In this episode, Abby Kuykendall joins us to talk about hospitality as a spiritual discipline for all Christians — not just a God-given spiritual gift for a select few. We learn how to live purposefully and be more like Jesus when it comes to loving others in the area of Biblical hospitality. We dig into what real, Christ-centered hospitality looks like, how to overcome perfectionism and comparison when opening your home, and three simple qualities you can start practicing today to create a welcoming space for genuine connection.

Today, we're exploring the profound concept of biblical hospitality and its transformative power in our lives. This isn't just about being nice to guests; it's about embodying Christ's love for the vulnerable, the hurting, and the stranger. We're reminded of the Greek words for 'guest' and 'love,' highlighting that true hospitality is a gift exchange - giving a part of ourselves to others. The message challenges us to move beyond our comfort zones and embrace the biblical mandate to 'practice hospitality' as mentioned in Romans 12. It's a call to action, urging us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a world desperately in need of kindness and generosity. As we reflect on this, let's consider: How can we open our hearts and homes to those God brings into our lives, even when it's risky or inconvenient?

Presented by Julie Busteed We've explored what it means to practice hospitality in everyday life, but how does that translate to our jobs? Today, there's an entire hospitality industry—hotels, restaurants, travel, and event services. You can even earn a degree in hospitality management! For those working in that field, hospitality is built into the job: welcoming strangers, serving with kindness, offering guidance, and meeting the practical needs of guests. But even if you don't work in that industry, the call to hospitality still applies. In the workplace, it might look like showing patience and grace to coworkers and clients, offering help when someone is overwhelmed, or simply pausing your own agenda to listen. It's that same outward focus—seeing others and responding with care. The greatest example of hospitality is Jesus himself. He consistently met people's practical needs with compassion and love. In Mark 8, he responds to a hungry crowd. “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance” (Mark 8:2-3). Jesus saw their need—and he acted. He miraculously provided food when none was available. In Mark 1, a man with leprosy begs Jesus for healing. Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. ‘I am willing,' he said. ‘Be healed!' Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed (Mark 1:41-42 NLT). Jesus saw the unseen people. He touched the untouchable, welcomed the outcasts, and made space for the overlooked—women, children, lepers, Gentiles, and sinners. Then of course when Jesus washed his disciples' feet at the last supper he beautifully demonstrated how to practice hospitality—to show God's love in practical ways and serve them—all for his glory. Hospitality isn't all about entertaining. It's about seeing others and serving them with love. Whether it's a kind word, a helping hand, or a listening ear, it's all for God's glory. I hope you're encouraged to practice hospitality wherever you are—including your workplace. Because when we serve others, we reflect the heart of Christ.

Presented by Julie Busteed Have you ever caught yourself grumbling about serving others? The Apostle Peter addresses this issue in 1 Peter 4:9-11. “Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen (1 Peter 4:9-11). Did you catch that? You and I are called to offer hospitality without grumbling! That means showing God's love by serving others with the gifts he's given us—and doing so without complaining. Peter gives examples of how to serve others using our God-given gifts. Whether it's through speaking truthfully from God's Word or helping one another with all our strength. Everything you and I have is from him, and we are called to use it for his purposes. Hospitality can take many forms: Listening with care Sending an encouraging message Reaching out to someone who's struggling Praying with or for someone Helping with a task or technology Running errands or grocery shopping Visiting someone who is homebound Peter emphasizes we're not to complain about this kind of service. Why? So that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. When we serve others with a willing heart, we reflect Christ and bring glory to God. Offering hospitality can be inconvenient, expensive, even aggravating at times. But you and I are called to pursue this with a good attitude. It pleases God and is a witness to how Christians are meant to love and care for one another.

