About Guest:  

The Rev. Thaddeus Searcy is the Senior and Founding Pastor of Freedom Church Ministries in Homewood, IL.

 

Rev. Thaddeus Searcy responded to the call to ministry at a very early age. In  2001, he founded New Covenant Ministries with Rev. Claude Magee in  Charleston, IL. This church plant reached out to minority students of his alma  mater Eastern Illinois University with the gospel of Jesus Christ and provided  hope to the under-served of that community. In 2005, Rev. Searcy joined All  Nations Community Church in Homewood, IL as the Lead Pastor for Young  Adults. He pioneered the “Upper Room Ministries'' and “Connect”, which served  as a Christian networking tool that reached over 300 young adults on a weekly  basis. In 2007, Rev. Searcy became the youngest person ever called to the senior  pastorate of Cross and Crown Community Church – a multi-ethnic community  church located in the heart of Albany Park on the north side of Chicago. In 2012,  he accepted the call to return home to All Nations Community Church, where he  served as the Senior Pastor for 2 years. On 1.11.2015 God called Rev. Searcy to  pioneer a church that's full of life and Freedom aptly named Freedom Church.  Freedom Church is one of the fastest growing multi-cultural churches in the  Chicagoland area to the Glory of God!

 

Rev. Searcy has a passion for seeing Christlikeness formed in those he  encounters. He has a passion for the lost, spirit formed community, and church  health. 

His dynamic teaching and preaching have opened many opportunities for  speaking engagements in local high schools, colleges, interfaith settings, and in  the local church. His theological interests include Pauline studies, Apologetics,  and Systematic Theology. Rev. Searcy is married to his high school sweetheart  Joena, and they have 4 children, Sofia, Isabella, Armani, and Xavier.

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.
