ABOUT
FLIPPIN' TABLES
We’re Cheryl and Jonathan, the people behind Flippin’ Tables.
Flippin’ Tables is the umbrella for the work we create through speaking, coaching, courses, podcasts, books, and practical resources. Everything we build is grounded in faith, healing, truth, and real life.
Cheryl Christopher-Roulston, known as Cece, leads much of the public-facing work across speaking, teaching, coaching, courses, and podcasts. She is passionate about honest conversations, practical support, and helping people find healing without pressure to pretend.
Jonathan Roulston is co-founder of Flippin’ Tables and co-author (with Cheryl) under the name J.R. Cece. He plays a key role in the shared vision, shaping the books, resources, and wider ministry direction that sit under the Flippin’ Tables umbrella.
Together, we create work that is faith-grounded, deeply human, and built to help people heal, grow, and rise.

OUR
BRAND & LOGO
We chose the Lamb to lead our brand for a reason —
not just because it’s biblical, but because it flips expectations.
It points to the kind of faith we believe in, not performative, but real.
Just like the journey we’re all on.
For us, the brand has never been about image first. It is about what the work points to: truth, healing, growth, and the invitation to become who God created you to be.
Across Flippin’ Tables, that heart shows up in the way we teach, write, speak, coach, and create resources for people walking through real life.
THE
HISTORY
Flippin’ Tables began with holy frustration and a deep sense
that faith had become too performative, too polished, and too disconnected from real life.
The name comes from the moment Jesus flipped the tables, not because He was reckless, but because He was confronting what had become empty, performative, and far from the heart of God. That picture stayed with us, and it shaped the kind of work we wanted to build.
Over the years, we watched Christianity get buried under judgment, fake smiles, and shallow answers. That’s not the Jesus we know. That’s not the gospel He lived. So, we decided to flip the narrative.
Someone once told us, “Most people don’t like Christianity because they’ve either met a Christian… or they haven’t.”
That hit hard. And it stuck.
We started with something simple: rubs and salts, each one named to spark curiosity and start real conversations. What began as a market stall slowly became something more. The products opened the door, but the deeper call was always people, story, healing, and truth.
Over time, Flippin’ Tables grew into a wider body of work that now includes speaking, coaching, courses, podcasts, books, and practical resources.
The mission has stayed the same: to help people encounter truth, healing, and the real Jesus with their messy faith.
Where it all began
Flippin’ Tables began with something simple — rubs and salts, each one named to spark curiosity and start real conversations.
What started as a stall became a story, and that story opened doors to deeper stories about faith, pain, and redemption. Today, Flippin’ Tables has grown into a teaching and speaking ministry, helping others encounter Jesus through honesty, humour, and hope.
THE STORIES
BEHIND OUR SEASONINGS
91 SHADOWS
Shelter in the right places, and you will find peace.
Where you run to when life hits matters.
You can either hide in chaos or shelter in truth.
Psalm 91 doesn’t sugarcoat it — life gets dark. Fear creeps in. The world goes mad. And your own mind? Sometimes it’s the loudest battlefield.
But peace? Real peace?
It doesn’t come from numbing out, chasing likes, or fake validation.
It comes from knowing who you are — and whose you are — and sheltering there.
In the identity you were created with, not the one you’ve been sold.
You weren’t made to break under pressure.
You were made to stand in the storm, covered by something unshakable.
CHOOKS, HOOKS N' HOOVES
Your past doesn’t define your future.
This name? It’s not random.
It’s built on the story of Peter — the fisherman with a temper, the guy
who promised loyalty and then denied Jesus three times before the rooster
(chook) crowed.
He started with hooks in his hands and ended up with hooves in a vision that broke religion wide open.
His story was messy.
Yours probably is too.
But guess what? That mess doesn’t disqualify you — it prepares you.
Your failures, your shame, your old labels — none of it defines who you were created to be.
Rip 'em off. Burn 'em down.
