Show Notes
There’s nothing more ordinary than gathering around the table with friends and family. But it’s something that has been put on the back burner by many of us. Do you think family dinner times are important? Have you ever invited friends over for something as simple as a coffee and a chat? Are get-togethers something God can use as an ordinary way to reveal Himself through you to others?
Our guest today, Betsy Pendergrass, is passionate about encouraging others to gather. She tells us some very practical tips for how to invite others into our homes and lives so that we can share Jesus with them. We chat about the importance of family relationships and how the Bible needs to be central to everything we do.
Connection is important to Betsy, and she helps us think about creative but straightforward ways to share the love of Jesus with our friends and our families.
We talk about the power of books and reading and touch on how God is using Betsy’s renewed love for painting to reveal Himself to her and through her.
If you’ve been wanting to connect with friends and neighbors on a new level, and you’ve been wondering how to do that, this episode is for you. Betsy’s uncomplicated gathering ideas will give you lots to think about. You’re going to love the joy that pours out of Betsy too – don’t miss this episode!
