Today we are featuring Geri Tanzer! Geri's story is one that offers a unique perspective about recognizing the community around you and taking steps to cultivate it. Geri was raised Catholic and shares that she did come to a true understanding of who Jesus is at a young age. She felt a hunger for God and church and attended on her own. However, in college church was not so much of a priority, but she always felt she had that personal relationship. Life went on and Geri found herself married with a son. Her son began attending a new school later in elementary school and this is where Geri was introduced to multiple women from Desert Springs. Slowly but surely the Lord began to build out this community for her. An encounter at Heathrow Airport with Erica Wiggenhorn is what really started drawing Geri into this idea of community and diving deeper into her relationship with God. For the first time in her life, she began to truly study and know the Bible. All of this led up to Geri receiving a breast cancer diagnosis at age 46. This was something that she had feared for years and for it to become a reality was heart wrenching. And yet, God was faithful. He was faithful particularly through His people, the ones He had seemed to specifically place right around Geri. What is even more amazing is that this eventually turned to a ministry opportunity for Geri herself. Suddenly she was able to be this light for Christ as she dealt with this diagnosis all while working in the corporate world. You will be encouraged as you hear about how the Lord revealed community, how He healed and how He strengthened Geri to minister to others then and even more so now. We love Geri's boldness in creating Christian community in a corporate workplace and trust that God is using her in great ways.
Geri wanted to give a special thanks to those who came around her during her cancer journey: Andy & Brienne McDonald, Barry & Carolyn Boehmer and Jonathan & Erica Wiggenhorn

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.
