  • Hospitality Isn’t Just for the Holidays, It’s a Ministry
    The holidays are here and many of us are probably thinking about the guests coming over, the gifts, the parties, and how we plan to practice hospitality. But, did you know that hospitality is biblical? It’s more than pretty Pinterest dining room tables. The Old and New Testament are filled with stories about hospitality and how it helped spread the Gospel. Jesus is our biggest example of what it means to be hospitable. Join me today as I go through the Hospitality acronym and discuss my earliest experiences with hospitality and talk about a special friend at the end who was a shining example of the light and love of Jesus. This episode is dedicated to Dolly, who I will greatly miss.

  • Breaking Bread Without Losing Your Head! Diving Into the Details of the Thanksgiving Dinner Table
    Hospitality is not just about a pretty table, it's about how you position your heart to serve others and to make them feel comfortable. If you are at ease your guests will be too. We always hear it's not about being perfect it's about being present and I 100% agree. The presentation doesn't matter if your guests feel uncomfortable. Often we get caught up in the presentation because we try to give our guests the best experience we can give them, but the best experience starts with a relaxed hostess. Preparation and pre-decision help you be present and not worry about those details that drive us crazy. 
    Today I will discuss how to take Thanksgiving inventory so that you do that pre-decision work and get prepared so you can be present! In this episode I'll talk about taking inventory of the following:
    Tables, chairs, and serving tables
    The number of plates (main course, dessert, and any appetizers) you need for the number of guests you are hosting.
    The number of glasses, coffee cups, or wine glasses
    Silverware
    Napkins whether cloth or paper
    Serving Dishes & Utensils
    Tablecloths
    Of course, I won't leave you high and dry without some resources to make taking inventory easier! Go to my website and get 4 downloads!

  • Faith Flicks Friday Pick! Divine Influencer

    If you are looking for a good movie with a relatable theme, then listen to my review about the heartwarming and uplifting faith-based movie, "Divine Influencer," available on Pure Flix. The film centers around Olivia, a 29-year-old social media influencer who is pretty materialistic, who suddenly and unexpectedly finds herself at a crossroads in life after a series of unfortunate events that humbles her quickly!

    Olivia's world takes a dramatic turn when she loses her job at a fashion designer's firm, and simultaneously, her philanthropic Christian parents cut off her financial lifeline, and she faces eviction from her apartment. It's a perfect storm of adversity that forces Olivia to reevaluate her life choices.

    Olivia takes a job as a Resident Assistant (RA) at a Christian rescue shelter's dormitory for women. The mission is run by a familiar face from her high school days, adding an intriguing layer to the story. As Olivia navigates the challenges of her new role, she embarks on a soul-searching journey that leads her to rediscover her faith, embrace selflessness, and find a deeper purpose in life.
