In a culture that is obsessed with perfection, it’s easy to believe that hospitality requires a spotless home, a carefully planned menu, and a seamless itinerary. But the truth is, connection has never required perfection.

Sometimes, the most meaningful moments in life happen with dishes in the sink and pillows on the floor. Deep down, most of us already know this to be true. And yet, inviting people into our space can still feel overwhelming.

That’s why, today, we’re asking the question:

What if hospitality isn’t about impressing others, but about making space for them to feel seen and loved?

My guest today is Abby Kuykendall, author of Let the Biscuits Burn. Abby has spent years exploring what it means to build God-centered community around the table. Through her own journey of singleness, growth, and opening her home in different seasons, she has discovered that hospitality is less about performance and more about presence.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The difference between entertaining and true hospitality
• Why it’s important to gather with people who are different from us
• Three simple qualities that can help you practice hospitality right where you are
• And more!

I loved this conversation with Abby! It was such a freeing reminder that we don’t have to do hospitality perfectly to do it faithfully.
