On the Power of a Table: Tables As Altars

Send us Fan MailLast week, we began our deep dive into the power of a TABLE. Part two of this conversation today focuses on the biblical precedent of regarding our dining table as a type of altar, which means we hosts are then the designated priests meant to represent the presence of God to those who gather around our table. There's so much to study when it comes to tables! I'm loving this. BONUS: We begin with a Bible-reading tip that has helped me recognize the frequency of themes in the Bible when I read through the Bible in a year.And, I finally remembered to add in a personal update at the end! I'll try to get that in on a more regular basis. This week, I'm sharing my intention/focus/habit for 2026 and what it has to do with tables and my family. Hint: I was convicted by a Joe Rogan podcast. Pull up a chair. 🪑 SHOW NOTES"Episode 178: Dr. Matthew Sleeth" on That Sounds Fun with Annie F.
