You Are Not Alone: How the Holy Spirit Guides Us – John 16In Episode 154 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue their journey through the Gospel of John with John 16, where Jesus prepares His disciples for what life will look like after He leaves—and gives them an incredible promise: the Holy Spirit is coming.Jesus tells His disciples that the Spirit of Truth will guide them, teach them, reveal truth, and point them back to Him. What feels like Jesus leaving is actually the beginning of something new: God's presence dwelling within His people.Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it practically means to be led by the Holy Spirit. How do we recognize His guidance? How do we distinguish His voice from our own thoughts, fears, and desires? And how can we trust His leading when we don't know what's coming next?John 16 also reminds us that following Jesus doesn't mean avoiding difficulty. Jesus tells His disciples plainly that trouble will come—but then gives them a promise we still desperately need today: “Take heart! I have overcome the world.”If you're facing a decision, walking through uncertainty, or simply longing to recognize God's voice more clearly, pull up a chair. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. The Holy Spirit is still guiding.Reflection Question: Where am I trying to figure everything out on my own instead of slowing down and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide me?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Joy in the Resistance: Loving Jesus When the World Pushes Back – John 15:13–27In Episode 153 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 15:13–27, where Jesus moves from one of His greatest statements about love—“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends”—into a difficult truth about what it means to follow Him: not everyone will understand or accept you.Jesus calls His disciples friends, commands them to love one another, and reminds them that they have been chosen to bear lasting fruit. But He also prepares them for resistance, rejection, and persecution.So how do we hold onto joy, love, and faith when following Jesus becomes difficult?Together, Jamie and Jane explore what it means to love sacrificially without needing the approval of the world, how to remain rooted in Christ when your faith is challenged, and the role of the Holy Spirit—the Advocate—who empowers us to testify about Jesus.Following Christ doesn't guarantee an easy road. But Jesus never asks us to walk it alone.This conversation is an invitation to stay rooted in love, remain faithful under pressure, and choose joy even when following Jesus comes with a cost.Reflection Question: Can I remain joyful, loving, and faithful to Jesus even when following Him costs me the approval of others?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 21st of September, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We go to the Gospel of Matthew 6:6: “But you, when you pray, go into your room (or your closet), and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” “Faith's stronghold is the closet”, one man of God said, “however, if the closet door hinges are rusty and the room is deserted, the heart of that room is soon taken over by the devil himself.” It's a funny thing, if I am with a group of men and I don't know them too well and they have come to meet me, often I will say to the man, could you please open in a word of prayer for us, and he starts to pray. I can tell you within a minute if that man spends time in his closet or not, just by the way he speaks to Jesus. We need to spend time in the closet.A story which I will never forget was told about the great missionary, James Hudson Taylor. He took the Gospel to China. He was responsible for sending no less than a thousand families, by faith, with no support, to China to preach the Gospel. He came back to England once, probably to find more missionaries. He was in a small prayer room with quite a few other people praying, and a journalist from America was sent over to interview this great man of God. Well, the journalist said when he walked into the room, people were praying and they were happy, but there was one man sitting in the corner of the room with a big overcoat on, and he hardly said a word, and this journalist was saying to himself, “How am I going to make a story of this interview, because this man has basically said nothing? He just sits there quietly on his own.” But when they started to pray and it was his turn to pray, the journalist said it was like Heaven came down into that room, as this man started to speak with his God personally, and it was incredible. Not only did he have a story but he had a scoop because he met a man who spoke and knew God, and the hinges on his door were well-oiled.Today, make a point of spending time in the quiet time room before you go out to face the world. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful dayGoodbye.

Stay Connected: The Vine, the Branches & the Purpose of Pruning – John 15:1–12In Episode 151 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into one of Jesus' most powerful pictures of our relationship with Him: “I am the vine; you are the branches.”In John 15:1–12, Jesus teaches that a fruitful life doesn't come from striving harder—it comes from abiding deeper. But He also introduces something most of us would rather avoid: pruning.Together, Jamie and Jane explore why God prunes even the branches that are already producing fruit, how seasons of cutting back can actually prepare us for greater growth, and what it practically looks like to remain connected to Jesus when life feels uncomfortable or uncertain.What if the thing God is removing isn't punishment? What if it's preparation?Jesus' invitation is simple: Remain in Me. Because apart from Him we can do nothing, but connected to the Vine, our lives can produce the kind of lasting fruit God created us to bear.And at the center of it all is love—remaining in His love and learning to love others as He has loved us.Reflection Question: What if the thing I've been asking God to restore is actually something He's pruning so I can grow?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Peace the World Can't Give: The Promise of the Holy Spirit – John 14:15–31 In Episode 150 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane finish John 14 with one of Jesus' greatest promises: we will never have to walk alone. As Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure, He promises the coming of the Holy Spirit—the Advocate, Helper, and Teacher who will remain with them and remind them of everything Jesus has taught. Then, in the middle of uncertainty about what comes next, Jesus gives them something the world cannot manufacture: His peace. Together, Jamie and Jane explore what it means to recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives, how love for Jesus shapes our obedience, and the difference between temporary peace based on circumstances and the lasting peace that comes from Christ. Jesus never promised His followers a life without trouble, questions, or uncertainty. He promised something better: His presence in the middle of it. If your heart has been anxious, overwhelmed, or searching for peace, pull up a chair. John 14 reminds us that we have a Helper, we have His presence, and we have a peace the world cannot give. Reflection Question: Am I looking to my circumstances to give me peace—or am I learning to receive the peace Jesus has already given me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Ask, Believe, Dream Bigger: The Greater Things Jesus Promised – John 14:12–14 In Episode 149 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane slow down and dive into just three powerful verses—John 14:12–14—where Jesus makes an astonishing promise about faith, prayer, and the “greater works” His followers will do. What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”? And what do we do with His invitation to “ask me for anything in my name”? Together, Jamie and Jane explore the difference between dreaming with God and simply asking Him to bless our plans. They talk about bold prayers, surrendered dreams, expectations, and what it means to believe that God can accomplish more through our lives than we could ever manufacture on our own. Maybe we've been praying too safely. Maybe we've allowed disappointment to shrink what we're willing to ask God for. John 14 invites us to believe again, ask boldly, dream with God—and remember that ultimately, it is all for the glory of the Father. Reflection Question: Have I allowed fear, disappointment, or past unanswered prayers to make my prayers smaller—and what might God be inviting me to ask Him for again? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
