Hi friend!

Have you ever noticed how fear shows up in marriage? It’s not always loud or dramatic. Sometimes fear whispers. It looks like withholding how you really feel because you don’t want to be misunderstood. It appears as distance, when avoiding a hard conversation feels safer than being vulnerable. Fear builds walls—quietly, slowly, and over time.

But trust? Trust opens doors. Trust invites God to be the center. Trust turns t...

Hi friend,

Faith is more than a Sunday-morning declaration—it’s a daily walk. In this episode, we unpack what “living out your faith” really means, especially within marriage. Together, we’ll explore how to bring faith from words to action—in the way we speak, forgive, and serve each other every day.

If you’ve ever wondered what faith looks like in real life—not just in church, but in the quiet, ordinary moments of marriage—this co...

Hi friend!

Have you ever noticed how the way you see your spouse shapes the way you treat them? When you focus only on their flaws, your words can become sharp and your patience thin. But when you choose to see them through God’s eyes—through His love and grace—your heart softens, and your connection deepens. In this episode, we’re asking: Who do you say your spouse is?

Hi friend!

“Do you love me?” Jesus asked Peter this question three times by the fire—not because He doubted Peter’s heart, but because He wanted Peter to say it, to reaffirm it, to make it known. In marriage, that same question can linger unspoken: Do you love me? And, more importantly, how do I know? In this episode, we explore why reaffirming love through both words and actions matters—and how simple, intentional practices can de...

If so, you’re not alone.

Submission has picked up a lot of baggage over the years—and not all of it is biblical. In this episode, we’re unpacking some of the most common lies about submission in marriage, including the belief that it means passivity, weakness, or one-sided obedience.

It’s time to strip away the distortions, return to Scripture, and rediscover the freedom found in God’s original design.

Let’s do this.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
