“From that first bite in Genesis, the great story of God is stuffed with mentions of food and feasts. Everyday edibles become both a source of sustenance and of sacred symbolism. Food often takes on a spiritual dimension, a physical representation of God’s grace and provision. The table doesn’t have to be a place of awkwardness or shame, fear or angst, but food can become a way to feed our bellies and satiate our souls. Indeed, food is an expression of God’s love made edible.”
