From holiday-season chaos to surprising customer favorites, Gayle shares what worked, what didn't, and why she still handpicks every title on the shelves — plus the biggest lessons (and mistakes) from year one. Plus, Gayle shares some great book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Gayle shares what it was like to open the bookstore right before the holiday season. How the store's first year compared to their original projections and expectations. The now-dispelled fears Gayle had before opening. Why she's glad they curated every book in their inventory themselves, and why they still do all the book buying in-house. The course correction Wonderland had to make in their romance section. The biggest mistake they made before opening their doors. Which genres and titles have become customer favorites and which don't seem to sell well. How they plan and host book events — and why those events are such a key part of the store's community success. The books that taught them exactly how (and how not) to decide how many copies to order. The surprising punch poetry has packed with customers. Whether Gayle's own reading life has bounced back after the pre-opening stress and time crunch.

In a world where complexity often overshadows simplicity, we find ourselves yearning for clarity and purpose, especially within the church. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of life, longing to return to the basics? In this closing sermon of our "Church Reimagined" series, discover how the early church's dedication to simplicity can redefine your spiritual journey today.The Book of Acts reveals invaluable lessons about how the early believers, fresh from the teachings of Jesus, focused on fundamental practices like the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). These simple yet profound commitments empowered the early Christian church to grow and thrive, encouraging believers to persist in their faith with clarity and conviction.Join Pastor Nick Tallo as he explores two key takeaways: why simplicity was God's design from the start and how it creates clarity in both personal lives and church communities. He emphasizes that simplicity focuses the mission, protects from burnout, and multiplies impact—inviting you to reimagine what it means to be part of a church that's not about complexity, but about being intentional and uncluttered in our faith.Experience a message that will inspire you to focus on the core practices that deepen your relationship with Christ and others. At Two Rivers Church, our mission is to help you become a passionate follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He intended for you and encourage others to do the same.Stay connected with us by hitting that SUBSCRIBE button to keep receiving content that enriches your spiritual walk.

Today's conversation is all about breaking down the barriers to hospitality and inviting others into our imperfect homes and lives. Host Heather Creekmore welcomes hospitality expert and author Abby Kuykendall to talk honestly about why so many of us fear having people over, how our obsession with perfection holds us back, and why biblical hospitality is an act of obedience, not perfection. Abby shares personal stories, practical tips, and a refreshing perspective: God doesn’t ask for Pinterest-perfect homes or Martha Stewart-level parties—He asks for our willingness and intention. The conversation touches on the lies that keep us isolated, how hospitality and body image are linked by the pressure to be “enough,” and the surprising joy that comes from letting others see our real lives, mess and all. You’ll walk away encouraged to stretch your “hospitality muscle,” start small, and remember that true community isn’t about impressing others—it’s about loving them well. Abby also shares insights and resources from her new book, Let the Biscuits Burn, packed with ways to undo perfectionism in hospitality and embrace the blessing of real connection. Key Topics The barriers and fears around inviting others into our homes Cultural messages about self-care vs. the biblical call to hospitality The difference between entertaining and true hospitality Practical first steps to open your home when you feel intimidated Lies from the enemy that keep us from building community Why showing our real, imperfect lives builds deeper relationships Links between body image issues, isolation, and hospitality Abby Kuykendall’s new book and resources for becoming more hospitable Using tools (like ChatGPT!) to help break down conversational barriers Setting healthy boundaries in hospitality Noteworthy Quotes “God doesn’t ask for perfection. He asks for that willingness and heart to be obedient.” “When you open yourselves up...this is my authentic, vulnerable self—that opens the door for others to feel comfortable being raw and intimate themselves.” “We think we want perfection, but that actually would isolate us from people even more.” Resources Let the Biscuits Burn: Cultivating Real Life Hospitality in a World Craving Connection by Abby Kuykendall[Get it wherever books are sold!
