What do you do when the person you married becomes someone you no longer recognize—and you're left clinging to God just to survive the day?

In this raw and deeply moving episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown sits down with Georgia Morris, author of Unfailing Love: Freedom from Abuse, Shame, and Control of a Schizophrenic Spouse. Georgia’s story is one of unimaginable pain—married to a man who became emotionally and physically abusive, isolated her from her family, and battled severe mental illness.

But her story doesn’t end in despair. It's a testimony of God’s sustaining grace, of pressing into worship and prayer when the darkness felt overwhelming, and of learning to walk in continual forgiveness even while still living in the storm.

What if the very thing you’re hiding is the thing God wants to heal—and use to bring freedom to others?

In this moving episode of At This Table, Shelly Brown sits down with Sherry Hoppen, author of Sober Cycle, to talk about the secret addiction she kept hidden for over a decade—and the thousand-mile bike ride she hoped would finally make it go away.

What followed was not instant transformation, but a journey of detoxing on the road, failing and trying again, and ultimately reaching the kind of surrender that only comes when you’re at the end of yourself.

Sherry shares candidly about the shame she carried as a Christian woman battling alcohol addiction, the loneliness of hiding, and the day everything changed. She also offers hope for women who feel like they’ve failed too many times to try again.

This episode is full of grit, grace, and the gentle reminder that God never wastes our pain—and He always has more freedom waiting on the other side of surrender.

In this heartwarming episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown welcomes Redemption Press children’s author Vicky Wedel, who shares the inspiration behind her two beautifully illustrated Bible storybooks for kids: The Wonder at the Well and A Short Man with Tons of Change.

Vicky brings to life the powerful, personal encounters of two very different people—the woman at the well and Zacchaeus—both of whom had life-changing moments with Jesus. Through these relatable, child-friendly retellings, Vicky helps kids see that no matter what we've done or where we've been, Jesus meets us with love and calls us to something greater.

In this special episode of At This Table, we’re pulling back the curtain on a real coaching session between Redemption Press author coach Sara Cormany and first-time author Sarah Hu. Rather than our usual author interview, you’ll get to eavesdrop on a heart-centered, strategy-filled conversation that offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we walk alongside our authors as they prepare to launch their books.

Sarah shares the tender and powerful backstory behind her book, Courageous Trust, a memoir written for anyone who’s ever said “I can’t” when they really meant “I’m afraid.” With honesty and grace, she talks through the themes of her story—miscarriage, assault, parenting a child battling addiction, financial struggles—and how she’s finding her audience as she steps into this new season.

In this episode, Shelly Brown sits down with author Dana Rausch to discuss her book Shaving Off His Mane, a candid and redemptive look at how small, everyday habits can slowly chip away at a husband’s strength—and what it takes to stop the cycle. Using the striking image of a lion’s mane to represent a husband’s God-given identity and courage, Dana shares from her own story of brokenness, restoration, and hope after decades of marriage.

They explore how a wife’s words, tone, and priorities can either honor or undermine her husband’s role, and how God graciously redeems what feels lost. Dana also opens up about her deeply personal endorsements—written by her children and family members—and the significance of their support.

This episode is filled with wisdom, real-life experience, and honest encouragement for any woman longing to bring healing and strength back to her marriage.

In this heartwarming episode of At This Table, Host, Shelly Brown, sits down with award-winning author, speaker, and podcaster Del Bates to talk about the story behind her beautifully written children’s book, Lamba’s Journey with Jesus. Told through the eyes of a curious little lamb, this three-part rhyming adventure walks children through the birth, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus in a way that’s both engaging and deeply meaningful.

Del shares what inspired the story, the powerful themes of obedience and trust woven throughout, and how parents and grandparents can use this book as a tool to share the gospel with the next generation.
