Table & Well Podcast

HOSTS: Tennison & Ginelle Barry

“You know you are in a household…….if someone moves more quietly when you are asleep,  …If people know things about you that you do not know yourself, and if you did know you would seek to hide, … If you sometimes dream of running away so you wouldn’t be so well known, …If your return from a long trip sparks a spontaneous celebration.  Are you part of a Household?”

Join us as we continue our conversation with Jessica Mullen and unpack Household a little more.  How the absence of the Household/Community actually could rob us of some very simple childhood maturity skills, such as knowing what we need and asking for it.  Like at the Table, in a Household, we experience the “with-ness” of others and God. Listen in as discuss how the Table allows us to go to the appropriate depth of connection to be what we need to be for each other at the moment and be the seed that creates Community.  

What if we could create a space where safety, identity, belonging, and connection resided? What if every time you walked in the room, everyone was happy to see you?  What if there was a place where your gifts and insight were welcomed or even required by community? What if there was a space where you brought what you had and took what you needed? What if, in this place, community equaled family? What if I told you this place existed? It is called the Table!
