Let's Talk: Faith in a Modern World
This is a down-to-earth conversation between two Christian men: one older, one younger. Neither of us are pastors. One’s a longtime believer and Bible study leader; the other is a new Christian learning to walk with Christ. Together, we wrestle with the daily challenges of Christian living—struggles, doubts, growth, and grace. From different seasons of life but united in faith, we’re learning what it really means to follow Jesus in a world that often feels broken and chaotic. If you're trying to live out your faith with honesty, courage, and hope—welcome. You are not alone!

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.
