As we step into the last stretch of 2025, the holiday season brings more than just gatherings and decorations. It brings reflection and honest faith conversations about where we’ve been and where God is leading us next. For some, this time of year is filled with laughter, family, and joy. For others, it reopens wounds that never quite healed. In this heartfelt episode, Pastor Rick Allen Jr. invites listeners to pull up a chair and take part in “A Testimony for the Table,” drawn from Psalm 9:1–2 (NIV):
“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.”
What does it mean to bring a real testimony to your table this holiday season? Not a rehearsed one, but a testimony that’s full of truth, faith, and thanksgiving? Pastor Rick explores what it looks like to share your testimony at the dinner table, to let your story of struggle and strength point back to Jesus Christ. This episode speaks to those who’ve carried burdens through the year, reminding them that the same God who walked them through pain is preparing a harvest of joy.
Through personal reflection and practical encouragement, Pastor Rick shows that even in the hardest seasons, faith grows stronger. Maybe you’ve been through moments that left you questioning. Maybe you’ve struggled to see God’s hand in the middle of it all. Yet even now, His Word calls us to give thanks with all our heart, to tell of His wonderful deeds, and to rejoice in His name.
In this Christian podcast episode, you’ll learn how to bring three things to your table this holiday season:
1. A Full Heart – True thanksgiving begins when we stop rushing and start recognizing the blessings around us. When we speak from a full heart, our stories turn from worry into worship.
2. A Bold Voice – Someone at your table needs to hear that God still works miracles. Sharing your story isn’t bragging, it’s giving God the credit. This is how faith becomes contagious around the family dinner table.
3. A Joyful Spirit – Real joy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means that even in brokenness, God is still good. A joyful testimony at the dinner table can lift hearts and remind others that hope still has a seat.
This holiday season faith conversation is for anyone who has ever sat quietly while their heart was heavy, for anyone who has felt the ache of silence when asked, “Are you okay?” It’s for the one who has walked through pain and is still standing because of God’s grace. The best testimonies aren’t polished; they’re personal.
Pastor Rick reminds us that joy is not denial. It is determination. When we share our story through the lens of Christ’s victory, hope returns to our homes and hearts. As you gather around your table this Thanksgiving and Christmas season, bring a testimony that’s full, bold, and joyful. Because when the name of the Lord is lifted high, hearts are healed, faith is restored, and someone listening begins to believe again.
