Flipping Tables

Welcome to the table! I loved having this conversation with Kimberly. I believe you will also love hearing from her. Many of the reasons I love Kimberly simply shine throughout this episode. She is bold and transparent about who she is now and who she is becoming. We talked about last year's highlights, lessons, and much more. I bless God for her life!    In February we're going to be shaping our...

Welcome to the Table!  January is National Human Trafficking Prevention month. Being an advocate for survivors is an area of both calling and passion for me. I was honored to sit at the table with Dr. Jeanne Allert. Jeanne is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Institute for Survivor Care located in La Grange, Kentucky.  Jeanne was a pioneer in this field. In 2007 Jeanne was convicted t...

Welcome to the Table! I'm excited to kick off season 3 with Twila Brown. We're easing into January by taking some time to reflect on 2024 and dream about 2025. Coming out of 2024 it was important for me to release a long exhale. I needed to get my heart, body, and mind back into a good working rhythm. Our conversation will give you a little bit of insight into how we both do this. I hope it helps...

Welcome to the table! We're wrapping up the series on The Church at Philippi. I tried to bring some new perspectives on Philippians to the table. This book is a crowd favorite among followers of Jesus or as we call Him, the Table Flipper. I have needed every word of this letter.  Philippians 4 is pretty well known around the Church. We love this chapter which we know best starting at verse 4. I ha...

Welcome to the table! This episode has Twila and I gathering around Philippians 3. Some call this chapter the most loved chapter in the letter. I truly fell in love with Paul's letter to the Church at Philippi in this chapter. However, the most searched verses in Philippians are ones from chapter four. When I think of one verse that has had the biggest impact on my relationship with Jesus, hand's...

Welcome to the Table! I invited Twila to co-host this episode. We discussed how Philippians is helping us navigate life right now. If you're craving an honest conversation where a couple of Jesus followers are trying to apply Paul's letter to our lives, this is the episode for you. We might use more words than you would or maybe you want more. Let this conversation springboard you to conversations...

Welcome to the table! In the fifth episode in our study of Philippians we take on Paul's exhortation to seek unity and apply humility to all of our relationships. Easier said than done! It seems everywhere we turn there's a headline or a conversation about how divided we are as a nation. The Church isn't doing much better. Kimberly and I try to stay in our lane. We talk about our struggles with se...

Welcome to the table! This is the fourth episode in our series on Philippians. Kimberly joined me for the second half of chapter 1. We tried to get into the anxious feelings the Church at Philippi was having listening to the letter. All they wanted to know was how Paul was doing. What a relief for them to find out that in spite all of that had happened to Paul in the five years since they had seen...

Welcome to the table! I'm joined by Kimberly. She is one of my partners in the gospel. We do kind of an overview of Paul's letter to the Church at Philippi. We bounce all over the book as we try to get to know this Church. We discuss the timeline of Paul's life. I share some of my conversion story.  Philippians 1:1-11 Paul's timeline   Join our Flourish community at our three tables:  • Table 1 is...

Welcome to the table!  We're continuing to work our way through Acts 16. We're looking at the events which took place surrounding the beginning of the Church at Philippi. God worked through missteps, opposition, and persecution to bring an entire household to faith in Christ. In Acts 16 we meet an unnamed jailer who became another one of the living stones being built into the framework of the Chur...

Welcome to the table! We're kicking off our study of Philippians by going back to the beginning of their story. Study of Philippians: The house church at Philippi and beyond with the women who led there. We're starting in Acts 16. This is part one in our getting to know the individuals who became the living stones who formed the church at Philippi. My daughter Lydia is named after the influential...

Welcome to the table!  Friends, this is a very special episode.  This conversation has been on my heart for almost a year.  We're talking about one of those subjects Christians try to avoid talking about.  It's one of the hot topics of the election season... immigration. Hang with me! We can have this conversation. You're going to be glad you listened. I invited Bri Stensrud to the table to help u...

Welcome to the table! In this episode we turn to Romans 16 to discover what we can learn about Paul and the early Church. Romans is a letter that helps us to know what we believe and why we believe it. Romans is a deep well of church doctrine. Doctrine is a big word that in no way should intimidate us. Doctrine simply means a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church etc.  Paul sent a w...

