ABOUT

FLIPPIN' TABLES

We’re JR & Cece — just two people from a beachside town on the edge of Auckland, flipping the script on what it means to live with purpose. One of us is a trucker with a story worth telling. The other’s a psychology-driven corporate visionary from India with a heart for wholeness.
Together, we built Flippin’ Tables not to impress anyone, but to awaken people up to who they were actually created to be.

This isn’t about polished perfection or religious performance. It’s about breaking the labels the world slaps on us — broken, too far gone, too much, not enough — and stepping into something real.

We believe healing doesn’t come from pretending. It comes from love — raw, redemptive, table-flipping kind of love. Loving God. Loving ourselves. Loving our neighbour. That’s it. That’s the core.

Flippin’ Tables is more than a brand — it’s a call to stop settling for survival and start living on purpose. With food, with story, with laughter, and a whole lot of grace.

OUR

VISION

At Flippin’ Tables, we don’t follow trends — we flip ‘em. This brand was built on one core belief: everyone deserves the freedom to show up as their true, unfiltered self. No masks. No labels. No pretending.

After walking through our own messy seasons — the kind that break you down before they build you back up — we developed a deep passion for mental health. That’s why even our spice jars talk back with truth bombs and hope, made to light up your day when you least expect it.

We didn’t build this brand to fit in. We built it to stand out — with intention, grit, and heart. And thanks to the insanely talented Daniel Sun, our logo and branding speak just as loud as our message.

This is more than a vibe. It’s a vision. Raw, inclusive, and ready to stir something real in you.

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. Soft, but
fierce. Humble, but unstoppable. Just like the journey we’re all on.

Our Lamb is walking a three-lane path:

  • Seasonings: that bring heat and heart
  • Cards n' Books: that speak truth and spark healing
  • Apparel: that wears your faith loud, proud, and with a bit of edge

Everything we make reflects the core of Flippin’ Tables — shaking up comfort zones, flipping the script on fear, and going all-in on becoming the real you — the one God created, not the one the world boxed in.

Our apparel? It’s not just merch — it’s movement. We took Bible stories, broke them out of Sunday School, and made them bold, wearable statements.

And our podcast, Saved & Besieged, pulls no punches. We talk love, life, faith, trauma — the stuff most people are too
afraid to say out loud.

But we say it. And we keep it real.

THE

HISTORY

Flippin’ Tables was born from holy frustration.

Jesus didn’t flip tables because He was having a bad day — He flipped them
because people twisted something sacred into a performance. They missed the point, and He wasn’t having it.

We get that. We’ve felt it too.

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.

So now, everything we create — from our rubs n’ salts to our podcast — carries a piece of that mission. Every name has a story. Every product is built to spark curiosity and shift perspectives.

We’re not here to make you religious.

We’re here to help you meet the real Jesus — the table-flipper, the truth-teller, the love-so-deep-it-changes-you kind of Saviour.

THE STORIES

BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS

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.
