📅 November 18, 2024
🎙️ Overview
In this raw and empowering episode, Rachael Flick shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma, uncertainty, and the challenges of motherhood—a story that she shared at a women’s event to inspire others to keep going, even in the hardest of seasons.
Growing up in a home fraught with mental illness, addiction, and trauma, Rachael took on the role of caretaker from a very young age. By the time she met her husband, Micah, and started their life together, she had already built walls around her heart, guarding herself from the very future she was being called to—motherhood.
Despite her fears and resistance, God’s calling to become a mother was undeniable. Through a life of obedience, faith, and trust in God, Rachael embraced the season of uncertainty and stepping into the unknown. Her story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability, faith, and perseverance in the face of hardship.
“I had consecrated myself to the Lord, and I said, ‘God, you sit on the throne.’”
In this episode, Rachael opens up about the difficult journey of reconciling her past traumas with her present calling and the courage to keep going, even when it feels impossible.

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.
