We’ve all heard phrases like “just have more faith” or “everything happens for a reason,” but what happens when positivity in the Church crosses the line and becomes something harmful? In this episode, we take a hard look at toxic positivity within Church culture and how it’s quietly shaping the way Christians process grief, doubt, and suffering. From the pressure to “always be joyful” to the tendency to silence real struggles with spiritual clichés, we unpack why ignoring pain is not biblical and how it’s actually hindering spiritual growth. Join us as we discuss how the Gospel makes room for both lament and hope, and why authentic faith means being honest about our brokenness. Let's get into it!

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.
