The Christian Roundtable

Episode 59 - Devils and Demons - part six

In part six of our ongoing conversation about deliverance, tongues, and spiritual gifts, this episode of Let’s Talk Missionstakes a closer look at the growing number of post-salvation “deliverance” testimonies. Many Christians today are drawn to emotional experiences, dramatic encounters, and powerful stories that seem spiritual—but often have little connection to what the Bible actually teaches. Can a born-again believer still be under demonic bondage? Do we need deliverance after salvation, or does Scripture teach that Christ already finished the work? We’ll explore why feelings, dreams, and prophetic words must always be tested against the authority of God’s Word—and why what most people need isn’t another emotional moment, but solid discipleship. If you’ve ever heard someone say, “I felt something leave me,” this episode will challenge you to go deeper and ask the real question: “What does the Bible say?” Because lasting freedom comes not through theatrics—but through truth.

Episode 58 - Devils and Demons - part five

In this episode of Let’s Talk Missions, we take an honest look at the growing trend of tongues, miracles, and deliverance ministries—especially in churches where believers are told they need to be delivered, speak in tongues, or experience some supernatural encounter to prove the Holy Spirit is working. But are these emotional moments truly biblical, or are we trading sound doctrine for spiritual drama? We’ll explore questions like: Can a Christian be possessed? Are tongues still for today? And what does the Bible actually say about signs and wonders? From Acts to 1 Corinthians to Hebrews, we’ll walk through Scripture to see the original purpose of sign gifts and why they’re no longer necessary now that we have the completed Word of God. If you're tired of hype and hungry for truth, this episode will challenge you to base your beliefs on the Bible—not feelings, not tradition, and not what’s trending.

Episode 57 - Devils and Demons - part four

In this episode on The Christian Roundtable, we take an honest look at the growing trend of public deliverance services and ask the tough question: are these gatherings truly rooted in Scripture, or are they more about emotional display and spiritual hype? While spiritual warfare is real, many of these services focus more on chaos, loud theatrics, and the supposed power of the enemy than on the finished victory of Jesus Christ. Listeners will be challenged to evaluate what they see in light of God’s Word, not emotion. True deliverance in Scripture is marked by clarity, peace, and Christ-exalting truth—not confusion or performance. If the enemy is getting more attention than Jesus, something is seriously off. This episode will help you cut through the noise, discern truth from drama, and stay grounded in sound doctrine that magnifies Christ alone.

Episode 56 - Devils and Demons - part three

In this episode of The Christian Roundtable, we’re diving into a much-needed conversation: Can a born-again Christian be possessed by a demon? And why are so many emotional or mental struggles—like depression, trauma, or anxiety—being mislabeled as spiritual attacks in today’s churches? We unpack what the Bible actually says about the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence, spiritual ownership, and how to discern between true spiritual warfare and the need for healing, discipleship, and wise counsel. If you’ve ever questioned what’s real, what’s hype, and how the church should respond, this episode brings biblical clarity to a confusing topic.

Episode 55 - Devils and Demons - part two

Temptation or Spiritual Captivity?  In this episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in the church today: the difference between temptation and spiritual captivity. Many believers wrestle with guilt and confusion, unsure if their struggles are simply part of the Christian walk or signs of deeper spiritual bondage. We dig into what the Bible really says, focusing on the believer’s identity in Christ and the power of truth over fear. You’ll hear practical insight for pastors, biblical clarity for everyday believers, and encouragement to walk in freedom, not confusion. Tune in as we emphasize truth over theatrics and learn how to stand firm in spiritual victory.

Episode 54 - Devils and Demons - part one

In this premiere episode of The Christian Roundtable, we tackle a growing and often misunderstood trend in many churches today—the idea that Christians still need deliverance after salvation. From breaking generational curses to casting out demons, deliverance services have become a regular part of the church experience for many believers. But is that really what the Bible teaches? This episode asks the hard question—do we need deliverance, or do we need discipleship? With a focus on Scripture rather than emotion, we explore the completeness of Christ’s finished work, the believer’s new identity in Christ, and the real reason many Christians continue to struggle with fear, sin, and spiritual confusion. This isn’t about denying spiritual warfare—it’s about clarifying where true victory comes from. Join us as we cut through the noise and bring biblical truth to the table.

Episode 53 - Worship vs Entertainment - part four

In this episode of Let’s Talk Missions, we go deeper into the question: Is our worship leading people to holiness—or just hyping them up? We explore the difference between emotional highs and true heart transformation. From Isaiah’s undone confession to David’s desire for intimacy with God, we discuss how worship is meant to produce reverence, repentance, and real change—not just feelings that fade by Monday. We also examine the long-term effects of worship driven by entertainment, the temptation to prioritize excellence over holiness, and the risk of replacing the altar with the stage. If worship doesn’t lead to obedience, has it truly fulfilled its purpose? This conversation calls us back to worship that is Spirit-led, Scripture-fed, and centered on Christ.

Episode 52 - Worship vs Entertainment - part three

In this episode of Let’s Talk Missions, we tackle a timely and often overlooked question: has worship in the modern church become more about entertainment than engaging the Spirit of God? We dive deep into the difference between emotional stimulation and true spiritual nourishment. From flashy stage lights to emotionally charged concerts, we ask whether churches today are unintentionally raising consumers instead of disciples. With Scripture as our guide, we explore how real worship calls for sacrifice, not just sensation—and how the goal of gathering should be to feed the soul, not impress the senses. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between spectacle and substance, this conversation is for you.

Episode 51 - Worship vs Entertainment - part two

In this latest episode of The Christian Roundtable, we peel back another layer of the conversation on entertainment versus worship—this time asking a deeper question: what happens when our preferences begin to shape our theology? It’s easy to blur the lines between what moves us emotionally and what honors God spiritually. But true worship isn’t about what feels good—it’s about what is good, pure, and centered on Christ. If our services are designed to hold attention more than to point hearts upward, we risk trading transformation for applause. Join us as we wrestle with what it really means to worship in spirit and in truth, even when it costs us our comfort.

Episode 50 - Worship vs Entertainment - part one

What happens when the line between worship and entertainment starts to blur? In this episode of The Christian Roundtable, we take an honest look at how modern church culture sometimes shifts the focus from glorifying God to putting on a show.
We’re not here to criticize style—we’re here to ask deeper questions about the heart behind it all. Is Christ truly at the center of our worship, or have emotions and experiences taken His place?
Let’s have a real conversation about what it means to worship in spirit and in truth.
