How often do we say “I’ll pray for you” (and mean it), but don’t always follow through? This week, Beth and Steph are talking about the real power behind intercessory prayer and how offering up our joys, sufferings, and everyday moments can truly move hearts and change lives. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about loving others through prayer and trusting that God is working, even when we can’t see it.

We live in a world that tells us to hustle harder, do more, be better. But Jesus offers a different way - not striving, but abiding.

In this week’s Weekly Visit, Beth and Jenna will unpack what it means to:

  • Live from connection, not performance

  • Choose relationship with Jesus over spiritual burnout

  • Recognize when we’ve slipped into striving and how to return to rest

  • Abide in His love in the midst of real-life responsibilities

The Bible study may be wrapped, but the journey is far from over.

Now that we’ve spent weeks abiding in His love through the Gospel of John, how do we keep going? How do we stay rooted in the Word when real life gets busy, distracting, or downright chaotic?

In this week’s Weekly Visit, Beth and Steph will dive into:

  • What it really looks like to build (and keep) a daily rhythm in Scripture

  • Practical ways to stay in the Word even whe...

In the final part of Abide in His Love, we enter the hardest (and holiest) chapters of John’s Gospel.

John 18–21 takes us through betrayal, denial, suffering, death… and then, astonishingly, restoration and resurrection. It’s the story of a Savior who steps into pain; not to avoid it, but to redeem it.

Together with Beth and Steph, we’ll uncover:

  • How Jesus meets us in our darkest moments

  • Why even failure (like Peter’s) can become a...

We’re back for the next chapter of our journey through the Gospel of John!

In Part Five of Abide in His Love, we’ll dive into John 14–17 — some of the most intimate, powerful words Jesus ever spoke. These are His final teachings to the disciples before His Passion… and they’re meant for us, too.

What does it really mean to remain in Christ?
How do we bear lasting fruit in our everyday lives?

The world feels heavy right now. There is heartache and pain and suffering, and, with that, a renewed searching. There is a people searching for answers, for clarity, for truth, for hope.

People are hungry. They're hungry for hope. They're hungry to believe. They're hungry for a life worth living for. They're hungry for a love worth dying for.

They may not know it yet, but they're hungry for Jesus.

Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were siblings, each with their own personality, their own way of loving Jesus, and likely their own tensions. And yet, Jesus called them His friends. In this final session of the series, we’ll reflect on what it means to embrace the differences among us and to stay in relationship even when things get complicated.

Friendship is beautiful—but it’s also messy. Feelings get hurt. Expectations go unmet. We misunderstand each other. But as we’ll reflect on the life of Mary Magdalene—a woman who experienced both profound mercy and fierce loyalty—we’ll consider how grace and forgiveness can be the bridge that keeps us connected even in conflict. 


This is where real sisterhood grows: not in perfection, but in love that chooses to stay.

Real friendships are rarely instant. Sometimes we assume that if it doesn’t “click” right away, it’s not meant to be—but sisterhood is often built slowly, through shared stories, laughs, and even a few awkward silences. This week, we’ll talk about letting go of the pressure for immediate depth and instead embracing the sacred rhythm of friendship that takes root over time. 

Come if you’ve been wondering how to go deeper in your rela...

    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.
