The Heart of Hospitality: Opening Doors for the Gospel
Walk into any Chick-fil-A, and you'll notice something different. Sure, the food is good , but it’s the culture that stands out. Every interaction, from the warm greeting to the familiar "My pleasure," reflects intentional hospitality. It’s not just customer service — it’s a commitment to making people feel valued. The same can be said for world-class hotels, where the details matter. Clean rooms, thoughtful amenities, and friendly staff all work together to create an environment where guests feel cared for and at ease.
The Power of Anticipation: Transform Your Everyday Life
My son, Summit, is the king of anticipation. At five years old, he’s always got something he’s looking forward to. In the 15 days leading up to his birthday, he asked every single morning, “Is today my birthday?” And now, his excitement has shifted to the 100-day party at school — something he’s been talking about for what seems to be a hundred days... Watching him has made me realize: anticipation is one of the keys to a fuller life. It brings a sense of adventure to everyday life.
The Power of Praying Scripture
God grabbed ahold of my heart when I was in college. I remember being on what felt to be a continuous spiritual high…until I wasn’t. After an initial jolt of holy adrenaline, I found prayer life to be dry and distracted. My prayers lasted about 30 seconds before I ran out of words. I didn’t know what to say or how to keep going.
One of the greatest ways to jumpstart your prayer life is to pray Scripture. It brings power, truth, and encouragement to your prayer time.

Henri Nouwen’s In the Name of Jesus is a deeply profound reflection on Christian leadership, written with a disarming vulnerability and clarity.
