Making Disciples at the Table

Islamic scholar and veteran missionary Dan Wickwire joins Stephanie Quick for a TABLE TALKS before the launch of his new teaching series at THE EMMAUS TABLE. We discuss his forty years of ministry in the Muslim world, his academic pursuits studying the Quran and Islam, and his book “200 QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE AND THE QURAN.” Videos for each question are available in THE EMMAUS TABLE app now, and will premiere on YouTube every week grouped by chapters. We are grateful to Dan for this incredible resource.

Rich & Zach Stevenson join TABLE TALKS to discuss their new podcast, JOIN ME IN THE RUINS. Their father-son dynamic discussing the substantial issues facing those in ministry and the Church at large draws from a refreshing well. The Stevensons are longtime friends of many of us here at THE EMMAUS TABLE, and we can’t wait for you to get to know them.

Joel Richardson and Pastor Sebastiaan van Wessem sit down for a conversation on the rising Jew-hatred in Europe and the return of historic pre-millennialism.

TABLE TALKS returns with Joel Richardson and pastor Brian Hunter of TRIBE Church in Jackson Hole, WY to discuss the impact of the last two years on society, culture, and the Christian body worldwide.

Every disciple is meant to make disciples. But how accessible is obedience to this command, and how can we ensure we obey it responsibly? Bill Scofield and Holger Reinhardt join Episode 5 of TABLE TALKS to share how they have led table-centered fellowship, pursued new disciples, and serve their communities as fathers. In the end, making disciples is remarkably simple. It is not easy. But it is worth it.Watch & listen to TABLE TALKS Ep. 5 with Bill Scofield & Holger Reinhardt at THE EMMAUS TABLE

One-third of the APOCALYPTIC GOSPEL podcast, John Harrigan, joins Stephanie Quick for an extensive conversation examining how “eschatology drives discipleship.” How do the stories we tell ourselves inform our lives, decisions, and doctrines? What do Muhammad and Pax Romana have in common, and what warnings can we glean for Christian leadership? What happens if we let Plato shape our understanding of King Jesus? And in light of the reckoning the Christian world, particularly charismatic streams, are experiencing over the last few years, what should we hold onto—and what should we get rid of?Watch & listen to TABLE TALKS Ep. 4 with Stephanie Quick & John Harrigan at THE EMMAUS TABLE.

We’re called to take up our cross, put our hand to the plow, and not look back—and if we do, per Jesus, we’re “not fit to serve in the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62, CJB). The upside in the “upside-down” Kingdom is that God puts our suffering to redemptive use. It also makes sense of our suffering, when we view life through the lens of the Scriptures. How did the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles handle the issues of deep and profound pain in light of the “good news”? Stephanie Quick is joined by Stephen Holmes and Reed Smith, the director of 49:TEN Films’ latest, ‘Sojourners & Exiles’ for a vibrant discussion surveying these questions and more.Listen to TABLE TALKS Ep. 3 with Stephanie Quick, Stephen Holmes, and Reed Smith at THE EMMAUS TABLE
