🎙️ Overview
In Part 2 of this candid and powerful conversation, Rachael Flick opens up about the devastating loss of her husband, Micah, and the profound grief that followed. As she navigated the aftermath of his death, Rachael turned to her faith, powerful scripture, and practical tools to help her move through the dark season of grief and uncertainty.
Rachael reflects on a moment in 2018 that left her feeling as though her hope and future died with Micah when he was tragically shot while performing a job he’d done for over ten years. Her vulnerability and honesty in sharing this deeply painful moment show the raw emotions of grief, yet also highlight the way God's grace was present, even in the hardest of times.
“And in 2018, February 5th, any given Monday, Micah was doing a job that he had been doing for ten years, and he was shot in the chest. And it really felt like my hope and my future died with him.
When the enemy comes for the restoration, that will bring you to your knees. And I really felt like the Lord had abandoned me.”
In this episode, Rachael shares how, even in her deepest moments of despair, she found the strength to keep going through scripture like Romans 8:28, which reminded her that God works all things together for good. She talks about the practical tools—such as daily affirmations and trusting God’s plan—that helped her rebuild her life and step forward into healing.

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.
