062: |The Turquoise Table | Kristin Schell - a podcast by Carrie Robaina

Kristin Schell is on a mission to love her neighbors. She put a picnic table in her front yard, painted it turquoise, and began inviting neighbors, friends, and even strangers, to hang out and do life together at The Turquoise Table. As founder of the Turquoise Table and Front Yard People movement, Kristin travels the country speaking at conferences and events with an encouraging word on how to open our lives and homes to others.

Faith Story (1:49) 

Kristin's testimony is the backdrop and preparation God used for the story of The Turquoise Table. In middle school Kristin was beat up so her mama pulled her from school and enrolled her in a parochial school where she wasn't allowed to participate in the daily church service. Other events developed during those years that led to Kristin walking away from Jesus. Spoiler alert! She found her way back to him after a friend in a foreign country invited her to church and she realized that the Lord had been there all along.

Encouragement For During The Journey (9:20) 

Kristin offers encouragement to women who are in the midst of the struggle to not fall into the trap of comparison when they hear someone else's story. There's a story that isn't mine but shows those good and Godly characters I know to be true no matter what's going on your life.

The Turquoise Table (11:00)

Kristin talks about the story behind The Turquoise Table. She had a craving and wanted to share her story and Jesus with others. She often tried inviting people to church and many times it didn't work out. The table is almost like the Lord's way of saying, "Let's start at the beginning and keep this simple."  She asked the Lord to teach her about hospitality, outreach and loving others.
