On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I’m chatting with Mary Mohler about gratitude and hospitality. We talk about everything from where we see hospitality modeled in the Bible to how the gospel actually enables us to be grateful and hospitable no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in. As a veteran hostess, Mary shared some helpful, practical tips for opening our homes, as well as encouragement for those of us who feel a little more burdened as opposed to grateful when it comes to hosting and serving this time of year. We really hope this conversation encourages you to welcome others in as Christ has welcomed us. I think you’ll find Mary as delightful as I did. So you’ll know her a little better, she serves in ministry as the president’s wife at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.  She is also the founder and director of Seminary Wives Institute, an academic program for student wives started 20 years ago at Southern Seminary. She has been married to Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. for 35 years.   MARY’S RESOURCES Growing in Gratitude by Mary Mohler A Life That Says Welcome by Karen Ehman The Gospel Comes with a House Key by Rosaria Butterfield   SCRIPTURE REFERENCES Colossians 2:6-7 Colossians 3:1 James 1 Luke 11:28 1 Peter 4:9   MARY’S SIMPLE JOYS Playing with her grandsons Planning in her paper planner Fountain diet coke   DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How does the gospel allow you to be grateful in this season?
