About this episode

Karen Ehman discusses the importance of hospitality and loving others through acts of kindness.

One of the most countercultural things you can do as a Christian is to invite someone over for dinner. Karen Ehman helps busy families find opportunities for hospitality in everyday life. She also talks about reaching people for Christ through other acts of kindness and service. She shares how effective it is to love those who are hard to love, even atheists, and how to be “family” to those who are lonely–widows and orphans–and to care for the sick. With personal stories, advice and wisdom, as well as biblical inspiration, Karen encourages us to step out of our comfort zone to bless others.   Get your copy of Love, Listen, Repeat for a gift of any amount.   Buy your copy of Jim Daly’s book, ReFOCUS!
