Friendsgiving: Welcoming People to God’s Table

Everyday Disciple Podcast

Show Notes

Thanksgiving gives us a beautiful chance to practice radical hospitality—welcoming others into our lives and treating them like family. But what if this year, you opened up your table in a way that reflects how big God's family really is?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Tina joins me for a conversation about Friendsgiving—a simple but powerful way to include others in your life, especially those who may not have a place to celebrate. We’ll talk about how to shift your mindset, get your family on board, and create space at your table for gospel relationships to grow.

You don’t need a perfect meal. You just need a seat, a little flexibility, and a willingness to love like Jesus.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

- Why expanding your definition of “family” is central to living on mission. - Who you might invite this year—and how to ask without it being awkward. - What to do when your relatives aren’t thrilled about “outsiders” joining the table. - How to express thankfulness in a way that feels genuine and Spirit-led.

Leadership within the Church is so much more than just tasks and jobs getting done. Biblical leadership does get things done and serve the Family, but effectiveness as leaders is so much more about character, their hearts, and a growing ability to speak and model the Gospel in all of life.

As Christians, we most often use the word “belief” in connection to our faith and the Bible, but we also have beliefs that shape our lives connected to pretty much every action or inaction in life. Sometimes these beliefs can limit our potential.
