Cards on the Table

by Casey Sanders

Since 2005, hundreds of men have hung out on Friday mornings at local restaurants for a forum now called CARDS ON THE TABLE. It's the TRUTH about LIES. From 6:30-7:30 am, guys listen to a set up of a topic, then have a twenty minute discussion about stuff guys believe that are not true. Our thinking collides with God's thinking. Guys from this forum discuss on this podcast things we have bumped into on Friday mornings. Check out cardsott.org for more information. We currently meet at OVER THE TOP BURGER BAR in Buford GA just north of Buford High School. Come see us at the VENUE or Zoom and fully participate with us each Friday! In the meantime, listen as we continue to think out loud together as men.

    I recently had a revelation that the war that all believers in Christ have moment by moment in our minds between flesh and Spirit boil down to a choice.
