The Table | Ep 06: Eyes Opened at the Table featuring Sam Fagan

In this episode of The Table, we join Sam Fagan from Tearfund for a walk down the Emmaus Road in Luke 24. Together, we explore that beautiful, mysterious moment where two disciples fail to recognise Jesus until they sit down and break bread with him. Sam reminds us that often, God is hidden in the ordinary rhythms of our lives—the walking, the talking, and the eating.

This conversation is a gentle nudge to slow down and look for the "sacred in the mundane." We discuss how hospitality isn't just about the food on the plate, but about the gift of presence and the intentionality of "paying attention" to the person right in front of us. It’s a wonderful call to adventure: to keep our eyes open for the unexpected guest at our own tables and to realise that when we share what we have, our eyes—and our hearts—are truly opened.
