what is it? And how can Christians think differently about this pervasive issue in media and culture?
Guests: Susana Clapcott, Toye Akinoso, Rufaro Jerahuni, Lisa Collins-Browns

EP10: "We all love forgiveness until it's actually time forgive"
We can all agree that forgiveness is central to our experience as Christians. It is at the heart of our relationship with God and our relationship with others. It is something we all know we ought to do but in reality, it is often hard and unnatural. Our four guests share some stories and encouragement to better help us apply the biblical instruction of forgiveness!

During this week's episode of On The Table, we bring to the table, Evangelism! As Christians, we all know that we need to share the Gospel, God has equipped us and commanded us to be witnesses of what He has done for us in our lives. However, a lot of us make excuses as to why we don't share the Gospel as often as we ought to. So, how can I better share the Gospel?
