Every Table an Altar: Rediscovering the Power of Presence with Ian Simkins

We live in a world that has never been more connected—and yet so many of us feel increasingly lonely, divided, and distracted. So what if one of the most powerful ways we could push back against all three was surprisingly simple? Pull up a chair. Be present. Share a table. In this episode of Let’s Get Real, Justin and Trisha sit down with pastor and author Ian Simkins to talk about his new book, Every Table an Altar, and why the ministry of Jesus so often happened around tables. Ian shares how studying the life of Jesus changed the way he thinks about ministry, community, hospitality, and even the purpose of the local church. Rather than viewing the table as simply a place for polite hospitality, Ian challenges us to see ordinary spaces as opportunities to bring a little bit of God's kingdom into the lives of the people right in front of us. Whether your “table” is your dining room, a coffee shop, your workplace, or even the counter of a gas station, this conversation will challenge you to look at the ordinary places of your life through a new kingdom lens.  Ian’s Website: https://iansimkins.com/ Follow Ian on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/iansimkins/ Connect with Ian on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iansimkins1/   Follow Justin and Trish: @justindavis33 | @trishdavis_
