Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 24, 2018) – “Come To The Table Tour,” helmed by Angie Smith, Danielle Walker and Annie F. Downs alongside Compassion LIVE, will provide a night of nourishment for women of all stages. The unique line-up of longtime girlfriends will be an eight date run trekking the south throughout March and April.

"Join us for a night of laughter, digging into Scripture, and cooking around the table together," invites Smith. "We're so excited to invite you to a new kind of experience than you've had before - one where you're introduced to our personal worlds and invited to be a part of them. Have you ever doubted that you're welcome at the table? Afraid to even try? Unsure what community and faith look like? Come spend some time with us; we've saved a seat just for you."

Nationally known author and teacher Angie Smith is known for her guidance-infused titles such as Seamless, Understanding The Bible as One Complete Story, Chasing God, What Women Fear, I Will Carry You and Audrey Bunny. The mother of five girls is a long-time supporter of Compassion International.

3X New York Times Bestselling Author Danielle Walker is known for purveying conscious recipes as she navigates life with an autoimmune disease under her brand Against All Grain. Her most recent venture is the upcoming Eat What You Love cookbook which includes 125 gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo recipes centered around everyday comfort food you crave.

"I could not be more excited about joining my friends on this tour and having a chance to share my journey to finding health through food," adds Walker.

On the heels of debuting Remember God earlier this month, bestselling author and nationally recognized speaker Annie F. Downs dives into whole heartedly remembering the truths about God. This release marks her latest in a string of popular books including 100 Days to Brave, Looking for Lovely and Let’s All Be Brave.

"I'm so excited to spend a few evenings with some of my best friends sharing about what it really looks like to gather with your people," says Downs. "I cannot wait to meet new friends, share about what Jesus has done in my story and the stories of people I care about, and eat Danielle's cooking. We feel so incredibly grateful to get to spend this time together and with Compassion."

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Nov. 1. For tickets or the latest tour information, visit www.ComeToTheTableTour.com.

Audrey’s story in book form, I Will Carry You began a beautiful movement of helping families with their own dance of grief and joy. Now a nationally-recognized Bible study teacher and best-selling author of multiple adult and children’s books including Seamless: Understanding The Bible as One Complete Story, Chasing God, and What Women Fear, she is most passionate about making the Bible feel accessible and relevant to women.
