The Open Table Podcast with Laina Poe

BONUS Episode 7: Synthesis Project

This is The Open Table's first BONUS episode and I had so much fun making it for you! As I prepare to graduate college in just 10 days this episode serves as a synthesis of what I have learned in my time at OBU. It's been the best 4 years and I am so excited for all that will come next and all that the Lord will do in this next season of life. I am about to be a real-life nurse! You'll hear a lot more from me in this episode on what it looks like to live intentionally for the gospel of Christ in your profession and hear some of my most dear friends talk about the pursuit of Christ in their own careers of nursing. This episode is an invitation to stepping outside of us and into obedience. I hope you find it encouraging! Lots of love!

Episode 6: Gloria Umanah

In this episode, I got the opportunity to meet and hang with a new friend Gloria Umanah. We talked about the tables and spaces in her life, what we are both learning right now, and how discipleship and relationships are key for our development. Our conversation was so fun but, also taught and encouraged me a lot! She has insight for us and some really good wise pieces for us to dig into. My prayer is that you listen to this one and you aren't afraid to do the things we talk about. We laughed, encouraged each other, and talked about some necessary things and essential to life when we trust Jesus. I so hope you love this one! Go follow Gloria and the Ex-Nihilo Collective! @gloriaumanah @exnihilo.co
