Kara shares her powerful journey through depression and anxiety, detailing her experience with TMS and ketamine treatments. She reflects on the tension between trusting God and seeking medical help, ultimately finding peace in recognizing that healing can come in many forms—both spiritual and scientific—and that all healing is rooted in Christ.
Allie then shares a deeply emotional story from her recent wedding, describing how she honored her late father by dancing with her grandpa, uncles, and brother. She connects this moment of loss and gratitude to her faith, emphasizing how God’s love fills the spaces left by grief and absence. Together, the sisters discuss how Jesus “taps in” to fill the voids in our lives, turning pain into purpose.
The episode closes with a reflection on Lauren Daigle’s songs, “Thank God I Do” and “Hold On to Me,” tying the lyrics to the unshakable presence of Christ in every season of life.

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.
