What do the words: France. Food. Family. Fellowship all have in common?
Kristin Schell.
Today’s podcast guest shares a great story of how a potential failure led to her current ministry. Throughout the episode we weave those four words together, presenting a few ideas for facilitating hospitality and building community.
Right across from our house.
On this episode I share more amazing details about my story with the Turquoise Table and getting to know our neighbor Jeff (and his dog Bella). How he sold us a table, carted it across the street and even loaned us his paint gun. And shared a little of what’s been going on in his life.
Thankful for Kristin and all she is doing to bring people around the table.
What we chat about:
- Dallas life in 1980s
- How Kristin’s almost flunking French directed her current ministry
- The family-centric European dining culture
- How to create a slower pace and gather more around the table in the States
