Today's conversation is with Dr. Lina Abujamra, physician, podcaster, speaker, and writer, as she shares insights from her newest study, “A Table in the Wilderness.” Drawing from her rich background and experiences, Lina delves into the transformative power of grace, identity, and community in the journey from darkness to light.




Hailing from Lebanon, Lina’s journey of faith has been marked by a deep understanding of the sanctifying grace that accompanies salvation. Through her study, “A Table in the Wilderness,” Lina invites listeners to embrace a paradigm shift from performance-driven Christianity to resting in their true identity in Christ.




In her exploration of Scripture and personal anecdotes, Lina emphasizes the profound revelation that God is most evident in our moments of brokenness and vulnerability. By embracing authenticity and sharing our stories, we unlock the door to true freedom and spiritual growth.




Anchored in Philippians 1:6, Lina reminds us that our confidence is not derived from ourselves but from the unwavering faithfulness of God. Through the metaphor of tables and food, she highlights the significance of community and fellowship in our spiritual nourishment and growth.




Listeners are encouraged to step back and examine their motives, recognizing that true connection with God and others stems from a heart surrendered to His presence. Join us as we journey with Dr. Lina Abujamra through the wilderness of life, discovering the abundant grace and transformative power of dwelling at the table of the Lord.
