To the Table

Welcome  To the Table.   Just based on the title, you probably already feel that familiar uncomfortable feeling of stepping outside of your comfort zone.   I’m so grateful that my friend, Katie Racki, agreed to sit down and talk about how hard it can be to seek out new community when your personality tends to be a little more reserved. Regardless of your personality, it can be hard to step out of...

Welcome  To the Table.  We are heading into a new series today – we're talking about why we need community. I know, we talk about this ALL the time here, but we’re going somewhere, I promise. I am sitting down with my sister to talk about what community looks like for us, how they support us (and we show up for them), and why it’s important to live life with others. Grab a seat and join us as...

Welcome  To the Table.  We’re jumping back into relationships today, specifically chatting about the season of engagement. As you’ll soon see, there’s so much of this conversation that is for me and hopefully you too. There are several themes that keep coming up in this episode, but the one that really stands out to me is this idea of obedience – which we often think of when we’re parenting childr...

Welcome  To the Table.  Today we’re diving right into singleness and what that looks like for young adults in 2026.

If you’re engaged or married, there’s some good advice on how to love on and care for your single...

Welcome  To the Table.  Life is full of waiting seasons. We are talking about singleness today – we know that we were all made to live in community. Some people are truly called to singleness, and even though we breeze past it, there is such a freedom/blessing in that calling. Other people, though, especially young adults, find themselves single and waiting for “the one”. We’re talking about chang...

Welcome  To the Table.  We’re back with our first episode answering a listener question! Last episode, we talked about what it looks like to live in the world but not of it. This week we’re taking it a step further and talking about what it practically looks like to live life as a believer, especially as a young adult, just getting out into the world on your own.  While some of the answers might s...

Welcome back  To the Table.  When you hear Romans 12:2 – do not be conformed to this world – what does that really mean in your everyday life? What about when you end up choosing a certain path when other people around you don’t see the point? How do we honor the Lord in our everyday life, pointing people back to Jesus? These are some big questions. Join us as we tackle them together. We’ve got a...

Welcome back  To the Table.  Consider this episode a little message from us. There are a few things we want you to know about us and we took this opportunity to talk about it.

Most importantly, thanks for being here with us. It’s such an honor to have you 🤍  Show Notes 🗒️  Want to find the resources shared here and help sup...

Welcome back  To the Table.  There’s a little hesitation here (and you’ll soon see why) but, we’re talking about our goals for this year. Jenna and I sat down to talk about why we’re doing the podcast still, what we hope happens because of it, and plenty of other things in between. If you are here with us, listening for the first time OR every time, thank you for your support. We’re so glad to hav...

Welcome back  To the Table.  It is such a treat to share this conversation with you today. If you are in need of encouragement, I hope and pray you find it here. What started as a conversation about mentoring quickly turned into a chance to lean in and hear some encouragement and wisdom from a well-seasoned mentor. We all have women in our life that set an example for us, whose walk we’re watching...

Welcome back  To the Table.  We just spent several weeks talking about all kinds of things that you can do to grow your relationship with the Lord. But why? Why does it matter? Why is it worth our time? Today’s guest has plenty of proof to show why it’s worth it. After walking through so many seasons of joy and deep sorrow, you can believe her when she says it matters. It all matters. It all count...

Welcome back  To the Table.  The title gives this one away – which, I guess most titles do. Anyways, we are sitting down together to talk about some of our biggest takeaways from these last several weeks and some new things we’re putting into practice on a more regular basis. Key theme: every bit counts. The Lord knows your heart and he’ll use whatever you commit to him – for his glory and for you...

Welcome back  To the Table.  Today we’re talking about worship—not only the songs we sing, but a whole way of living that continually turns our hearts toward the Lord. Worship shapes how we think, respond, and move through our everyday moments. You’ll hear simple, practical ways to weave worship into your routine, whether you’re driving to work, managing household chaos, or spending time with litt...

Welcome back  To the Table.  Today’s focus is the Word – reading, studying, memorizing – all of it. You’ll hear this soon, but being the Word brings us to a place of worship. It refocuses our hearts and draws us into a deeper relationship with the Lord. I hope you’re encouraged to jump in – whether you’ve been studying the Word for the last 20 years or you’ve never read it for yourself.   Show Not...

Welcome back  To the Table.  Thank you for joining us for this week’s conversation. Today’s practice may seem like no big deal, but it often ends up being left off the list. We’re talking about rest. As we’re learning today, there’s a lot of different kinds of rest, but they all originate from the Father. Jesus himself tells us to come to Him, if we’re tired and weary, and he will give us the rest...

Welcome back  To the Table.  Thanks for joining us for this week’s conversation. Today’s practices are thankfulness & giving – which really helps grow our relationship with the Lord as we refocus on his goodness and trust that he always provides – He is Jehovah Jireh, after all. There's a ton of practical ways to practice these 2 disciplines, so grab something to write with, or get ready t...

Welcome back  To the Table.  Thanks for joining us for this week’s conversation. We’re kicking off our spiritual practices series with a conversation about community.