Step into your real identity — the one that was written in grace, not guilt.
Because redemption hits different when you know what you’ve been saved from.
CORNERSTONE
Out of great pain, comes great power!
This name was born from the moments that break you — when escape feels impossible and everything inside you wants to tap out.
But that’s exactly when you dig deep. That’s when you find your cornerstone
— the unshakable core of who you really are.
We don't change lives by flexing our wins.
We do it by showing our wounds — the scars we earned in the fight to survive.
Because scars? They’re not weakness.
They’re proof you didn’t stay down.
They’re the battle marks of someone who refused to quit, even when life came swinging.
Your pain has a purpose.
And when you own it, it becomes your power.
LIGHT N' PSALTY
Stay bright, and don’t lose your flavour!
This name flips the script.
We weren’t put here to dim down or play safe — we were called to light it up and bring the kind of flavour this world’s starving for.
Not bland religion. Not fake smiles.
Real love. Raw grace. Truth that actually tastes like freedom.
We weren’t sent to judge or condemn — Jesus already made
that clear.
We’re here to walk in rooms and shift atmospheres.
To love people without filters, hate, or holier-than-thou energy.
Be light in dark places. Be salt in a tasteless world.
Stay bold. Stay psalty.
And never apologize for loving hard and living loud.
JOPPA'S TWIST
Love is not words or feelings, but
actions. Love is a decision.
This name was born from two men — Jonah and Peter — both caught in the chokehold of judgment and bitterness.
Both thought they were right.
Both didn’t want to extend love to people who didn’t look, live, or believe like them.
Enter Joppa.
The place where God disrupted their mindset and flipped their worldview.
Where excuses died and grace took over.
Joppa was the twist — the plot shift that turned their prejudice into purpose.
Because love? Real love? It’s not a feeling. It’s warfare against ego.
It’s choosing mercy when you’d rather cancel someone.
And that twist? It didn’t just change them.
It changed the world.
VALLEY OF DRY BONES
The Lamb in the Valley
Yeah — that’s a Lamb.
And yeah — those are skeletons.
It’s a visual punch straight from Ezekiel 37: the valley of dry bones.
Death everywhere. Hope nowhere. Until breath — divine, defiant breath — brings
the dead to their feet.
That Lamb? He’s not running from the wreckage.
He’s dancing in it.
Because Jesus doesn’t avoid the broken places — He walks straight into them.
Into trauma. Into shame. Into death.
And He flips it all.
This image is a battle cry.
Life where there was death.
Joy in the middle of grief.
Movement where there was nothing but dust.
It’s not just art.
It’s resurrection — with a little grit and a lot of glory.
PALM SUNDAY
This time, the Lamb’s rolling in with horsepower and purpose.
Palm Sunday wasn’t a parade — it was a protest.
Jesus didn’t roll into Jerusalem for applause. He came to flip the system,
break religion, and walk straight into betrayal with grit in His soul and love in His bones. The Kombi van? It's a symbol of movement, mission, and choosing the road less taken.
The Lamb behind the wheel means this:
He’s not just coming to save you.
He’s coming for everything that ever tried to destroy you.
This ain’t your usual Palm Sunday.
This is holy disruption — Jesus, driving straight into death so you could finally live.
STORY OF JONAH
The Lamb on the Whale
It’s not a nursery rhyme.
It’s rebellion.
A Lamb riding a whale? Yeah — we went there.
Because Jesus is the better Jonah.
Where Jonah ran, Jesus dove headfirst into the depths.
Into the storm. Into the chaos. Into the belly of the grave itself.
This isn’t just about second chances — it’s about full-on
resurrection.
The Lamb doesn’t sink. He commands the sea.
He doesn’t flee from the call — He fulfills it.
This image? It’s not cute.
It’s confrontational.
It says your past doesn’t disqualify you.
Your rock bottom isn’t the end of the story.
And even in the darkest place, Jesus is already there — riding what was meant
to swallow you.
