The sweet potato pie might be perfect—but the conversation? That’s another story. This episode dives into the beautifully chaotic reality of gathering with the people we love… but don’t always like during the holidays. Using Genesis 2:24 as our guide—“That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh”—we explore what it means to create unity and grace at a table that often feels divided.

From awkward questions to heartfelt moments, Surviving the Holiday Table reminds us that love doesn’t mean agreeing on everything—it means showing up, choosing connection, and finding holiness even in the mess.
