This episode of The Harder Way Podcast delves into the often-overlooked biblical command of hospitality, especially in the context of the persecuted church. Hosts Scott and Mattie explore scriptural references to being hospitable, highlighting its importance as a mark of true Christianity. Through personal anecdotes and examples from persecuted believers around the world, they encourage listeners to practice hospitality as a means of sharing God’s love and community.
They share heartwarming stories from countries like Cuba and Ghana, illustrating how those with so little materially offer so much hospitality and faith. Scott and Mattie also discuss the challenges and blessings of opening one's home to others, advocating for a lifestyle of generosity and community that reflects Christ’s teachings. The episode calls for American Christians to learn from their persecuted counterparts and to prepare for a future where hospitality might be more necessary than ever, even in a society that may someday oppose public worship gatherings.
