A resource on how followers of Jesus can show up at family gatherings with both courage and compassion—turning tense, politically or theologically charged moments into opportunities for deeper listening, mutual understanding, and faithful witness. Grace at the Table is a conversation that offers practical tools for de-escalating conflict, setting healthy boundaries, and staying rooted in grace, so that our holiday tables can reflect the reconciling love of Christ even when we don’t all agree.
