Hospitality isn’t about perfection; it’s about authenticity. In this episode, discover how opening your life, not just your home, can be the very thing God uses to change someone’s eternity.

Do you ever hesitate to invite someone in because your house, or your life, doesn’t feel “ready”?

We often think hospitality means a spotless home and a perfect meal. But Romans 12:13 reminds us it’s about eager hearts, not perfect setups.

In today’s devotion, you’ll hear Rosaria Butterfield’s story, a former critic of Christianity who came to faith through the simple, steady hospitality of a pastor and his wife. Their table wasn’t flawless, but it was open. And that’s where the gospel came alive.

Main Scripture:

Romans 12:13 – “Always be eager to practice hospitality.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why authentic hospitality is more powerful than a perfect presentation
• How small, ordinary meals can open doors to eternal conversations
• One simple way you can invite others into your life this week

Today’s Challenge:

Think of one person you can invite into your life this week. It doesn’t have to be fancy, coffee, takeout, or a simple meal. Be present, be authentic, and let God do the rest.
