Rachel joined me on Sunday night to talk about all the things.  We talk about hospitality and ministry to college students, how the Holy Spirit leads our creative endeavors, running a small creative business, and the Psalms. 

Rachel is the owner of Mercy Creates, a creative business out of North Carolina.  We've been following each other's businesses for a few years now, and finally get the chance to chat.

We laugh a lot and could have talked a lot more. Enjoy and we both hope its a blessing to you.

Julie and I love hanging out together and talking about hospitality. You will definitely want to listen - and even though its a bit longer, stay through to the end.  You will not want to miss it!

We talk about hospitality, bread making, parenting, engaging our guests and our families in hospitality, date nights, Scripture, books, etc.

This week I'm joined by my friend Katie Orr who is a wife, mom to 3 kids, and a ministry leader.  She enables women to learn how to study the Bible for themselves.  She is an author of many Bible studies and an encouraging person as well.
In this episode we talk about seminary, women studying the Bible for themselves, parenting teenagers and how that doesn't have to be a scary experience, ministry relationships (especially as pastor's wives and ministry leaders), and even epic road trip planning.
Here are the show notes:

In this episode I talk about our recent vacation and give you some points for central florida fun as a family.  But more importantly I talk about my favorite book from 2020 - Gentle and Lowly.  It is one that will be reread by me several times and recommended to everyone I meet.  I give you quotes and talk about the messiness of relationships and the wonderfulness of the mercies of Jesus.

I'm joined at my table with my friend Ashton Quattlebaum and we talk about beuaty and how it points us to the God who made all beautiful things.  We talk about flowers, light, the table.  We talk about community, relationships, and tablescapes.  This is not a southern food episode, but more on the graciousness of God and the beautiful things that he gives us.

Its the end of Women's History Month.  And I start a series today on biographies of women and what we can learn from their lives.  I start with one of my favorites.  An artist and missionary to Arabic Women, Lilias Trotter.  You will find hope here for community, for pain, for genuine authenticity.

In this episode I talk about my experience with hospitality and I walk you through a brief biblical theology of hospitality.  And why I called this podcast Lavish Hospitality.  I hope you'll join me.
In this I read from Every Moment Holy, Volume 1.  A book of modern liturgies written by Douglas McKelvey
