Friday, October 2, 2026, we were challenged to SHOW YOUR WORK. On Monday, Latisha “Tee” Bowen returned to the Queen’s Table with a reminder that spiritual maturity requires more than recognizing what needs to change.

Some things must be put away.

Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13:11, this Heart Share explores what it means to move beyond childish ways of speaking, understanding, and thinking—and intentionally release the attitudes, behaviors, and patterns that no longer reflect who we are becoming in Christ.

Because maturity isn't simply about growing older. It's about growing up in God.

And putting something away means we cannot keep reaching back for it whenever circumstances become uncomfortable.

We cannot surrender an attitude today and resurrect it tomorrow. We cannot ask God to renew our minds while continuing to defend the thinking He's calling us to leave behind.

The Put-Away requires a decision.

Through reflection on accountability, repentance, surrender, and our relationship with God, the Table considers what genuine spiritual growth looks like when it moves beyond what we know into how we live.

And as the women shared their prayer needs, the Table became a place of covering, reminding us that we are not growing through this journey alone.

The question for October is not only, “Can you show your work?”

It's also:

“What have you finally decided to put away?”
