Intentional Living

Radical Hospitality

This week we hear from two friends and roommates who have shared life together for many years, choosing intentional community as a way to live out their faith. By opening their home as an Airbnb, they’ve created space for radical hospitality—welcoming strangers and seeing God at work through simple acts of generosity. Their story is really about friendship, shared mission, and using what they have to serve others.

God, give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. 2. Let any knowledge I gain help me love You and others more, and not puff me up. 3. Help me see something new about You that I’ve never seen before. 4. Correct any lies I believe about You or anything I misunderstand. 5. Direct my steps according to Your Word. Amen.
