Abby Kuykendall: Cultivating Hospitality To Reclaim Connection

Описание: "What if hospitality is less about perfectly folded napkins and more about opening your heart to others? In this episode of A Woman’s Heart, Lisa welcomes author and speaker Abby Kuykendall to talk about the beauty and challenge of Biblical hospitality.
Abby unpacks the difference between entertaining and true hospitality, reminding us that hospitality is not about impressing others but about serving them. She shares insights from her upcoming book, Let the Biscuits Burn: Cultivating Real-life Hospitality in a World Craving Connection, and explains why hospitality is a spiritual discipline, not just a personality trait.
Together, Lisa and Abby explore:
• Why hospitality is an expression of the character of God
• How simple acts of obedience can open the door for deep, life-giving relationships
• The freedom of letting go of perfection so you can experience God’s Presence in the ordinary moments
• How hospitality can become one of the most powerful conduits for community and connection
📖 Quotes from this conversation:
• “Entertaining is really all about impressing others.”
• “Hospitality is when we are serving others.”
• “Hospitality is the number one conduit to forming those tight, very close relationships.”
• “If you try to put on this air of perfection, you miss God’s Presence in it all.”
