What happens when your Christian convictions collide with today's cultural realities? How do you love people while staying true to biblical principles? And what do you do when you're too exhausted from ministry to actually live out your faith?

Marc and Fuller tackle some of the hardest questions facing Christians today while driving to a wedding in Peru, Indiana. From the RTC Facebook group, listeners asked about everything from spiritual armor to same-sex weddings to passing faith down to the next generation.

You'll hear Marc explain why the "belt of truth" keeps your pants up (literally and spiritually), while Fuller admits he's still working on that whole "gospel of peace" thing. They dive deep into the messy reality of LGBTQ wedding invitations - should you go or not? Marc shares a personal story about drawing loving boundaries, while Fuller wrestles with the ministry implications of saying yes or no.

But maybe the most honest moment comes when they open up about their current faith struggles. Marc's trying to figure out how to raise kids who own their faith instead of just inheriting it. Fuller's battling the exhaustion that comes with being an elder - turns out spiritual leadership can actually make your faith harder, not easier.

No easy answers here, just two dudes being real about the complicated business of living out biblical convictions in 2025. Join the conversation and see if you relate to their struggles.

Recorded on the road - because sometimes the best conversations happen between destinations.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
