Join Jacki C. King for a season two recap and final challenge as we revisit the transformative moments that have shaped our understanding of leadership.

Through spiritual gifts tests, StrengthsFinder, genograms, and personality assessments, we guide you in uncovering your passions and gifts, exploring how they intersect and stand out. As we conclude this season, we present the challenge to continue growing and developing, distinguishing between charisma and character, talent and calling.

“Compassion should not be controversial.” - Bri Stensrud



Today, Bri Stensrud joins me At The Table to discuss the value of all human life and the task for churches and believers to welcome immigrants and refugees with love and grace. She takes us to the border and shares some of the accounts of the tremendous loss, fear, and struggles many refugees face as well as the unique opportunity to come alongside and guide them toward hope and compassion. This is a conversation often centered around a Parisian point, and today's episode will move you toward the heart of God and an act of compassion.



Bri Stensrud is a human dignity advocate and the Director of Women of Welcome. Her passion is to equip the Church to engage more consistently and tangibly in holistic human dignity issues. Throughout her work in the pro-life movement, Bri continually faced questions from those concerned about immigrants and refugees. Understanding that many concerns were rooted in fear and misinformation, she started a journey to re-discover God’s heart for the sojourner. She holds a Masters of Biblical & Theological Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary and lives in Colorado Springs with her husband and two kids.

Join us as we delve into an urgent and essential conversation about the imperative need to create safe spaces within our churches for men and women of all ages with special guest, Mary DeMuth.



Mary shares her deeply personal journey as an abuse survivor, shedding light on the challenges that many face when dealing with the aftermath of abuse. She brings her wealth of experience and expertise to our discussion as we confront the stark reality of how churches often fall short in responding to the needs of abuse victims.



We tackle the tough issues head-on, examining the reasons why churches sometimes respond poorly to those who have experienced abuse and exploring the profound impact this has on victims and the broader faith community. We also discuss the critical elements that must be in place for a church to truly be a sanctuary for its members, fostering trust and healing in the wake of major denominations being exposed to the sin of sexual abuse.



This episode is a heartfelt exploration of a topic that has shaken the foundations of many religious organizations and raised critical questions about accountability, transparency, and the well-being of all members. 



Mary DeMuth is literary agent, international speaker, and podcaster. She’s the novelist and nonfiction author of nearly 50 books, including “90-Day Bible Reading Challenge: Read the Whole Bible, Change Your Whole Life.” She loves to help people re-story their lives. She lives in Texas with her husband of 32 years and is the mom to three adult children.
