    David Nasser: Hospitality as the Church's Greatest Weapon

    Pastor Ed Young and Lisa Young sit down with David Nasser — teaching pastor, evangelist, and one of the sharpest voices on church culture — for a rich conversation about hospitality, evangelism, and the art of asking questions. David makes the case that biblical hospitality isn't a soft skill but spiritual warfare — love for the stranger, the church's greatest weapon in a hostile culture. Plus: why most people are two or three questions from a breakthrough, the difference between being interesting and interested, and how Fellowship Church built a culture of welcome from day one.

Plus: the discipline of preaching, what it means to be called, honoring his 90-year-old father, and why comparison is a game you can't win.