Presented by Julie Busteed Have you ever been described as a “Martha?” When I say “Martha,” I'm referring to the account of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 which says: As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:38-42). Can you relate to Martha? I certainly can. I often find myself caught up in the preparations—focused on the details, planning, organizing—because I genuinely enjoy it. But sometimes like Martha, I get so consumed by all the things that serving becomes a burden rather than a joy. Jesus gently reminded Martha—and me—that “few things are needed and indeed only one!” I need that reminder: to keep my focus on my guests, to be present, listen, and offer encouragement. Hospitality should be outward-focused. It's not that preparation is wrong. It's good and necessary—but it shouldn't take center stage. The priority is the guest, not the checklist. It seems to me that Martha truly wanted to give her best. She opened her home and gave of herself and time, but she became frustrated when her sister Mary had a different priority. Interestingly in John's gospel we see a later moment in Mary's life. After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, she and her siblings hosted Jesus and his disciples again: Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served (John 12:2a). Martha is still serving, still practicing hospitality, but it seems to me she's not distracted. Her priorities have changed. That's my prayer for me and you. That we would continue to practice hospitality—showing God's love through our service, without letting the details overshadow the purpose.

Presented by Julie Busteed We are looking at what it means to practice hospitality as the Apostle Paul encourages us to do in Romans 12. Certainly, part of this is entertaining guests—and usually that's a planned event. But what about the unexpected guests? In Genesis we read about the patriarch Abraham and the three “visitors.” You can read the entire story in Genesis 18, but let me give you the highlights: The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant (Genesis 18:1-5). The story goes on to describe how he and Sarah quickly prepare meat and bread—the finest things they had on hand—and serve their three unexpected guests. They used what they had on hand. This is a great reminder that according to the Bible, being hospitable isn't about being perfect and having everything in place. It's more about being open and welcoming and offering to share what I have and focus on the relationship more than the presentation. Abraham saw his visitors' needs and met them. Their feet needed washing from the journey. They needed to escape the heat of the day in a shady place. He was eager to show hospitality and acted on it. My guess is they were not planning to host any visitors that day. But Abraham saw these visitors and was quick to greet them and invite them to stay and be refreshed. It may not have been convenient for him. There was a sacrifice of time and resources. Yet, he was welcoming and generous. What an example this is to you and me. Hospitality is not about having the perfectly clean house or a meal that's been planned and prepared in advance. It's opening our homes to welcome those in need. It's setting aside our agendas, seeing others, and reaching out.

Presented by Julie Busteed What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word hospitality? Do you picture having friends over for dinner or hosting overnight guests? We are looking at what it means to show hospitality from a biblical perspective. When I have guests over it usually involves a lot of planning and preparation ahead of time. I'm thinking about menus, making lists, going grocery shopping, planning activities, cleaning the house—all to make guests feel comfortable and welcome. And I enjoy doing it. But is that really what the Apostle Paul is talking about in Romans 12? Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality (Romans 12:13). What does it mean to practice hospitality? It's an unusual phrase to me; it stands out to me. The definition of practice means to put something into action—not just think about it. Hospitality comes from the Latin word “hospes” meaning host, visitor, or stranger. It focuses on the treatment of strangers and visitors, not just friends. This is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of hospitality. But I think it's what Paul means: actively seek to welcome and care for those you don't already know. The ESV translation puts it this way, seek to show hospitality. It's not just about entertaining—it's about looking for people in need and reaching out. I also like the way The Message paraphrases it: be inventive in hospitality. Be creative about showing God's love to others who are in need. There's not just one way to practice hospitality. Use the gifts God has given you to practice hospitality. Biblical hospitality goes beyond dinner parties. It's about seeing and serving others—especially those who might feel overlooked or alone. Maybe it's inviting someone who needs encouragement or having a homesick student over for a meal. The Bible doesn't say this is a requirement for only certain people with specific gifts—not just for those of us who like to entertain guests. I think all of us are called to “practice” hospitality. It's not dependent on our own feelings, living conditions, talents, or resources. It's about putting God's love into action in practical and meaningful ways.

