Hospitality means “love of the stranger.” In all likelihood there are people who show up at your church gathering who feel like strangers because of social, ethnic, or cognitive differences.

In this practical episode, Vince is back on the show to teach us how to widen our hearts to the marginalized.

There is no book like the Bible. Yet admittedly, sometimes the wonder of hearing the living Word of God proclaimed… doesn’t result in anything too wonderful in our hearts. How can I as a listener help the process, so that I profit more from listening to the Bible being taught?

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” C. S. Lewis may not have said those exact words (Mike misattributes the quote to him in this episode), but they certainly express what Lewis taught. In this third episode going through The Screwtape Letters, we explore what true humility is, how one goes about getting it, and how to receive a compliment.
