4 SET 2026 · What do you see when you look at yourself—a masterpiece or a mess still waiting to be fixed? God does not wait until His work is finished to call you valuable.
Ken and Julie explore what Scripture says about your identity, your worth, and the patient work God is doing in you. Through the picture of an unfinished painting and a field growing through different stages, they show why being unfinished does not make you a failure.
They also share the moving story of a scarred young woman who asked, “Does God love me?” Hear how the answer in 1 John transformed her understanding of who she was.
The conversation then turns outward. If we believe God sees every person as valuable, how should that change our words, our mercy, our patience, and the way we treat unfinished people?

28 AGO 2026 · God may be speaking—but how do you know it’s really Him?
Ken and Julie use an unexpected comparison from metal detecting to explore how we learn to recognize God’s voice. Every detector has a language. Some signals lead to treasure. Others lead to trash that sounds almost exactly the same. Our spiritual lives can feel just as uncertain.
Ken shares the childhood discovery that brought Singapore’s bomb squad to his neighborhood and the Guam beach search that recovered a stranger’s lost wedding ring. Then Ken and Julie turn to the healing of the man born blind in John 9. He had never seen Jesus. At first, all he knew was the sound of His voice—and he chose to follow it.
How do we tell God’s voice from our own desires, fear, skepticism, or deception? This conversation offers four practical safeguards: be willing to listen, spend time in God’s Word, expect Him to speak, and respond when He does.

00:40 Hearing God’s Voice

21 AGO 2026 · What are you really worshiping—even without realizing it?
In this episode of The Visiting Table, Ken and Julie explore Paul’s encounter with the altar to the “unknown God” in Acts 17 and what it reveals about the things people seek for meaning, peace, identity, and fulfillment.
They look at the way Paul connected with people before asking them to believe: spending time with them, learning what they valued, understanding their culture, and showing them how their deepest desires pointed toward the God who created them.
Ken and Julie also share stories from Thailand, Guam, and the United States about learning to connect faith with the real questions people are asking.Then the conversation becomes personal. Where do our time, money, conversations, and affections point? What are we depending on for identity, value, happiness, or peace? Even good things can quietly become substitutes for a real relationship with Christ.

14 AGO 2026 · Have you ever prayed with faith and still heard “no”—or nothing at all? What do you do when the answer you hoped for never comes?
In this episode of *The Visiting Table*, Ken and Julie explore answered prayer, unanswered prayer, and trusting God’s timing. Beginning with Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane, they uncover a simple four-part pattern: approach God as Father, believe He is able, make your request directly, and submit to His will.
They also share personal stories about a long-awaited answer, a remarkable birthday prayer that led a friend to baptism, and the peace God provided at exactly the right time. Discover why prayer is not a blank check, how it changes us, and why Jesus invites us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking.

00:53 An Answer That Took Years

31 LUG 2026 · A death threat in Thailand forces Ken to face what he truly believes, while Julie discovers that life without God has left her empty. Their separate turning points begin a journey that leads them to Christ—and eventually to each other.
Show Notes
Ken and Julie Norton begin The Visiting Table by sharing how they met Christ—and each other.
As a university freshman, Julie decided she no longer needed God directing her life. But after following her own path, she found herself alone in her dorm room admitting, “God, I’m empty.”
At nearly the same time, Ken was serving as a student missionary in Thailand. After men from a local village warned that someone would be killed if the group sang and preached again, Ken faced the possibility of death—and the truth that he knew about God without truly knowing Him. What happened next changed the direction of his life.
Their two stories eventually converge in friendship, Bible study, marriage and a shared desire to help others know God personally through His Word.
Scriptures:
- Psalm 16:11
- John 15:1–8
- Ephesians 3:20 ===========