Ps Simon Austin. This week we wrapped up our teaching focus on Biblical Hospitality by exploring how the table is a key cog in our faith and community. Jesus is the source — but it's around the table that His love begins to move through us. From Acts 2 to the Emmaus meal, we see that eating together is where community comes alive.

We live in a world often defined by borders, fear, and division, but what if we could reimagine migration not as a threat, but as a sacred journey? Today, we're diving into a conversation that challenges what we think we know about immigrants, hospitality, and what it truly means to love our neighbor. I'm sitting down with Isaac Villegas, a Mennonite pastor and author of "Migrant God," who will take us on a transformative exploration of how faith calls us to see strangers not as enemies, but as gifts from God. We'll unpack powerful stories of hope, discuss the biblical foundations of migration, and discover how resurrection life can defeat our culture of fear. From sanctuary churches protecting undocumented families to profound moments of unexpected hospitality, this conversation will challenge you to see the world - and your neighbors - through a lens of radical love. So join us as we navigate how we love our neighbors no matter who they are. Isaac is an ordained minister in the Mennonite Church USA.

Today, we delve into the rich biblical tradition of hospitality, as highlighted in Romans 12:13. We'll explore how this practice is not just about sharing our spaces but also about extending our hearts to others in a way that mirrors God's love.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Romans 12:13 (ESV): "Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality." This scripture calls us to actively engage in meeting the needs of others through generous hospitality, reflecting the heart of God.Hospitality is a vital expression of Christian love and a direct reflection of the kingdom of God. Here's how we can embody this gift in our daily lives:Understanding Biblical Hospitality:* More Than Sharing a Space: True hospitality involves more than just opening our homes—it's about opening our lives, sharing our resources, and being present for those in need.* Reflecting God's Love: By showing hospitality, we mirror God's unconditional love and acceptance, offering comfort and community to those who may feel isolated or neglected.* A Powerful Ministry: Hospitality can be a transformative ministry that reaches people's hearts deeply, often more than words ever could.Encouraging Heartfelt Hospitality:* Starting Small: I Encourage you to start with simple acts of hospitality, such as inviting someone for a meal or offering a listening ear.* Inclusive Practices: Discuss with your family ways to extend hospitality beyond your immediate circles to include strangers and those from different backgrounds.* Regular Engagement: I suggest making hospitality a regular part of your life, integrating it into daily routines and interactions.ConclusionHospitality is a profound service we offer in the name of Christ, extending His grace and love to others. As we open our hearts and homes, we create spaces where God's presence can be felt and His love known.A Question of the Day: What is one step you can take this week to practice biblical hospitality in your community?Growth Challenge: Identify one opportunity this week where you can extend hospitality in a new or deeper way. It could be at home, at work, or within your community. Commit to making that connection and see how God uses it to work within both you and those you host.Let's Pray: Lord, help us to embody the hospitality You command us to show. Teach us to open our homes and our hearts to others just as You have opened Your kingdom to us. May our actions reflect Your love and generosity to all we meet. Amen.As we seek to serve and love those around us, let's remember that every act of hospitality is a chance to show someone a glimpse of God's kingdom. Let's step out in faith, open our doors, and more importantly, our hearts. Let's get to work.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

When you think hospitality, do you think of throwing parties and having people in your house? I did too, but that isn't exactly what the bible talks about when it tells us to practice hospitality. You don't need a gift of hospitality to be hospitable. Have you ever watched someone with a gift of hospitality love on others? Maybe you've been loved on by someone with a gift of hospitality.  You can't outdo someone with a gift of hospitality, but you can learn from them. So, what's the big deal about hospitality, anyway? In this episode, Tina discusses biblical hospitality and what steps you can take to obey the command to practice hospitality.

