Emily T. Wierenga joins us to talk about what it means to move beyond simply taking Communion and begin living in communion with Jesus.

In her new 70-day devotional, Commune with Me: An Invitation to Feast with Jesus, Emily draws from her own journey with anorexia and faith to explore our deepest hunger, the presence of Jesus, and His invitation to come to the table and be filled.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• What we’re really hungry for—and where we look for satisfaction
• Emily’s journey with anorexia and how God met her
• The difference between taking Communion and living it
• What it means to be satisfied by the presence of Jesus
• Fellowship, shared life, and the Body of Christ
• How Communion changes the way we love and serve others
• What it means to “become communion to the world”
• Learning to experience deeper fellowship with Jesus in everyday life

If you’re longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus or finding yourself hungry for something the world can’t satisfy, this conversation is an invitation to come to the table and discover the One who meets us there.

We live in a world where we’re constantly connected, yet loneliness, distraction, and division can leave us feeling more disconnected than ever. What if one of the places we can begin rebuilding meaningful connection is right at our own table?

Pastor and author Ian Simkins joins us to talk about his new book, Every Table an Altar: Reclaiming Connection in a World of Division, Distraction, and Loneliness. Ian looks at the way Jesus used the table as a place of welcome, relationship, and transformation, and what that can teach us about being truly present with God and with one another.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Why so many of us feel lonely and disconnected
• What the tables of Jesus teach us about connection and belonging
• How distraction is affecting our ability to be present with one another
• Why the table can become a sacred place in our everyday lives
• Making room for people who are different from us
• The difference between entertaining and truly welcoming people
• How ordinary meals can become opportunities for deeper relationship
• Practical ways to create more meaningful connection in our homes and communities

You don’t need a perfect home or an elaborate meal to make room for people. Ian reminds us that something as ordinary as sitting down together can become an opportunity to slow down, pay attention, welcome others, and experience the presence of God in everyday life.

Jen Wilkin joins us to talk about aging wisely in a culture that tells us to resist getting older at every turn.
