Bible Leadership Podcast
Leading FOR Jesus disconnected FROM Jesus makes no sense. Your influence was never meant to run dry—it was meant to flow from the wellspring of God’s Word, not just the latest leadership books. On the Bible Leadership Podcast, we open God's Word and connect it directly to the real challenges of leading people today. Whether you’re leading in the church, at work, or at home, you’ll discover timeless biblical wisdom, practical insights, and encouragement to lead with both strength and humility. This podcast is all about one thing: connecting your leadership to the Bible and the Bible to your leadership. Because the truth is—if your leadership isn’t grounded in God’s Word, it won’t last. But when it is, it can change lives for eternity.

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.
