Shared Meals: God's Growth Strategy

What if one of the most spiritual things you can do is share a meal?

In this episode of the Gospel Gumbo Podcast, we explore the deeply biblical and profoundly human practice of eating together. From Abraham’s feast for angels to Jesus’ meals with sinners, from the Passover to the Lord’s Supper, and from the early church’s daily bread-breaking to the wedding feast of the Lamb—God has always formed His people around the table.

We unpack how table fellowship shapes us spiritually: it teaches humility, invites vulnerability, builds community, and becomes a sacred rhythm of grace. Drawing from Scripture and the insights of theologian Robert Farrar Capon, we reflect on why meals aren’t just useful—they’re delicious, intentional, and full of divine meaning.

Whether it’s a feast or a weeknight bowl of soup, the table is God’s ordinary and extraordinary tool for transformation.
