Taste and See Podcast: Savoring & sharing God's goodness through home.

Jesus commands us to "love our neighbor as ourselves" but who is our neighbor? Is it the person next door, your best friend across town, or does it also include the people you wake up to each morning? Join me as Rachel and I discuss how hospitality is not just something we pull out for guests on Friday night, but should be a daily practice towards the people in our own home. We talk about things that might distract or hinder us from prioritizing this, as well as how we can choose...

Today I'm talking with Renee, a wife and mom to 5 little ones 7 and under at the time of this recording. We discuss how isolating the early years of motherhood can be, and how we can find ways to be a friend + gain a friend during those years! My goal for this conversation was not to heap heavy burdens on those of you in the thick of little people and little sleep, but to show that hospitality doesn't have to be difficult or overwhelming, it can be as simple as packing some goldfish +...

Today I'm talking with Casey, who owns and runs the beautiful Mayhurst Estate in Virginia with her husband and four kids. I loved hearing how God led them to choose a life of full-time hospitality, "for the glory of God and the good of others." Casey is a gifted hostess with a deep love for people, and I think you will love learning from her expertise about how to serve people with your life and home.

"If Jesus called himself the "bread of life," why is it that our relationship with food is so complicated? We love it. We hate it. We hate that we love it. Whether we're obsessing over what not to consume--carbs, sugar, alcohol--or what we will devour--fat free, dairy free, gluten free--food has become burdensome." (Harvest House Publisher) Join me as I talk with Tilly about her book "Broken Bread: how to stop using food and fear to fill spiritual hunger" which essentially takes a long look ...

If you haven't already listened to last week's episode I recommend going back and doing that first, but today I finish my conversation with Courtney by talking about how God has grown her family with bio kids and several different kinds of adoptions. We talk about how orphan care is an important part of showing hospitality to the vulnerable, and the many ways we can make that a priority in our lives.

Today I'm talking with Deborah, and American wife and mom who's currently living in Oxford, England, while her husband works on a PhD. We discuss some of the differences she's experienced while hosting in a new country, and what hospitality has looked like for her through a difficult pregnancy and a husband in school full time.

Today I'm talking with longtime friend, Kristen, a wife and mom from Florida. Kristen and her husband Caleb are well acquainted with seasons of grief and loss, having both lost family members to cancer, and even more recently having walked through a serious cancer diagnosis and treatment for Caleb. If hospitality is a love for people, and it is, then it is so much more than just having someone over for the occasional dinner. We talk about how we can love and carry people walking throug...

In today's episode I'm talking with Lacey, a wife and mom to two little boys from Louisiana. We discuss how to use hospitality for discipleship, in settings like playdates or building relationships with college age kids, and how we can bring our own kids along in that ministry.

Today I'm talking with Abbie, an editorial and lifestyle photographer from Australia. We discuss what hospitality looks like for her as a single adult, as well as the importance of hosting people outside your peer group or the same life stage as you. I think it will be particularly encouraging to those with established nuclear families as we work to expand our hospitality to include everyone! Find us on Instagram!
