What if Jesus didn’t just carry your sin—but your stress, anxiety, and emotional triggers too? In this episode of Shifts and Giggles, Rafer Owens Jr. unpacks how emotional intelligence is not just a psychological concept—it’s a spiritual discipline. Learn how your emotions affect your relationship with God, yourself, and others, and how the Holy Spirit wants to redeem the way you feel, react, and love.

This episode dives into:

  • Why emotional intelligence is essential to sanctification
  • How to stop over-spiritualizing your emotions and start understanding them
  • How to process emotions with the Holy Spirit in real time
  • The 5 reflection questions that will help you respond like Jesus

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.
