A Bigger Table invites listeners to envision a church that is big enough for everyone, by holding up a mirror to the modern church and speaking clearly on issues at the heart of the Christian community: LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, global concerns, and theological shifts.

In Storycraft, renowned author Walter Wangerin, Jr. explores the power of narrative and storytelling to impact message, messenger, and hearer.

Together, Wangerin's reflections create a theology of story that shows how the Word of God takes on flesh in practiced speech.

Revival was never meant to come and go, ebb and flow. In fact, it’s not God who taps out of revival; it’s us.
