Can you imagine serving someone in your suffering? Jesus did, and so should we. A devotional by Vince Miller.

The Shunammite Woman's story is found in 2 Kings 4 and 8. Her story teaches us the value of hospitality. The word can make us cringe or feel guilty as we look at our messy house, busy schedules, or rambunctious children. Hospitality doesn't have to be a big, elaborate, pinterest worthy event. Listen in to learn more about what hospitality, biblical hospitality, is like, and how we are all called to be hospitable to those around us.

Showing simple kindness to others is one of the most beautiful gifts humanity has to offer.

In this episode, Erin Olson discusses how the Church family should not be dsyfunctional in caring for itself and for others. If the Church continues to look like an example of a dysfunctional family, the Church will lose its effectiveness in not only caring for those within the Church but also lose its effectiveness in reaching the unsaved. This letter describes how we are to treat each other with intention and respect.
