In this episode, we’re introducing a new series expanding hospitality beyond entertaining or having a “gift” for hosting. We talk about hospitality as creating a safe, open space where friends or strangers can experience the welcoming spirit of Christ, drawing on definitions and quotes from Adele Calhoun’s Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, including the idea of offering the welcome of Jesus to any and all. We explore how hospitality can fit different temperaments and settings—homes, coffee conversations, churches, professional contexts, and everyday life—emphasizing presence, safety, and freedom from ego or agenda. We share our own personal experiences of receiving hospitality and invite you to notice where you’ve experienced it as well.\nCLICK HERE for your free resource on hospitality.\n\n00:00 Welcome Back\n00:18 Series On Hospitality\n01:49 Redefining Hospitality\n02:47 Essence And Quote\n04:40 Temperament And Stereotypes\n06:52 Adele Calhoun Definition\n09:48 Traditional And Motives\n12:12 Teresa Personal Stories\n15:29 Lindsay Dinner Example\n19:25 Everyday Life Invitation\n20:15 Practice And Reflection\n21:21 Resources And Closing Verse\nLIFE MAPPING TOOLS\nGain clarity at life’s transitions and know yourself and God better through our visual life maps.
