In this episode of Why We Believe with host Nathan Gwilliam , professional entertainer Jason Hewlett shares how a bus full of strangers in Florianopolis , Brazil became his first audience for opening his mouth boldly. After the Spirit prompted him to sing "How Great Thou Art" in English on public transportation, that courage defined his mission and eventual career performing G-rated shows for corporate audiences worldwide including PGA pros and military troops. Jason reveals how defending the Book of Mormon at age 15 against a teacher's attacks built testimony foundations, why a BYU director disqualified his standing-ovation Michael Jackson performance, and how a misunderstood church camp lesson taught him about bearing crosses like Christ. His story demonstrates that early promises to God create guardrails preventing compromise when worldly opportunities demand we choose sides.

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.
