What do Martha Stewart, charcuterie boards, and missions all have in common? Hospitality. Or so we thought.

As it turns out, hospitality has less to do with those first two things and more to do with opening our hearts AND our homes to others.

In this episode, we're talking all about the mission of hospitality. We'll talk about what biblical hospitality is, some of the challenges we face when it comes to inviting people into our homes, and a few of our favorite hosting ideas.

You'll hear us talk about:
