<![CDATA[Table Talk and Tumbleweeds]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/table-talk-and-tumbleweeds Table Talk & Tumbleweeds is a weekly conversation from Wheatland, Wyoming, focusing on the intersection of rural life and Christian faith. We believe the Gospel meets people where they are — and where we are is rural Wyoming. This show is about what life looks like in this place, what our faith offers this community, and what this community has to teach the rest of the church.

Table Talk and Tumbleweeds is hosted by Rev. Dr. Lisa Stenmark and Rev. Joshua Bruns, pastors serving in Wheatland, Wyoming, and is a ministry of Wheatland UCC and Covenant Lutheran Church. Made possible by an "In the Mud" grant from the United Church of Christ.

How do the additional struggles and pressures of the rural world influence mental health and suicide, especially among ranching and farming men? After considering some sobering statistics, Pastors Lisa and Joshua look at Matthew 11:16-19, which feels familiar and true in our context. How can the church serve these people, stuck in their boxes?
