Send us a text

Welcome to the first episode of The Table series on Sunday Ripple! In this heartfelt conversation, host Rob Anderson is joined by Pastor Matt McCarter to explore the radically inclusive hospitality of Jesus—and what it looks like to live that out today.

From childhood memories around kitchen tables to unexpected meals with strangers, Rob and Matt share honest stories that highlight how the table can become a sacred space for connection, healing, and belonging. Together, they challenge us to look at who’s missing from our lives and how extending a simple invitation can reflect the heart of God.

Whether you’re a Christian hoping to live more intentionally, a ministry leader building community, or someone craving deeper relationships, this episode lays a rich foundation for reclaiming the table as a place where the kingdom of God breaks in.

In this episode:
– The difference between hospitality and entertaining
– Stories of meals that became ministry moments
– How to welcome outsiders without needing perfect conditions
– The uncomfortable truth about who we often exclude
– A simple challenge that could change someone’s life (including yours)

➡️ Pull up a chair and listen now—because small ripples of hospitality can make a big impact.
