About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of hospitality in hosting and how it fosters community and connection within the church.

Understanding what hospitality means in hosting is so important. Not because we need to be women who know how to whip up a gorgeous charcuterie tray and have the right conversational layout in our living rooms, but because of the very opposite - we are commanded to be hospitable, and we should be able to do that well within our homes. One meaning, many applications. Today we're going to zoom in on the application of hospitality in hosting. 1 Peter 4:9 - Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. Romans 12:13b - Seek to show hospitality. ________________________ When this is the day you feel like you aren't rooted in your church, invite someone over to share a meal. When this is the day you feel on the outskirts of the church body, invite someone over to share a meal. When this is the day you wish you had more friends at church, invite someone over to share a meal. You get the point. Inviting someone over and sharing a meal with them, is the best way to show hospitality, and a great way to work towards knowing and being known, seeing and being seen. ________________________ Resources: Wait: Waiting on God in a World that Won't Wait by Smedly Yates What's Good?
