Around the Table is a place to understand and appreciate others more by hearing, from real people, the real stories that have shaped us, our convictions and our decisions. I pray this stirs up a desire in others to examine and appreciate their own stories as well.
Episode 8 - ELECTION TENSION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE RELATIONAL TENSION
For too many years, election season has been a source of contention for families and other important relationships. The issues about which we are passionate have become the measuring stick for our relationships, and I am not sure when this all started but I have certainly had it in my face since 2016.
What is it about issues that we allow them to rise higher in prio...
EPISODE 7 - COURAGE FOR YOUR MOMENT OF CHOICE
Change is hard work. Familiarity has a sense of safety to it, and we don’t like to feel unsafe or ill-equipped to deal with unsafe feelings. I have been pondering what it takes to get to the point where we choose the hard work of making change happen. Why do we do what we do without giving it a second thought...until a moment when everything changes. What brings us to that pivotal momen...
Episode 6 - WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER
Have you ever wished you had something to offer the world that nobody else has offered yet? Something nobody has even thought about? Do you look at others and see how they make an impact and wish you could make one too? Desiring to make an impact, make a difference, is something that is wired into the unique creation of each human being on earth. I really believe that. And the more I discover peop...
Episode 5 - MARRIAGE ON THE MISSION FIELD
I was surprised to hear what a young woman I have known since her teen years, and is very special to me, had to say about what her biggest challenge has been so far. At 22 years old, Abigail left America to do mission work in West Africa. So “marriage” is not what was expected to be her biggest challenge. I don’t know about you, but being a single female missionary in Africa seems pretty c...
Episode 4 - THANK A TEACHER
In each of our lives I believe there is someone, somewhere, who spoke truth and life into us. For some, we might have to look deeper to remember who that was. But whether they were there for a moment, a lifetime, or some interval in between, there was most likely somebody that imparted a bit of hope into you. That spoke the truth of who you really are. That caused a dead place in you to come back to life...
Episode 3 - MOMMA IN A WAR ZONE
Can you think of a time when a motivating fear gripped you? I am not talking about a traumatic time. I am talking about a time when you knew you were being put into a place that was far out of your comfort zone, but you knew you were supposed to be there anyway.
We often put fear in the “bad” category, and many times it is. But there are times when the fear we feel is the fear of failure or fear of ...
In Episode 2, Brenda shares a surprisingly insignificant memory that impacted her life in an extremely significant way, bringing greater awareness to her identity and purpose. She then shares how you too, can go on a meaningful journey of discovering the significance of seemingly insignificant times in your life to understand more deeply and clearly who you are and why you are here. Enjoy the journey!
Brenda shares the origin story of the journey she is now on to personally and corporately inspire and challenge others to listen, learn, stretch and grow from hearing each other’s stories. This story is what stirred her to write Loud Is Not A Language. But she also shares 3 important lessons learned from that extremely stressful situation, and how those lessons benefit our personal growth as well as our relational growth.
Around the Table is a place to understand and appreciate others more by hearing from real people - me and others - the real stories that have shaped us, our convictions and our decisions. I pray this stirs up a desire in others to examine and appreciate their own stories as well.
