The Creator in You
Dr. Christopher Cobbler
Hospitality is a vital posture when it comes to vocational formation. But when we think of the word hospitality, we often think of being the host instead of the guest. With good intentions we often invite people into our realities, extending kindness, goodwill, and pleasantry but on our terms within the lived assumptions of our view of the world. Hospitality, though, could also be understood as assuming the posture of guest. It is about creating space for others to appear on their own terms and opening our heart to what we might learn from those who see things differently. Reclaiming this view of hospitality helps us to see God as the host who is inviting us to participate in something beautiful. We don't have to show up with the answers, or correct language, we can simply show up as the guest accepting a gracious invitation.
