Ever wondered what it means to give Jesus a seat at your table? In this episode of 'Recovery At Cokesbury', Mark Beebe dives deep into the concept of inviting Jesus into your life, especially during times of struggle and recovery. Drawing from a Christ-centred perspective, Mark uses the imagery of a meal to illustrate how close and personal your relationship with Jesus can become.

He also discusses the importance of 'lingering' in God's presence, despite the distractions and comparisons that often pull you away.
If you're struggling with feeling unworthy or disconnected, this episode offers a compassionate and hopeful message: God is always enough, and He's right there with you in the fray. So, why not take a moment to listen and see how giving Jesus that seat at your table could change everything?
