Our world is in desperate need of bridge builders, meaning people who will reach their hand out to those who feel unseen or hurting. These days, we've narrowed our view of hospitality to HGTV and Instagram, but our hearts are more lonely than ever. During the Covid-19 pandemic, author Laura Baghdassarian Murray hosted a solitude and silence retreat via Zoom. As a result of that experience, Laura began to champion spaces where people could practice welcome and hospitality, even online. Join in for a thoughtful conversation about how you can open yourself up to letting God use you as a bridge builder to bless others.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE Connect with Laura on Instagram Connect with Laura on Facebook Becoming a Person of Welcome: The Spiritual Practice of Hospitality Healed Hearts are Hospitable Hearts Worksheet Visit Laura's Website Learn More about Laura's Online Retreats Here!   ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST Laura Baghdassarian Murray (DMin, Fuller Seminary) is the director of spiritual engagement and innovation at Fuller Seminary's Center for Spiritual Formation.
