In the Kitchen with Gigi: Where Great Food, Faith, and Real Stories Come Together
What happens when you pull up a chair, share a meal, and make room for something deeper?
Sometimes, the most meaningful conversations don’t happen in a church pew, a conference room, or on a stage.
They happen around the table.
A plate is passed. Coffee is poured. Someone laughs. Someone opens up. And somewhere between the first bite and the last story, walls begin to come down.
That simple idea is at the heart of In the Kitchen with Gigi, a brand-new Christian television series hosted by entrepreneur, author, faith-driven speaker, and Gigi’s Cupcakes founder Gigi Butler.
Premiering September 5, 2026, on CTN, the new series brings together great food, inspiring guests, honest conversations, and faith—creating a place where viewers can pull up a virtual chair and feel right at home.
In the Kitchen with Gigi Is More Than a Cooking Show
There are plenty of shows that can teach you how to make a great meal.
In the Kitchen with Gigi wants to do something more.
The series uses food as a starting point for conversations that reach far beyond recipes. Behind every dish is a story, and behind every story is a person with experiences of faith, struggle, success, disappointment, hope, and redemption.
Gigi understands the power of gathering around a table.
As the founder of Gigi’s Cupcakes, she knows firsthand that food can bring people together. But her vision for this new Christian cooking show goes deeper than what’s on the plate.
“I believe something special happens when people sit down together at the table.”
For Gigi, the kitchen becomes a place where people can be real—where stories can be shared, questions can be explored, and faith can become part of the conversation.
Why the Table Has Such a Powerful Place in the Christian Faith
Throughout Scripture, the table represents far more than a place to eat.
Jesus regularly used meals and gatherings around the table to welcome people, build relationships, provide for others, and open hearts.
The table was a place where people from different backgrounds could come together.
It was a place of hospitality.
A place of conversation.
A place of connection.
And ultimately, a place where people encountered something greater than themselves.
In the Kitchen with Gigi draws inspiration from that biblical picture of the table—creating a modern gathering place where food and faith come together.
Great Ingredients. Great Inspirations. Real Stories.
The title says it all: great ingredients and great inspirations.
But the ingredients aren’t limited to what goes into a recipe.
They include the people who sit around the table.
They include the stories that shaped them.
They include the moments when life didn’t go according to plan—and the moments when someone chose to trust God anyway.
Gigi describes her kitchen as a place where there is room for those stories.
“We’re making great food, but we’re also making room for stories — stories about faith, struggles, victories, crossroads, and the moments when people chose to trust God.”
That perspective gives the series a distinctly personal feel. Viewers aren’t simply watching someone prepare food. They’re invited into conversations that remind us that everyone has a story—and God can meet us in every chapter of it.
A Christian Cooking Show That Feeds More Than the Body
Food satisfies a physical hunger.
But meaningful connection can satisfy something deeper.
In a world where people can be more connected digitally than ever while still feeling isolated, there is something powerful about slowing down and gathering together.
In the Kitchen with Gigi celebrates that simple act.
It’s about hospitality.
It’s about listening.
It’s about laughter and vulnerability.
And it’s about creating space for faith to enter the conversation naturally.
Whether you’re passionate about cooking, love hearing inspiring stories, or simply enjoy programs that point people toward God, this new CTN series offers something to look forward to.
