  • Small Talk: A Rebrand
    Nov 5 2024
    Today, small talk is getting a glow-up! Rather than dismissing it as a waste of time, we’ll consider how neighborly chit-chat can be a doorway to meaningful relationships and deeper conversations. We'll discuss how the challenges—social anxiety, awkward pauses, and a lack of emotional fulfillment—are real, but by viewing small talk as an essential “icebreaker” to genuine connection, we can break through these obstacles. With this small-talk rebrand, we might start seeing it as the first step in building relational bridges—and an important way to join in on what God is already doing in our neighborhood.

  • Extraordinary Hospitality for Ordinary People with Carolyn Lacey
    Oct 29 2024
    Carolyn Lacey, author of "Extraordinary Hospitality for Ordinary People: Seven Ways to Welcome Like Jesus," joins the discussion to explore the true meaning of Christian hospitality. Carolyn shares insights from her book, discussing how we often misunderstand hospitality as simply entertaining or hosting. Instead, she reveals the deeper, Christ-centered nature of hospitality—grounded in generosity, compassion, and humility, modeled after God's own welcoming heart. She challenges us to rethink what it means to practice hospitality in our everyday lives, encouraging us to extend welcome not only through grand gestures but also in small, meaningful ways that reflect God’s generous love.
