Around the Table

Today we unearth the meaning of Jehovah Jireh with Erica Day. She spent over 7 years living and working in China and is now serving at ASU. Erica shares stories of taxi cab mishaps and how God has been a Jehovah Jireh in her own life. We also look at how this provision given to Abraham and Isaac is pulled forward in the gift of Jesus. 

Holly Butler joins us to talk through Hagar's encounter with El Roi in the wilderness. The three of us wrestle with God asking us to enter back into hard places, but walking into it confident of El Roi-the God who sees. 

This week we sit down with Susie Lackey and talk about El Shaddai. From packing up her life in Colorado and moving to Tempe to my crazy relationship with automated cars, we cover the gamut this week. We also dig into the various angles that make up the name, El Shaddai, through the understanding of a Rabbi from New Jersey. Thanks for coming!

We love launching each season with a Gather Event where we eat together, sing, reconnect with friends and meet new women who are joining an ID group to study with us.  This podcast includes two excerpts from our evening together.  Emma Tautolo interviewed Nicky Stevens, from HOPE, an organization that serves the homeless in our community.  We are excited to partner with HOPE as our Outward Focus this season.  Deana Rogers introduced our new study: The Names of God: To Know Him and Be Known.  Enjoy!

Welcome back to our Spring Season of Around the Table.  We are launching our new study this week about the Names of God and gather around our podcast table to talk about names and their meanings. As we discover the stories behind the names of God, our prayer is that we will encounter Jesus and know more deeply the presence of his Spirit in our lives.

This episode has two parts. We begin with an interview from our October Gather event with Erin Vucurevich and foster mom, Jen Hanson.  Jen opens our eyes to the life of foster care and adoption, her family’s stories,  and the way God and community are vital to caring for the vulnerable.  Next, we hear from  Kiersten Traina and Erin to take a deeper dive into the work of Foster Care, Kinship, and Adoption and how God is and internal part of every piece of that story.

We loved having Sandy Shrader join us at our October Gather Event to highlight our study of Hebrews 7&8.  With both stories and a love of Scripture she helped us think more deeply about Jesus as the One Who Intercedes for Us.  

Listen in as Deana and Caitlin talk about Hebrews 9 and 10: the connections between the Old Covenant and Jesus, and the way we engage our senses to remember our redemption. 

Deana and Caitlin discuss some of the questions we are encountering in our ID groups as we dive into our study of Hebrews.  Be encouraged ro persist in our study —the pieces are coming together! Listen in to their conversation about the spiritual practices they are practicing to grow their faith.
