The Kitchen Table episodes are my solo reflections, released every other week. I share life experiences, Jesus moments, and lessons learned—stories from my own journey that I hope will encourage and inspire you.
Why the kitchen table? For me, it’s where family gathers, hearts connect, and meaningful conversations happen. These episodes are meant to feel the same way—as if we’re sitting together over coffee or tea, sharing life’s ups and downs, and learning from God’s faithfulness in the everyday.
Think of these episodes as a little time set aside for honest conversations and encouragement, just like we’d share around my own kitchen table

Liz Cobo says that nothing has deepened her faith and changed her walk with Jesus like studying the Bible. Studying God’s Word literally changed her life. Things that were once important priorities aren’t anymore. Things that were once afterthoughts are now at the top of her list. Scripture is God’s self-revelation and is available to anyone willing to take the time and make the effort to read and study. Liz understands that now. God promises in his Word that he will give us greater understanding of His Word when we read it. Liz always believed in God, but didn’t always know Jesus and lived a lot of her life not knowing what the Bible says and doesn’t say. Maybe you’ve experienced (or are experiencing) the same thing? We know what it means to be an unbeliever or to be unchurched. But what about believers who don’t know God’s word? She describes them as soldiers who take no weapons or no armor into war.
Liz wants women to become educated believers and shares practical ways to learn. Her passion is to help them understand, study and apply the word of God in their daily lives. And to share God’s truth with grace to unbelievers and the unBibled.
We talk about all of this and more in this episode.
