If the gospel you’re hearing doesn’t sound like good news, it isn’t the real gospel.
In this episode, the On the Table team unpacks what the Gospel of Grace truly is—and why focusing on sin, striving, or “earning” favor with God muddies the message. We talk about how Jesus already put away sin, how righteousness is a gift, and how walking in grace frees us from hypocrisy and shame. You’ll discover that grace isn’t soft on sin—it’s strong in love. When we live from that truth, the good news feels like what it was always meant to be: good.

Teaching your kids about Jesus isn’t just about Sunday school answers—it’s about walking hand-in-hand with them toward a real relationship with God. In this episode, the On the Table crew talks about how to guide your children from curiosity to confidence: answering their “whys” before doubts take root, showing them that God is their loving Creator, and modeling authentic grace, faith, and love every day. You’ll hear why living your faith openly (not hypocritically) matters more than ever, how to share your testimonies with impact, and why skepticism isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a roadblock. This is about being “all in” with Jesus so your kids know He’s real, trustworthy, and present in their lives so they, too, may enter adulthood “all in” with Jesus.

In this heartfelt episode of On the Table, the team dives into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming world of parenting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough for your kids… you’re not alone. But the truth is, parenting was never meant to be about perfection. It’s about grace. We talk about what it looks like to parent with authenticity, to repair relationships instead of pretending their flawless, and to explain the “why” behind decisions so our kids grow in wisdom and compassion. We explore how grace invites conversation, builds trust, and helps you see the heart behind your child’s behavior. You’re not just raising kids – you’re helping launch people into their God-given missions. Tune in and be encouraged: there’s grace for you here, and your kids too.
