September 14, 2026 Episode 18: A Seat at Our Table: Valley's Story
In this episode of The Table We Grew Up At, we sit down with Valley to hear her story.
Valley shares about her childhood and what it was like when her parents began attending a Mennonite church when she was around 10 years old. From those early experiences to the woman, she is today, Valley reflects on the ways God has worked in her life, guided her steps, and remained faithful through every season.

Her story is a beautiful reminder that our faith journeys don't always look the way we expect them to—but God is present in every step. Sometimes we can look back and see His hand in places we didn't recognize at the time.

Pull up a chair and join us at the table as Valley shares her story, her experiences, and the faithfulness of God along the way.

August 31, 2026 Episode 17: Leadership Without Relationship
What happens when leadership exists without relationship?

In this episode of The Table We Grew Up At, we talk about the often-overlooked connection between leadership and relationship. It’s easy to think of leadership as having a position, making decisions, setting standards, or telling people what to do. But what happens when the relationship with the people we’re leading is missing?

We also take a look at some of the leadership models and experiences that have shaped us, including what we’ve seen within church and community settings. When leaders know the people they serve, listen to them, and genuinely care about them, leadership looks very different than when authority exists without connection.

This conversation isn't about saying leadership doesn't matter. Leadership matters deeply. But healthy leadership isn't simply about having authority—it’s about using that influence in a way that values people.

Non-resistance is one of the most well-known Anabaptist beliefs—the commitment to not fight back and to respond to conflict with peace.

We discuss both the strengths and challenges of non-resistance, what we still value about it today, and where our perspectives have changed. Join us for an honest conversation about one of the defining beliefs of our upbringing and how it continues to shape our lives.

May 11, 2026 Episode 9: Church Standards Or Scripture?
In this episode, we’re talking about church standards vs. Scripture and the difference between man-made rules and biblical truth.

Growing up, our church experience was very rule-heavy. There were strong expectations around appearance, behavior, and what “good Christianity” looked like. Often, those standards created pressure, shame, and fear more than grace and relationship with Jesus.

We share our personal experiences of living under strict church standards, the lack of grace we felt, and how that shaped our faith. We also talk about the freedom we found in truly understanding God’s grace.
