On this episode of Nuance, Case is joined by Mark Grapengater, pastor and head of The Table Project in Denver, CO. They discuss the power of food and fellowship in sharing the gospel and growing in discipleship. Mark shares his culinary journey from working in Michelin-rated restaurants to hosting pizza nights, and how these experiences have shaped his understanding of hospitality and the role it plays in his ministry in Denver. Through the conversation, Mark invites all of us to consider how to intentionally practice biblical hospitality in order to reach our neighbors with the Gospel.
