Join Tennison and Ginelle as they continue their conversation with their friend Britton Smith.  Britton, his wife Michelle and 3 boys, have been on RVing across the country for the past 5 months connecting with other pastors that are on the same journey he found himself, that he is still on.  Moving from Pastor to Pioneer.  Britton is the director of Pastors to Pioneer, and there mission is to  help pastors move from managing institutions to pioneering movements of disciples and simple churches in their cities.

In this podcast, listen in as they discuss the journey of the messy middle and the I don't know.  This is the new paradigm of disciple making.  Letting people see you in "all your glory", the true you and not the polished version we are so accustomed to presenting to the word.  Britton talks a little more about his travels and the gift it is to connect to pioneers who are on this journey.  He also lets us in on some of the common themes he has been seeing and hearing.

Britton has been pioneering a simple church and discipleship movement in West Michigan since 2013. Most of that time overlapped with being a senior pastor in a growing traditional church. He now only operates in and shepherds the church that meets in homes. Britton has a passion for helping the church live into all that she is called to be according to the Word. He loves to help pastors in traditional churches see their call from the Word in fresh ways. Britton is married to Michelle, who has a heart for walking with pastors’ spouses. They have three boys who they love watching grow into active participants in the family of God.

What if there was a place where your gifts and insight were welcomed or even required by community? What if there was a space where you brought what you had and took what you needed? What if in this place community equaled family? What if I told you this place existed? It is called the Table!

Join Tennison, Ginelle and Bethany conclude their conversation.  Part of the common human experience is the longing to be seen, known, heard, and loved.  Listen in as they discuss how these desires are met at the Table.  Along with these needs being met, there is another deep longing that is being met at the Table that most people don't even know that they have.  The longing to know that they can meet the needs of others.  The Table is a place that operates in the in the principle of giving and receiving.

What if we could create a space where safety, identity, belonging, and connection resided? What if every time you walked in the room everyone was happy to see you?  What if there was a place where your gifts and insight were welcomed or even required by community? What if there was a space where you brought what you had and took what you needed? What if in this place community equaled family? What if I told you this place existed? It is called the Table!

Join Tennison, Ginelle and Bethany as they continue their conversation about the Table.  Listen in on how Bethany uses the simple rhythms of the Table in multiple arenas of her life.  They discuss how we witnessed someone at our Table go from "I'm not sure why I an here?" to  "I don't want to leave!"  Also, hear some little nuggets of how not trying to fix, and leaving the Table with more questions than answers is a great recipe for transformation.

You know you are in a household.......if someone moves more quietly when you are asleep,  ...If people know things about you that you do not know yourself, and if you did know you would seek to hide, ... If you sometimes dream of running away so you wouldn't be so well known, ...If your return from a long trip sparks a spontaneous celebration.  Are you part of a Household?"

Join Tennison and Ginelle as they conclude their conversation with Jessica.  Listen in as they discuss how we go from strangers to belonging at the Table.  Even though the desire and result of the Table is belonging, safety, and connection. The heart is not for safety, belonging, and connection to Table and Well, it is to God's Family Table!  

What if we could create a space where safety, identity, belonging, and connection resided? What if every time you walked in the room everyone was happy to see you?  What if there was a place where your gifts and insight were welcomed or even required by community? What if there was a space where you brought what you had and took what you needed? What if in this place community equaled family? What if I told you this place existed? It is called the Table!

Join us as we continue our conversation with Jessica Mullen, listen in as she shares the exact moment in time when she realized what the God's Family should be and how we should act.  Also, hear as we discuss a situation that in normal settings could have been very offencive, but because of the safety and maturity the Table creates it was a very beautiful and healing moment for the people involved and those who witnessed it.

Join us as we continue our conversation with Jessica Mullen and unpack Household  a little more.  How the absence of the Household/Community actually could rob us of some very simple childhood maturity skills such as know what we need and asking for it.  Like at the Table, in a Household we experience the "with-ness" of other and God. 
 Listen in as discuss how the Table allows us to go to the appropriate depth of connection to be what we need to be for each other in the moment and be the seed that creates Community.

Does it really take a village to raise a child?  Does the household/family really provided the foundation needed for healthy community? Join Tennison and Ginelle as they begin their conversation with Jessica Mullen, whose passion is to see a return to healthy Households. 

Listen in as they describe what a household is according to Andy Crouch, author of 'The Life We're Looking For: Reclaiming Relationships in a Technological World', and why they are needed and the lack thereof.

"You know you are in a household.......if someone moves more quietly when you are asleep,  ...If people know things about you that you do not know yourself, and if you did know you would seek to hide, ... If you sometimes dream of running away so you wouldn't be so well known, ...If your return from a long trip sparks a spontaneous celebration.  Are you part of a Household?"

In this episode we conclude our conversation with Derek and April as the continue to explore the idea of not being OK.  Also, learn how their first time at the Table challenged their previous experiences involving "church" gatherings, but was exactly what they have been looking for.   Derek has seen and experienced the level of safety and authenticity but it was in a work setting but not ever in a Christian one.  The connection that was felt at the Table was something that they wanted and tried to foster for years.  

Derek and April will also answer the question, "The Table to me Is...?  Both answers are truly amazing and you don't want to miss it.
