Rest. It feels like a luxury most days doesn't it? Something that is fleeting and nonexistent in some of our lives. But what if rest wasn't just something we did, but a way in which we lived? I'm not talking about a laziness or disinterest in doing the things God has called us to. I'm referring to the way we see things and experience them through the lens of the presence of God.

That is exactly why I invited the Selah Ladies onto the podcast! This is the amazing group of women who said YES to a weekend away with the Lord this past spring and experienced more than they could have ever imagined! Not all of them were able to join the conversation but you will still hear testifying to what God did that weekend.

I was joined by Miranda, Leah, Danae, Rachel & Carolee!

God went above and beyond anything we could have ever asked for or imagined and we (the selah ladies and I) want YOU to experience it too. That's why we are sharing about it this week on the podcast. Because this isn't just a one time experience, this connecting of hearts and minds is the kind of business God is in! We don't want you to miss it!

Registration closes TODAY (Oct 1st, 2025 at 11:59pm)! Do Not Wait!!

There are only a few spots left, this is your chance to say yes to something exciting with God!

Key Takeaways:

• God will meet you when you say yes to Him
• We can go into an experience with an idea of what will happen but God wants to surprise us and give us more than we asked for
• Being in the presence of the Lord is what we need most
• Being surrounded by others who want more of Christ changes everything
• True Christian friendships do still exist, we have to be willing and vulnerable to experience them

Have you ever scrolled through Pinterest and thought "that table scape/ party is perfect, I can never do that!" and with that thought leaves every thought of hosting anyone ever? Because... if it isn't that pretty no one will want to come.... right?? WRONG!! That is a lie from the devil himself friend and I need you to perk up and see that!

Hosting people in our homes has become this glamorized, expensive production that it was never meant to be. It's simple but us humans tend to overcomplicate things. That is exactly why I am giddy to introduce you to Abby Kuykendall (Kirk-in-doll). Her new book is all about true hospitality and not that overwhelming stuff. She wants us to be so into the conversation that we forget all about the biscuits in the oven. Just let them burn! When you are in those conversations that make you feel seen, heard and understood... nothing else matters!

Abby Turner Kuykendall is a writer, home cook, and founder of A Table Top Affair. After years of singleness and spiritual growth, she discovered the power of the table in building God-centered community. Her first cookbook, The Living Table, reflects that journey. Abby lives in northwest Arkansas with her husband, Kyle, and their son, John Maverick.

Key Takeaways:

• It’s not about your food, your house or the perfect table scape, it’s about connection & conversation
• Hospitality is a command in scripture, no one gets a pass
• Focus on the substance behind the hosting
• There is a difference between entertaining and hospitality
• When we are intentional about making connections with others it becomes easier over time
• It doesn’t start with big groups, hosting begins with one-on-one connections and vulnerability
