Together, they tackle what’s broken in church culture today, why most “hospitality committees” are missing the mark, and how pastors can lead the way toward authentic, healing relationships.You’ll learn:Why hospitality is more than food—it’s about creating safe spaces for healing.How Jesus showed hospitality through tears, not just miracles.The surprising connection between hospitality and church growth (or stagnation).Three types of hospitality your church should be practicing right now.What it looks like to live out hospitality as a personal testimony.If you’ve ever wondered why your church isn’t connecting like it used to, this episode will hit home.🔗 Links + Resources:Visit Andrew’s site: saltlightandhospitality.comConnect with Andrew on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok → @saltlightandhospitalityContact Andrew for training, blog access, and moreJoin the Make More Disciples Challenge (Free Preview): MoreDisciplesChallenge.com/optinSubscribe + Share: Don’t forget to hit subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
