At the Table

“I just want chocolates on Valentine’s Day… and someone to hold hands with…” #canrelate #sobs 👉🏻👈🏻🍫💐

Ahhhh, nothing like the holiday season to remind us of the pain of being ‘single’. 🥲 For some of us, our singlehood can often feel like one big agonising, beautiful, hot MESS! But what if there was something more to this pain? What if we actually believed that God doesn’t just want us to survive but THRIVE as a single person? Get ready to get REAL with Dani, Joel and Nic Ng as they share their experience of singlehood, call out unhelpful thoughts and behaviours related to the season, and get practical on how we can live out singlehood with freedom and joy. ❤️

IT'S....CHRISTMAS!!!!

Dear friend,

How are you? Really.

In this age of filters and virtual backgrounds, it's easier to cover up rather than admit that we are not ok. But friend, there is no shame in admitting we need help. This episode, our lovely friend Naomi shares her courageous story of walking through the valleys of mental health challenges. We remember that hope is found in the darkest places, that the burden is easier when shared, and that every small victory is worth celebrating.

Dear friend, if you are struggling, you are truly not alone. Do not be afraid to let Jesus and others into your journey!

….aaand we’re back with part 2 of our conversation on Vocation, with the one and only Friar Derrick Yap, OFM!

Once upon a time, Joel thought that answering God’s call meant spending 3 hours in prayer every day, giving up Lady Gaga songs and (gasp) listening to Gregorian Chants all the time. (No shade on anyone who does this tho - good on you!!!!) In this episode, Friar Derrick, Joel and Daryl speak into the misconception that following your vocation necessarily means giving up the joys of life, and the fundamental truth that vocation is about listening to the voice of Love. For anyone discerning your purpose in life, or just wanting to understand vocation more, this is a jam-packed ep not to be missed!

This episode covers:

🌟 Learning to receive your vocation as a gift to be unravelled

🌟 The importance of finding a mentor to discern with you, and how that can be healing

🌟 “If God really cared about me, why won’t He just give me what I want?”

🌟 The purpose of suffering and sacrifice in the context of vocation

🌟 How to trust the ‘slow’ work of God in an instant-answer world

…. And MORE!

If you haven’t caught part 1, we encourage you to do so before listening to part 2!! ❤️
