Episode Synopsis

This week's 52‑Week Rhythm invites us into a deeper practice of biblical hospitality—not just by opening our homes, but by opening our hearts to treat outsiders with the same warmth and affection we reserve for insiders. The Greek concept of philoxenia fuses brotherly love (philos) with embracing strangers (xenos), urging us to intentionally stretch boundaries, challenge "us vs. them" thinking, and welcome those different from us into our lives. As we pray for compassion, awareness, and openness, our acts of hospitality become tangible expressions of the gospel—proclaiming God's invitation of inclusion to all.
