The debate concerning the role and engagement of Christianity with the world has raged unabated for many years. It has reared its ugly head more than a few times since the time of Christ. With the rise of modernism, Christians broke into two distinct camps. Just like...
My wife and I spent a great deal of time naming our kids. We wanted classic, simple, sweet-sounding first names for our daughters, and so our girls were named Emma and Anna accordingly. With that naming strategy, we established an unintentional pattern (vowel,...
“What is the Gospel?” I think I’ve asked this question a thousand times over the last few years. I always expect some variation in answers; I just wasn’t prepared for so many to be dazed and confused by the question. “It’s the good news, right?” “Yes” I would say,...
My first job out of college was as a staff auditor for a CPA firm. As far as accounting firms go this one was pretty good, but it only took two busy seasons for me to realize this wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. One Christmas Eve, I found myself 3...
It’s hard to jump into a new television series in season 3. You have no context for the characters, why they act the way the do, how they’re connected to one another, or where they’re going. Perhaps you can piece together enough to get your bearings, but you miss so...

Last year, The Stone Table partnered with four Indiana churches to underwrite the start-up costs of a small portfolio of BAM (Business as Mission) projects around the world. One of the most impactful (and let’s face it, most fun) is a Crossfit Gym in Alexandria,...
It’s doubtful we would even know the name CS Lewis without JRR Tolkien and the Inklings. These men met regularly at The Eagle and Child, a pub near the campus of Oxford University, to talk about life, theology, and their developing writing projects. Some of the...
Many missionaries admit they have no real business training. Their call to be a missionary never envisioned being an entrepreneur. In today’s world, however, the best way to build relationships and make an impact is through business. This week we sat down with Mike...
The Stone Table started as a global missions organization and, although we talk a lot about faith and work, we are really about the Great Commission. To go into all of the world to make disciples of all nations. This is our call. This is our why. Billions of people...
