Tired of the division and hypocrisy in the church today? Discover a new vision for a church grounded in love, unity, and prophetic imagination that welcomes everyone to the table. This book will inspire you to become a catalyst for change and build a church that lives up to its calling.

In a world of increasing polarization, the church is called to be a beacon of hope and unity. Staying at the Table challenges us to confront injustice, embrace diversity, and live out the radical love of Christ. How do we have difficult conversations? How do we dream together of a more vibrant faith, a more energized faith community, a better world? It starts with a church grounded in deep spiritual practice, Biblical engagement, and God’s love and imagination. Staying at the Table is an essential guide for anyone who longs for a church ready to leave behind the tired, hollow words that have little impact on its community and to lean into an authentic faith that truly, deeply embodies the teachings of Jesus.
