Description

In this episode, Whitney and Scott sit down with Katie Mitchell, the executive director of our serving partner, David’s Table. Katie shares the heart of David’s Table to connect families of those with disabilities to community and local church, and to provide respite, compassion, and hope through Jesus Christ.

Key Points

  • David’s Table is one of our serving partners and “exists to demonstrate the love of Jesus to adults with disabilities and their families by creating community, connecting to resources, and making disciples.”
  • The name “David’s Table” comes from 2 Samuel 9, where King David invites Mephibosheth, the disabled son of his friend Jonathan, to eat “regularly at David’s table, like one of the king’s own sons.”
  • The gospel empowers the local church to look for opportunities to provide possibilities for families of those with disabilities when life can feel full of impossibility.
  • Families connected to David’s Table learn to hold both joy and sorrow simultaneously—an ability that is relevant to all believers.
