Seth and Brooke Peterson share how hospitality has shaped their marriage and young family, from hosting their growth group around their two boys' bedtimes to keeping an open-door policy modeled after Seth's parents, who raised him at Faith Bible Church. They talk about redefining hospitality as something bigger than a perfect meal or a clean house — it's showing up for people in the body, even if that just means dessert, a walk in the park, or inviting someone over before you really know them. They also offer practical encouragement for those hosting on a budget or stepping outside their comfort zone for the first time. Check out Brooke's vegan cinnamon roll recipe!