Welcome to the Table! Kimberly joined me for a conversation that was a continuation of our book club discussion from the night before. We are loving our conversations around the Beth Guckenberger's Warrior of Eden .  I hope this conversation prompts you to get a copy of the book and maybe even start a book club. Kimberly's son Clark gives book club a five star review. He always wants to come to bo...

Welcome to the Table! I had my original co-hosts, Twila and Kimberly, finally back at the table. Woo-hoo! It was so good to push reset on the podcast with them.  Sometimes you need to pause and recalibrate.  We discuss in the episode how we are not the same women we were when we started journeying together. The three of us are growing in knowledge and wisdom.  We have learned to hold things loosel...

Welcome to the table! This is our fourth conversation in the water with lemon series. My guest is Charliese Lewis. She brings 30 years of ministry experience to the table. We discuss her calling, ministry, work, health, and even talk about our age. This conversation reminds us God is in all the details of our lives. He knows our days and spaces before one of them comes to into being.  I personally...

Welcome to the table! We're taking a few weeks to prepare for the fall series. So we will not be releasing new episodes for a few weeks. I thought this would be a great opportunity to tell you what we're working on for the fall series. Here's a hint: It's one of Paul's prison letters. We still have some great conversations coming in the Water With Lemon end of summer series. One that we're extra e...

Welcome to the table! My guest for this third episode in our summer series is Alva Skiles. Alva brought great insights to the table. She has lived a long life faithfully serving God and others. She has been a teacher, a nurse, a missionary, and a pastor just to name a few of the many roles she has filled. She also happens to be Kimberly's aunt.    I loved talking with her. This episode is about a...

Welcome to the table! This is the first episode in the summer series "Water with Lemon". Just like a slice of lemon adds a zesty twist to your glass of water, this series aims to bring a fresh perspective to various topics, making your summer days hopefully a bit brighter. At this table, we love bright spots! My guest Renee Flynn was a bright spot for me at an event I attended a few months ago. Sh...

Welcome to the table! I invited Amy Hayden and Susan Snodgrass back for this special back to school episode. I wanted to speak to an educator currently working in a high school and in a middle school to gain fresh insights into what they encounter. These women are empowering students and coming along side them to as Amy said: " Be their most authentic and genuine selves in a world that makes them...

Welcome to the table! I hope you can sit down at a table for this episode. I believe Jesus has a word for you. I LOVE John 21! Every time I read this chapter, Jesus has at least one for me. Let me encourage you to prayerfully listen to this episode.  I'm so happy Twila was able to be at the table with me. She and I got to stand on the Sea of Galilee where this chapter unfolded in 2021. It was an e...

Welcome to the table! My friend Amy Hayden joins me to reflect on what we've learned studying John's gospel. For seven months we've gone all in with John. Amy and her husband listen to the podcast. They do the Table 2 lessons. Amy has been a part of the Table 3 community that meets to discuss the reflection questions. If you know her, you already love her. If not, you will love her after this epis...

Welcome to the table! This episode contains the climactic moment in John. Mary Beth is back to teach us. We had a great conversation. I love it when she's here. I get to sit back, learn and talk to my favorite Bible teacher. After six episodes, I bet she's also moving up you list of favorites. I have a soft spot for Thomas. Don't call him doubting Thomas in my presence unless you wanna fight. LOL!...

Welcome to the table! Who's ready to gather around the empty tomb? We finally get to talk about the resurrection. Mary Magdalene is my favorite woman in scripture. Well, at least the New Testament. She was a woman with a broken heart coming to serve Jesus. She needed to be near Jesus. I don't believe she was expecting to encounter her Risen Lord. Love brought Mary to the tomb. Jesus rewarded her w...

Welcome to the table! In this episode Kimberly and I finish John 19. We discuss wrapping up to-do things on the redemption list with a few more prophesies being crossed off. The religious leaders were ecstatic to have crossed Jesus off their to-do list. Only thing left to do was get Him off the cross before their Passover/ Days of Unleavened Bread celebrations kicked off.  I regret using the phras...
