Today's guest, Valerie Austin, tells the story of her time at L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. Inspired by the Schaeffers, she studied and worked at L'Abri, learning firsthand the transformative power of Edith Schaeffer's emphasis on hospitality. From serving meals to 40-50 students and families on a shoestring budget to now showing hospitality as a pastor's wife in West Chicago, this episode discusses the impact hospitality has on the people in a community. Valerie encourages us to never make assumptions about our guests sharing a hilarious story that will emphasize her point. Think through flowers, music, and clear invitations and expectations, and you'll be well-prepared to welcome guests into your home! We're so glad you're here!
