Table Talks: Recent Episodes
CEC YOUTH
Table Talks is a podcast for faith formation at home. We encourage families to listen and discuss the perspectives and questions together!
Join Maggie and Laura as they talk about how showing up and serving help us practice our promises made in our Baptismal Covenant and how serving as a family provides a space for faith in the family to grow.

In our fifth episode, we are joined by The Reverend Chip Edens, Rector at Christ Church. Maggie and Chip discuss what it means to be a disciple, or a student of your faith and how faith, ultimately, starts at home. After you've listened, we invite you to engage in the following questions together at your meal table:
What are some ways you engage at home as a student of faith?
What are some obstacles that stop you from being a disciple, whether at home, school, work, or in sports?
Who is someone in your life that you would identify as a Disciple of Christ…a lifelong student of their faith?

In this episode, Lindsay and Maggie sit down with Bishop Anne Hodges-Copple, the Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina to explore the differences between blessings and privileges and what our responsibility is to continue to learn and grow.

Join us this week as we discuss how music can be a great stepping stone and foundation for building faith. We are joined by The Reverend Joshua Case, Vicar for Formation and Worship at Christ Church Charlotte who shares some of his own experience with music and faith. After the episode, let these questions guide your family's meal time conversation:
What is one song that reminds you of church?
What kind of music do you like to hear in church?
Are there any songs on your current playlist that make you think of God or your faith?

-
What is your favorite bible story, and why do you like it so much?
-
What bible story reminds you most of your childhood and why?
-
What are some values you hold because of the words and stories you've read in the Bible?

This week, we explore Faith at Home. What does it mean to discuss faith as a family? We want you to explore these questions:
-
What is one of your earliest memories of God or Jesus?
-
What is one puzzling question you have about God?
-
Describe a person you have noticed who seems ready to do good for anyone, even strangers.
We hope your family enjoys having this thoughtful conversation. https://anchor.fm/cecyouth/message
