Journey of Ruth Discipleship Podcast

What is the difference between hospitality and entertaining? Sue Donaldson, author, speaker, and creator of welcomeheart.com, and I talk about this question and several others concerting hospitality. Most of us find ourselves hosting guests in our home over the holiday season and are therefore given the opportunity to "Practice" the act of hospitality. Sue and I discuss our successes and our failures in the area of hospitality and get down to the real reason why showing hospitality is not just a command, but a response to who God is. This episode is packed with helpful tips, funny stories, hospitality mishaps submitted by YOU the listeners, and so much more! We really cover the gamut in this episode.

Rob James is a pastor, writer, and radio presenter from Pembroke, Wales. In addition to his weekly thoughts on local radio and his occasional services on BBC Radio, Rob serves as an itinerate pastor and as the church and media consultant for the Evangelical Alliance in Wales where he helps churches understand what it means to minister to their communities in the 21st century. Rob and I discuss the religious climate through out Wales and how this is reflected in the American culture. We talk about the missional mindset that churches should have and the need for them to step out of their buildings to reach their community whether that is through technology, Messy Church, or serving those in need. Finally, we talk about what it looks like when we say yes to what God asks of us even when his request seems too big for us to handle. Rob graces us with amazing stories of other faithful men and women he has met along the way and how they have impacted not just him, but also their community.

After the year that 2020 was and with the stress that this week brings with the inauguration, the message of today's episode could not be more timely.

Sandy Forbes and I have a great conversation about how we can honor the struggle in our lives. How can we change the way we think about our circumstances, experiences, and hardships? Sandy is a business owner, speaker, and mother. After a life full of working through hardship and being derailed and surprised by life, Sandy shares a lot of wisdom with us and leaves us with some practical application that can help us change our mindset when life gets hard and sometimes dark.

You may not be sitting in the belly of the whale, but it might feel like it. We have all found ourselves in situations that seem dark and hopeless. My guest, Pat Hail, Jr. and I are talking about those dark moments paralleled with the story of Jonah. Yep, that story about a man who gets eaten by a fish and vomited back out. However, there is a lesson to be learned about the presence of God during times of struggle or during your own big fish moments. We chat about God’s faithfulness during hard times, how he is already preparing the way for us in those struggles, and how we can find joy and gratitude in our own hearts.
