On Daily Bread
This Fall, we’ve been reflecting on our food stories and how they impact our sense of home. We believe these conversations are critical as our country faces both a loneliness epidemic and increasing social discord. This week, Kendall Vanderslice shares some of her own food story, how it led her to create the Edible Theology Project, and why gathering at the table in this season is more important than ever. Listen in.

After you've listened to the episode, use these discussion questions to reflect further. Consider discussing them around the table with a friend or two.
Are there any particular foods associated with a religious or community gathering you’re a part of? What thoughts and feelings come to mind when you think of those foods?
What did social and family gatherings look like for you pre-2020? What do they look like today?
What are you hoping to experience through gathering with others around the table?
