Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Table | Ep 05: Table Manners featuring Kuki Rokhum
Q: How does this passage apply to contemporary church and personal life?
They stress that today's churches must address hidden inequalities, practice mindful generosity, and ensure that tables—literal and metaphorical—include everyone without coercion or conditional invitations.
The Table | Ep 05: Table Manners featuring Kuki Rokhum
Q: What is Paul getting at in the lead-up to the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11?
The hosts and guest discuss how the early church misused the table through social inequality and irreverence, and how the Lord's Supper should embody equality and shared fellowship.
The Table | Ep 01: Wisdom's Table with Sami DiPasquale
Q: How do you point people forward after encountering heavy histories and trauma, and how do you call people toward a hopeful future?
The approach combines lament, patient listening, and a practical pathway through education, storytelling, and immersive border encounters that reframe narratives, add global perspectives, and invite participation in transformation.
The Table | Ep 01: Wisdom's Table with Sami DiPasquale
Q: As we close, would there be anything else that you would say to the church, particularly in the West or to someone who wants to go deeper in this with Jesus during Lent?
Sami encourages entering spaces where we are vulnerable and guests rather than hosts, to listen, learn, and build friendships across divides, with a view toward supporting community wisdom and transformation rather than imposing solutions.
