Reading is absolutely crucial in the life of a Christian. The same is true even more so in leadership. “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” In this episode, Kurt from the University of Florida BCM shares from his experiences how the discipline of reading Christian books yields tremendous spiritual fruit. From his shared experiences, he draws out practical habits that can ensure a rhythm of reading that will help to sharpen one’s spirit, stimulate the mind, feed the soul, and deepen our walk with God.

Hospitality is often reduced to Pinterest-perfect dinner parties and clean houses, but the biblical call is much more radical. In this episode, we sit down with Rich Mendola, Global Ambassador for International Friendships, Inc. (IFI), to explore the true meaning of biblical hospitality. Rich shares from decades of experience welcoming students from the ends of the earth into his own home. We discuss why hospitality is a primary way for "outsiders" to experience the love of God, how to overcome the "busyness" barrier, and practical ways to engage the nations currently residing in our own zip codes.
