    Hospitality, Ministry, and How The Two Blend with Kelly Minter

    Hospitality, Ministry, and How The Two Blend with Kelly Minter

    I am so ready to host! I'm ready to get my cookbooks out and cook for a get-together! Can I get an amen? This quarantine still isn't quite over here in Califonia, but it's getting close! We are seeing some stores start to reopen and churches start gathering again. This episode with Kelly Minter is so powerful because Kelly has such a heart for not for feeding people, but for real hospitality. If you haven't already picked up a copy of Kelly's new cookbook, A Place at the Table, I would really encourage you to do so. It has quickly become one of my favorites. Not only are their amazing recipes, but it's filled with stories on hospitality! 
    Kelly is really passionate about teaching the Bible. She sings, she writes, she speaks, and she's also known for incorporating recipes into her writing. So she wrote a cookbook! A Place at the Table is all about getting people to come together. It is very hospitality minded — it's so neat!
