Ever feel that tug-of-war between wanting to open your home and also just wanting a quiet, clean space? Us too.
Summer has this way of stirring things up — kids are out of school, the backyard suddenly becomes the neighborhood hotspot, and somehow your house turns into the unofficial sleepover headquarters. So how do we prepare our homes and hearts for hospitality?
In this episode, we’re taking an honest look at the mess and the ministry of hospitality. We’re sharing five simple things that have helped us over the years — things like keeping popsicles and extra toothbrushes on hand, teaching our kids to help make the home feel welcoming, and how setting boundaries actually makes our house more of a place kids want to be.
But we’re also talking about the why behind it all — because creating a safe, fun, loving space for kids to hang out? That’s more than just being the ‘cool house’. That’s kingdom work. And bonus: you know exactly who your kids are with and what they’re doing when they’re right under your roof.
You don’t need to have it all together to be the house where kids feel welcome. This episode is full of practical ideas and gentle encouragement to help you open your home with purpose and peace.
Let’s do this together — hit play and let’s chat about what it really looks like to open your doors and your heart this summer.
