Pastor Felicia ,

I NEEDED this word!

The conversation with Dr. Peacock was fantastic. Thank you ladies for asking great questions to draw out the nuggets and jewels of truth offered by Dr. Peacock. As a Spiritual Director in training knowing her definitions and about her new book came right on time.

A balm in a weary land

The women of Truth’s Table have bolstered my faith in more ways than I’m sure I even recognize. I’ve been listening since 2017 and I continue to be edified, challenged, and encouraged. I am so thankful for what I have learned from the hosts as well as the guests they bring on. This podcast is a balm in a weary land.

Expands my thinking

These ladies expand my thinking and challenge engrained thought patterns. I’m grateful for the way they challenge me to think more biblically and more deeply.