On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent, we welcome Jason Hsieh as we explore thoughts on biblical hospitality. We dive into the biblical foundations of hospitality, discussing passages from Romans, Deuteronomy, and Hebrews that shed light on this often misunderstood practice. Jason and I discuss the common cultural misconceptions about hospitality, emphasizing that it's not just about fancy meals or social gatherings, but a profound way of showing love to strangers and those in vulnerable positions. We examine how hospitality reflects God's grace towards us and how we can embody this in our own lives. Join us as we unpack the surprising depth and counter-cultural nature of true biblical hospitality.Resources From This PodcastWhy Pursue Hospitality?– Sermon by Jason Hsieh A Portrait of Hospitality– Sermon by Jason HsiehMessage by Chris McGrady on David's hospitality to MephiboshethTopics Covered In This Week's Podcast03:03 What is hospitality?9:35 Hospitality as an implication of the gospel13:52 Biblical hospitality vs. the world's hospitality16:21 Examples of hospitality in Scripture20:51 Personal experiences of hospitality

In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie explore the power of words and how shifting language norms have played a role in deepening societal divides. They reflect on the subtle ways polarization can infiltrate our lives and how, as parents, we can equip our girls to resist these pressures through a Biblical Worldview. By teaching our daughters to recognize division as a tactic of the enemy, we can help them lean into the unifying power of the Holy Spirit.  Drawing inspiration from Romans 12:9-18, the hosts explore the idea that true Christian unity is rooted in love, humility, and hospitality. They share practical tips for fostering conversations with your daughters that invite understanding rather than division, emphasizing the value of asking questions like, “What do you think God feels about this issue?”  Rachael and Natalie also highlight the importance of demonstrating “radical hospitality,” offering a seat at the table to those with differing views while remaining grounded in Biblical Truth. The hosts discuss real-life examples, including the story of King David and Mephibosheth, as a reminder that God calls us to extend compassion and grace, even to those who might challenge us.  Finally, the episode connects these concepts to the American Heritage Girls (AHG) Program, where girls learn servant leadership through badges like the Identity Badge, All God's Children Badge, and the Social Skills & Etiquette Badge. This year's theme of VISION challenges girls to put on “Godly goggles” and view others the way God does, equipping them to bring unity and peace into their communities.  Tune in for an encouraging discussion on how Christian families can bridge today's cultural divide through Biblical hospitality, unity, and love.

Do we have eyes to see the new relationships that the Lord has for us? What does Biblical Hospitality look like in the Kingdom? Join Tad Fisher (and story by Shelly Fisher) as he continues our current sermon series while looking into Psalm 51:6 and Romans 12:9-13.

In this episode, we discuss the theology behind biblical hospitality and explore practical ways to implement it in our daily lives. True hospitality is not about having a spotless home or serving gourmet meals; it's about building relationships and making others feel welcome and loved, always pointing them to Christ. By keeping hospitality simple and focusing on people over details, we allow genuine relationships to develop. Christian hospitality is a lifestyle, not just a special occasion. It's about serving others sacrificially, even when it's inconvenient. We'll discuss the importance of hospitality in the Christian life and walk through some practical tips for involving our children. Plus, I'll share some simple ideas to keep gatherings stress-free and enjoyable. Join us as we embrace the heart of biblical hospitality together.

Last month I had the opportunity to go to the Mexico/United States border with Women of Welcome and World Relief. A group of friends and Happy Hour listeners joined me and we had the opportunity to gain proximity to those who were living the experience of immigration, as well as meet with pastors, community leaders, and border patrol officers to learn more about this issue. This was my third trip and I still walked away immensely impacted by the stories shared. In this month's bonus series you'll hear from two leaders who led the trip and a few voices from those who attended. On the final episode of this three part series, I have a conversation with the leaders of the trip, Bri Stensrud and Matthew Soerens. Bri Stensrud is an author and human dignity advocate who leads a nationwide Christian women's community called Women of Welcome. The community is dedicated to diving into the whole of scripture to understand God's heart for the immigrant and refugee in an effort to live out biblical hospitality in an authentic way.Matthew Soerens is the Vice President for Advocacy & Policy at World Relief and the National Coordinator of the Evangelical Immigration Table. He's the coauthor of several books including Welcoming the Stranger: Justice, Compassion & Truth in the Immigration Debate and Inalienable: How Marginalized Kingdom Voices Can Help Save the American Church.

