In this special two-part series of The Table, we sit down with Mitchell for his first interview since the release of his new book, Broken Cisterns: From the Crack House to the Church House — The Same Thirst, The Same Savior.
In Part I, Mitchell shares what inspired him to write the book, the personal experiences and family stories that shaped it, and the deeper message woven through its opening chapters — that every human heart longs for something to quench its thirst, and only Christ can truly satisfy.
Join us for an honest, heartfelt conversation about our all-satisfying Savior — and stay tuned for Part II, where we’ll continue exploring the rest of the book and its powerful conclusion.

In this episode of The Table, we look at the final years of King Hezekiah’s life in Isaiah 39. Though God graciously granted him 15 more years, Hezekiah spent them focused on temporal gains rather than eternal impact. His short-sightedness left the next generation unprepared for what was to come. His story challenges us to consider how we’re using our own time—are we investing in fleeting comforts, or in the eternal by pouring into the next generation?
In this episode of The Table, we turn to 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and consider the race of faith every believer is called to run. Just as athletes train with discipline for a crown that fades, we are called to pursue an imperishable crown with intentionality, perseverance, and hope. Together, we’ll explore what it means to daily prepare, run with purpose, and press on until the finish line—when we see Christ face-to-face and enter into the fullness of His glory.
In this episode of The Table, we turn to John 13 and other passages of Scripture to reflect on the breathtaking reality that Christ came not to be served, but to serve. From washing His disciples’ feet to laying down His life, Jesus’ constant service to us becomes the source and strength of our service to Him and to others. Join us as we consider how the gospel continues to transform the way we live, reminding us that we have been, and continue to be, served by Christ so that we might serve in His name.
In a world filled with so much pain and trial, how do we endure without losing heart? In this episode of The Table, we look to 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 and 1 Peter 1:3–7, where we see that our strength is not found in ourselves but in Christ, our Living Hope. God gives purpose in the midst of pain, using trials to refine our faith. We see that His strength guards us for the eternal glory to come, lifting our hearts from suffering to the joy of His abiding presence.
We’re back at The Table for Season 3! In this first episode, we return to one of the most foundational passages for our pursuit of gospel clarity—1 Corinthians 15. This text has shaped so many of our conversations and continues to anchor our understanding of the gospel. Join us as we reflect, re-center, and revisit of first importance the message that defines and drives all we do.
In this episode of The Table, we go back to Genesis 3 to find some fresh insights from one of the most pivotal moments in Scripture, the fall in the garden. We explore the subtle schemes of the enemy and how he works to clear the path for sin, using distortion and doubt to draw hearts away from God. Join us as we reflect on the warnings and the hope that still echo from Eden.
In this episode we dive into the deep significance of baptism, not just as a symbol but as a personal, powerful response to Christ’s call. We explore why answering that call individually matters and how baptism marks the beginning of a life lived in obedience to Jesus. We also talk about our role in discipling others, encouraging them to take this step of faith and continue walking in faithful obedience. Join us as we reflect on what it means to be buried with Him and raised to new life.
In this episode of The Table, Mitchell shares about his recent trip to Israel. From walking where Jesus walked to praying where He prayed, he opens up about what the Lord revealed to him during that time. Join us for a meaningful conversation filled with personal reflections, spiritual insight, and a fresh perspective on God's heart for His people.
In this episode of The Table, we explore the powerful role of song in the life of God's people. From the Psalms to the New Testament, Scripture consistently calls believers to sing, not just as an act of worship, but as a means through which God accomplishes incredible work among His people. We dive into how singing strengthens faith, unites the church, reminds us of God's promises and reinforces the teaching of biblical truth. Join us as we reflect on the beauty and purpose of singing to the Lord.
God designed His church to be “attractional”—but not in the way many might think. It’s not about big events led by dynamic worship leaders and eloquent speakers. Rather, it’s about our love for one another. In this episode, we dive into Ephesians 4 and explore attractional evangelism through the lens of church unity. We discuss how maintaining unity serves as a powerful witness to the world of the transforming power of the gospel.
In this episode of The Table, we explore God's unwavering zeal for the holiness of His temple. Join us as we discuss passages from 1 Corinthians 6, Leviticus 10, and more, examining how God's desire for purity and reverence in His dwelling place transcends both time and context.
In this episode of The Table, we explore various passages, including John 8, to examine the marks of a true disciple of Jesus. We discuss how Jesus emphasizes that being His disciple isn't just about a strong start but about our continuing to abide in Him. In a culture where it’s easy to claim the label of "Christian," we reflect on what Jesus says truly defines those who belong to Him.
How do we maintain the passion and zeal we experience at events like the Clarity Conference? In this episode, we explore Acts 2 and reflect on how God uses His graces to continually stir us toward His mission. Join us as we discuss practical ways to keep the fire alive and stay committed to the work of the Kingdom long after the conference ends.
Join us for the Season 2 premiere of The Table as we explore the powerful legacy of Joshua's grandfather, Henry, and the lasting impact of passing down faith through the generations. Through heartfelt stories and reflections, we discuss the vital role of teaching our children and grandchildren not just through words, but through actions, and how these lessons shape future generations for God’s glory and the spread of the gospel.
As Christians, we often hear the call to reflect Jesus in our words, actions, and thoughts — but where does this transformation begin, and how is it sustained? In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between beholding Christ and reflecting Him in our lives.
In Luke 5:16, we read that "Jesus often withdrew to desolate places and prayed." In this episode, we reflect on the significance of this pattern in Jesus' life and the call to eliminate distractions to create space for focused prayer. Though it's not always easy in a world full of noise, carving out these quiet moments is essential for deepening our relationship with God. Join us at the table as we explore the necessity of prayer in desolate places.
In this episode, we take a look at Psalm 77 and the danger of spiritual amnesia—forgetting God's mighty works in our lives. As Asaph grapples with doubt and despair, he learns the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness. Join us as we unpack how spiritual amnesia can cloud our hope and how deliberately recalling God’s salvation empowers us to trust Him, even in the darkest seasons.
In John 17, Jesus defines the true meaning of eternal life. It’s not merely about a future place or time; it’s about knowing God—intimately, personally, and relationally. Join us as we explore how this truth reshapes our understanding of the gospel, revealing that the ultimate gift and goal of salvation is not just life after death, but the restoration of our relationship with the Father through the Son.
In life, anxiety seems inevitable and inescapable. So what are we, as Christians, to do? How can we handle our anxiety in a God-honoring way? Pull up a seat…
