We came to the Table intending to wrap up September.

We didn’t. 😂

Instead, as Denise and Latisha “Tee” Bowen began walking back through a month of Transition, the Table became a place of reflection, testimony, and application.

We revisited what God has been teaching us: movement does not always mean progression. Sometimes obedience means moving. Sometimes it means being still. Transition is a place. Transformation must happen within it. And even the painful parts cannot simply be skipped—we have to walk through them while remaining faithful.

As the conversation moved through grief, surrender, control, and releasing what we may never receive closure for, one word emerged:

Relinquish.

To voluntarily—or reluctantly—give up control, possession, or our claim to something and place it back into the hands of God. The Table captured that moment plainly: “Relinquish. Release it God.”

Then, just as we prepared to park the conversation until Friday, Tre’ gave us the language that brought the entire morning together:

SHOW YOUR WORK.

Like math class, having the answer isn't enough. You have to show how you got there.

We can hear the Word.
Take the notes.
Know the Scriptures.
Receive the revelation.

But at some point, there has to be application.

Transition requires us to work through what God has been teaching us—not skip the process just because we already know the answer. As the Table said, “we gotta marinate on the previous lessons” and then comes “Application!”

And perhaps that is why we couldn't rush the wrap-up.

Because before we move from TRANSITION into MATURITY, God is asking us:

Did you do the work?

There are no shortcuts to maturity.

So we're parking right here.

We'll come back to the Table and finish the journey—but in the meantime:

Show. Your. Work.
