Build A Bigger Table: Creating Space to Discuss Life & Faith

by Jeremy Martin

Build a Bigger Table offers a better way to approach church strategy and meaningful discussion for the modern church that wants to have a place of influence within current culture. By creating a “bigger table”—a space where people can come together to discuss life and faith, even if they disagree—we create a place where new ideas can be born. New friendships, trips, and tips all happen when you combine tables and chairs and people and energy. The first and most difficult thing we must do is decide the shape, size, texture, and scope of our tabletop. This is where the bread and wine will sit. This is where the sound of our stories will reverberate as we share and listen. This is where our elbows will rest as we lean in to one another. And where our heads will rest as we struggle with the pain of community. We must craft this tabletop to endure!

It is such a simple concept yet one that is so profound. Usually we as people are most open siting at a table. Jeremy takes this concept and creates a movement that, dare I say it, revolutionizes worship to become conversation. The table is conduit to healing wounds, developing understanding and expressing our love for God. This is truly a book to read to go out-of-the-box in terms of church, religion, and what it means to be part of a church family today.

I love the ideas and the vision that is cast with this book.
Often times when authors point out problems with church culture they fail to follow up with any solutions. Jeremy Martin has some fantastic, practical suggestions for solutions that I feel if put to use could be incredibly helpful.

Good read.
