TableTop Stories:
"In the last two years I experienced for the first time in my entire 40 years of life meeting with someone consistently and regularly. Every two weeks we have met. What a gift! What a beautiful rhythm of being listened to, being seen, being present face-to-face, being asked questions, hard questions, being encouraged, having someone advocate for the parts of me that I could not yet see and then experience becoming them AND believing them AND knowing them deep within myself to be true! There has just been so much freedom in this process through spiritual direction. My ability to trust more, my capacity to love others, be present to and listen has enlarged, and I am in awe that I get to be loved and get to love back like this!"
Sandy - Community Advocate
“When Mary and I first heard about TableTop Ministries I was moving out and she was more than willing to let me. We had been to counseling with no positive results. We were both broken in our own ways. J.R. helped us from our first meeting. He had lessons for me. He had lessons for her and he had lessons for both of us. These lessons didn’t seem to be pulled out of some textbook, they were much more intimate than that. Life direction, Spiritual direction, it’s fair to say that if we had not been introduced to TableTop Ministries we would not have a marriage today.
Forever grateful.”
Ben & Mary - Business Owners
"Five years ago I met J.R. and my life has not been the same. J.R. has guided and walked with me through some of the most painful seasons in life. J.R. listens, is honest, blunt and a breath of fresh air. J.R. speaks from a place of wisdom and experience. His actions back up those words. J.R. has also been with me through some of the best parts of life! I am clean and sober because J.R. patiently loved me into that. I am learning to love myself because he loves me. Navigating life without J.R. seems insane. Everyone should have a spiritual director. Mine is J.R. Mahon and I’m thankful for it. “

WHY TABLETOP MINISTRIES?
The relationship built between spiritual directors and directees can be life changing, if not life saving. Throughout Scripture we are challenged to take care of each other. The book of Galatians asks us to restore those who are struggling, bearing each other's burdens so they may take pride in themselves as they take in God's incredible love.
WHO WE SERVE:
We turn no one away. Your support means we can offer spiritual direction free to those who can’t afford it. The single mom caring for her family, the recovering addict needing grace, the unemployed needing healing and career transitioning, the ex-con looking for community, the husband looking to strengthen his family, the corporate executive needing to find wholeness. The grieving, the dying and the orphaned. TableTop Ministries provides time for spiritual direction and accountability to transform lives. Donating to TableTop means people won’t worry about the burden of paying for healing.
WHAT IS SPIRITUAL DIRECTION?
The practice of spiritual direction is thousands of years old. Claimed by every major religion and wisdom tradition, the director goes by many names; guru, sage, anam ćara, murshid, guide, priest, witch doctor, chimbuki, shaman, among others. For Christians the first visible sign of spiritual directors came out of the Desert Fathers and Mothers of Egypt, Syria and Palestine in the third and fourth centuries. People sought connection with the Divine through holy men and women experienced in relationship with God, living dedicated cloistered lives. Not a lot has changed since then. We are drawn to Divine love and drawn to those who listen with discerning ears. Spiritual direction is the practice of being with people as they deepen their relationship with God. It is the oldest methodology for healing one's soul and responsible for millions of people through thousands of generations who have experienced Divine freedom and the value of true self.
TableTop Ministries values every wisdom tradition and religion as a way to freedom, salvation, enlightenment, consciousness and love.
