About this listen

 In this episode Chantelle Searle and Kim Muller talk about real biblical hospitality. What is it? Where do we begin? And is it for everyone? When we read the Bible, hospitality is not an optional extra—it is part of normal Christian life.

In Romans 12, we are told to practice hospitality, and in 1 Peter 4, to offer hospitality without grumbling. Hospitality flows from the gospel, because Christ first welcomed us. But hospitality must come from the heart. Otherwise, it simply becomes entertainment—an event to impress rather than an expression of love.

Hospitality can be messy and difficult at times. It might be inviting someone for a meal, hosting people for a weekend conference, or even opening your home for a season. Yet the difficulty does not remove the calling.

So today we want to explore some practical ways to begin—even when hospitality feels daunting—because hospitality does not start with a perfect home, but with an open heart.
