In this conversation, Kristin talks with Pastor Ian Simkins, author of Every Table Is an Altar , about why gathering around the table may be one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to rebuild connection, strengthen families, and live out our faith. Ian shares how Jesus used ordinary meals to welcome people, restore dignity, and create a sense of belonging. You will hear why presence matters more than a perfect home or elaborate meal, how phones and constant distraction are weakening our relationships, and why repeated time together is what turns acquaintances into close friends. Kristin and Ian also discuss the emotional and relational benefits of family meals, simple ways to protect undistracted time, and how to practice Christian hospitality without adding more pressure to your life. You do not need a beautiful dining room, an impressive menu, or a perfectly planned gathering. You simply need a willingness to make room, pull up another chair, and welcome someone in. If you have been craving deeper friendships, a stronger family connection, or a more tangible way to share God’s love, this episode will help you see your table and your everyday life differently.