KINGDOM LIVING AND LOVING IN BABYLONConsumer or Contributor? – Part 2Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith StewartAugust 27, 2023https://www.springcreekchurch.org/#re... #consumer #contributor #living #loving #babylon #paul #marshill Times have changed. In terms of America's values and beliefs, we are more like the first century than at any other time in our history. For some, this causes a constant pining for how things used to be and sometimes even a sense of hopelessness. But for others, they experience a sense of anticipation and hopefulness because they remember how the church grew exponentially under these same conditions in the first century. Which posture you assume depends largely on your ability to adapt and change to meet the needs of the present reality. This message will show you how.CONSUMER OR CONTRIBUTOR? What lies ahead for us as a church is exciting, uncharted territory. But all of it is fueled by the dream of being God's church in our city.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Read Acts 17.16-33 (about Paul's visit and message on Mars Hill). Paul's example is perfect for where we find ourselves today in engaging a culture that doesn't see truth or God as we do. What stands out to you about this passage? How does it inform how we share our faith today? What was the result of Paul's preaching (there are three different responses)? 2. Take some time to discuss bounded set versus centered set thinking. In particular, discuss how this plays a role in how we share our faith and how we see those with whom we share our faith. 3. Rob Bell said, “It is when the church gives itself away in radical acts of service and compassion, expecting nothing in return, that the way of Jesus is most vividly put on display.” What needs have you noticed in our community (church, neighborhood, or city) that are being neglected? In what ways can we better serve those needs? Since the need has gotten your attention, what might God be asking you to do to address this need? 4. Learning to listen is one of the hardest lessons many of us learn. But in these changing times, the need to really hear people out, where they're coming from, what's been their life experiences, what they believe and why, is absolutely essential in creating relationships of influence. How has listening changed the way you saw a person, situation, or challenge? 5. Creating space for people in our hearts and lives lies at the heart of Biblical Hospitality. This is especially true as it relates to those who are different from us (nationally, ethnically, linguistically, etc.). What has been your experience with people from other parts of the world? What is the general sentiment toward immigrants in America today? How do we reconcile whatever political views we may have with the clear teaching in the Old and New Testaments as to how we're to treat the stranger among us?6. Tell your own story, the story of how you came to know Christ briefly and succinctly. Now try to do the same when it comes to telling the Jesus story – who He is – why He came – and what He can do for those who trust in Him.

The majority of Americans today would say that no one in their lives really knows them well. We battle loneliness on a regular basis. Our relationships are an inch deep. So, what's at the root of this? It's our own insecurities. Our own brokenness. Because even though we all want to be known and loved, there's something inside of us that makes us hesitate. We wonder if we're actually loveable. So we keep a safe distance.  So, how did Jesus build relationships? His strategy was eating and drinking with others. Seriously, look at the Bible and all the meals Jesus had in community with others! Think of this as Biblical Hospitality. It's the process of turning strangers into friends. And guess what? As Christ followers, we are called to this – to share food, and time, and space, and conversation with others around a table.  This is so much more than socializing. God's table is a hospital. It's where he performs surgery and administers medicine. It's where isolation is healed. It's where hearts are shared. If we would unlock the power of the table, we could heal our loneliness. The Holy Spirit is calling you to live a life of radical hospitality. How will you respond? Watch this message from Pastor Justin Kendrick, and consider how you could use your table for radical hospitality.  #LiquidChurch #RadicalHospitality #PowerOfTheTable #Lonely #Relationships #BiblicalHospitality #GatherAroundATable #HealIsolation #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch
