Ep 56 - The Invitation (“Table Of The Lord” by Hope Darst)

What if healing doesn’t begin with strength—but with surrender?

In today’s episode, we sit with “Table Of The Lord” by Hope Darst—a worship anthem written for the weary, the suffering, the ones carrying quiet pain or praying bold prayers for someone they love.

But this isn’t just a song.

It’s an invitation.

To return. To receive. To be made whole.

Because in Scripture, the table isn’t just a symbol of provision—it’s the place where God meets us in the middle of the valley, prepares a seat for the unworthy, and washes the feet of the ones who are barely holding on.

In This Episode:

• Hear the story behind “Table of the Lord” and why it was written as a call back to communion and presence.



• Discover how the Lord’s Table in Psalm 23, Luke 14, and John 13 speaks to suffering and sacred belonging.



• Reflect on the healing, wholeness, and mercy that are found in the presence of Jesus—especially in seasons of pain.



• Rest in a Spirit-led prayer and invitation to come back to the table, just as you are.
