VISITORS: Hospitality. "The Tangible Kingdom." My guests. New York Slice.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!

Maybe it’s the holidays, Maybe it’s my new son-in-law. In any case, I’ve been spending a lot of time recently thinking about taking people on the outside and bringing them inside, creating blessings for host and visitor alike.

This week we will discuss Biblical hospitality and Abraham’s example; barriers we may be erecting to keep brethren at a distance; the blessings that my guests have brought to the podcast; and how getting everything you want rarely comes from taking everything you can.

 In the spirit of the week, allow me to direct you to the great podcasting work of some of my guests:
