Welcome to today's episode, where we explore the profound theme of Patience in Suffering. In a world that often rushes us from one moment to the next, how do we find the strength to stand firm in the face of trials and tribulations? Today, we're guided by powerful stories and reflections that remind us of the importance of patience during our most challenging times.
Consider the story of someone oppressed, facing injustice and suffering, yet choosing to keep silent and not speak out in anger or frustration. Instead, they turn to a higher power, seeking understanding and guidance, wondering whether their trials have a deeper purpose. This narrative is not uncommon; many of us find ourselves in situations that test our resilience and faith. Jesus himself never promised a life devoid of persecution. Contrarily, He assured us that we would face adversity, be lied about, and falsely accused. Yet, in all this, He encouraged us to remain focused on Him, with the reassurance that He would never leave us nor forsake us.
Persecutions and trials, as unwelcome as they may be, come to test and grow us. Reflecting personally, I've found that my own challenges have cultivated strengths I never knew I possessed. This episode invites you to consider the power of remaining silent, not grumbling, and seeking divine guidance through prayer.
Fleeing at the first sign of difficulty is not always the answer. Could it be possible that you're the very solution to the problem at hand, divinely appointed for such a time as this? Remember, "He who brings you to it will get you through it."
Join us as we traverse these thought-provoking insights, finding solace in the wisdom that trials, though tough, carry with them the potential for profound personal growth and spiritual deepening. This is more than just a conversation; it's a pilgrimage through the heart of patience in suffering.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
