Right in time for the holidays, I have two of the five Gingham Apron ladies on the show sharing about their book the Gathering Table. Join us as we chat about growing strong relationships through food, faith, and hospitality.
Topics of conversation:
- Showing hospitality even when it’s difficult
- The importance of training children in hospitality
- Joyfully working together to accomplish a goal
- Simple ways to show hospitality
- How we nourish both body and soul in a weary season
- Commemorating the faithfulness of God
- Finding identity first in Christ
- How offering hospitality can be our love offering
What does hospitality look like for you in this season? We pray after tuning in you realize love should be the heartbeat of every gathering.
