The To The Table podcast is an incredibly enjoyable and engaging show that brings together a fantastic cast of hosts who have a multitude of interesting things to share. Their camaraderie and rapport are evident throughout each episode, creating a delightful atmosphere that is both informative and entertaining. It is the perfect podcast for those looking to have a few laughs while also expanding their knowledge.
One of the best aspects of The To The Table podcast is undoubtedly the diverse range of topics that are covered in each episode. From discussions about faith and spirituality to conversations about personal growth and life experiences, there is something for everyone. This variety ensures that every listener can find something they can relate to or learn from, making it an incredibly inclusive and engaging show.

Their unique perspectives and personalities add depth and authenticity to each episode, providing listeners with multiple points of view on any given topic. This dynamic creates a well-rounded experience that allows for different insights and opinions to be heard, fostering meaningful discussions and encouraging personal growth.
However, one potential downside of The To The Table podcast is that it may not appeal to everyone's taste. While it is undoubtedly enjoyable for individuals in junior high and high school who are seeking guidance in their faith journey while also having some fun, it may not resonate as strongly with older or more mature audiences. Some listeners might find the content to be too simplistic or lighthearted for their liking, craving deeper discussions or analysis instead.
In conclusion, The To The Table podcast is an exceptional show that successfully combines laughter with learning. Its diverse range of topics and the engaging dynamic among its hosts make it an enjoyable experience for all listeners, particularly those in junior high and high school who are looking to grow in their faith while also having a good time. Despite potentially not resonating with some older or more mature audiences, this podcast remains a great choice for anyone seeking an entertaining and educational listen.

The staff take their time discussing the topic for this week: disagreeing. We learn what books they haven't finished reading, and in our “Oldies vs Youngies” segment Adam and Lee get called old.

We learn more about the staff through more of Adam's strange “Desert Island” questions, dive into the famous “love” chapter of Corinthians, and don't have a dessert segment because Mason hit wrong buttons and it disappeared.

In this Valentine's day (a few days late) edition of To the Table, Mason gets the short end of the stick in a trivia point system (that he came up with), the staff discuss judging in their award-winning main course, and then bookend the episode like a bunch of pros and talk about best and worst Valentine's Day things.

Weeeeeeeee'rrrrrreeeee back! The staff sit down and reminisce on all the good times and good memories 2020 brought (at one point Hoops yells “WHAT IS GOING ON” and that pretty much sums it up). We then look ahead to 2021 and discuss our Words of the Year, our Resolutions, our goals, anything and everything. Also, this is unfortunately Derek's last episode. Listen on to hear his story about where he's going and what he'll be doing! While we are all sad he's leaving, we are beyond thankful for the friendship and mentorship he's shown our staff and students over the last 5 years. Derek, we are so excited to see where your talents continue to take you!

Celebrate good times, come on. On the LAST EPISODE OF THE FIRST SEASON (tear) the staff talk about the last spiritual discipline: celebration. We learn what desert island items people would bring (let's just say some wouldn't survive), and Adam doesn't know where Jesus was born.

The staff goes deep and gets vulnerable about this week's discipline: service. Kate knows everything, Adam hates blimps, and Derek eats a pickle. Mentioned in this episode: “Celebration of Discipline” by Richard Foster"Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller"Scary Close" by Donald Miller
Simplicity seems like a simple (see what I did there?) discipline to understand, but it goes far beyond just being about minimalism. The staff explore all aspects of simplicity, answer some really strange “Would You Rather” questions, and hear some “Florida Man” headlines that are stranger than you might think. Mentioned in this episode:• “Celebration of Discipline” by Richard Foster• "Spiritual Disciplines Handbook" by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun
The staff dives deep into the discipline of solitude and why being silent and still can be so scary at times. We hear Lee's great Irish accent, Mason drools everywhere, and the dessert segment gets LOUD.

Fasting: what is it? How do you do it? Is it only about not eating? This week the staff explore the discipline of fasting and the various ways you can participate in it. The staff answer some personal questions off the Proust Questionnaire, and try their hand at “kid” trivia. It doesn't go that well. Mentioned in this episode:• Try out the Proust Questionnaire for yourself
This week, the staff discusses the discipline “study,” what it means to study as a Christian, and how that term has changed for them as they've grown spiritually. We learn that some of the staff are experts in other things besides youth ministry and that LITERALLY EVERYONE is good at tongue twisters. Mentioned in this episode: Richard Foster's “Celebration of Discipline”
In their inaugural episode, the BUMC Student Ministry staff discuss how the pandemic has been affecting their current habits and schedules and learn what unpopular opinions each of them hold. Hannah shows her prowess at European sports trivia, and Adam DOES NOT like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
