  • The Table | Ep 07: The Future Feast featuring Naomi Chua
    Mar 29 2026

    In this final episode of The Table series, we wrap up our journey by looking toward the ultimate celebration: the future feast described in Revelation. Joined by Naomi Chua, we explore the "wedding feast of the lamb"—a beautiful vision of a table where every tribe, tongue, and nation finally finds their seat. Naomi helps us see that this isn't just a distant hope, but guides how we live, gather, and act for justice today.

    The conversation is a stirring reminder that every time we practice hospitality or work to end poverty, we are rehearsing for this great, inclusive feast. As the series concludes, we recap the calls to adventure over the past seven weeks, and take up the call to take our place -- and invite others to take theirs -- at God's table of grace and justice.

  • The Table | Ep 06: Eyes Opened at the Table featuring Sam Fagan
    Mar 22 2026

    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.

  • The Table | Ep 05: Table Manners featuring Kuki Rokhum
    Mar 15 2026

    In this conversation, we travel to India to sit down with Kuki Rokhum, Director of Church Engagement at A Rocha. Together, we look at the powerful and challenging imagery of 1 Corinthians 11, where the early church is called out for creating "private tables" while others go hungry. Kuki helps us see that the table is meant to be a place of radical equality, where we don't just share a meal, but we share our lives, our resources, and our struggles.

    This episode taps into global challenges like climate change and hunger, encountering hope along the way. Kuki reminds us that when we choose to eat justly, we participate in a table of grace and generosity that honors everyone’s dignity. It’s a beautiful invitation to ask God for wisdom in how we live alongside our global neighbors, ensuring that everyone has a seat and enough to eat.
