In our 6th episode, hosts Christina and Denise explore what it truly means to welcome everyone to "the table" - not just the church altar, but anywhere people gather in Jesus' name. They reflect on Jesus' radical inclusivity, noting how his dinner parties brought together tax collectors, sex workers, religious leaders, and fishermen—with no spiritual bouncers checking IDs at the door.

The hosts challenge listeners to consider the audacity of humans deciding who's worthy to approach Jesus, sharing powerful insights like "It's not your body or your blood, it's not your table, it's not your church." Through personal stories and biblical reflection, they examine how subtle signals in church culture can create barriers despite claims of welcome.

CCand DeDe connect ethical evangelism to meeting people exactly where they are, trusting the Holy Spirit to handle transformation while we simply "set the table." The episode concludes with a reflection on Luke 14:13-14, where Jesus calls us to invite those who cannot repay us.
