    ​I’ve spent many years sitting at a table where the conversation was loud, but the nourishment was non-existent. I showed up with a heart ready to be led, taught, and discipled.

    Thanksgiving. We are conditioned to picture warmth, a huge table, and the secure presence of family. But for some of us, that image is a cruel joke.
