Description
Summary:Hospitality is central to ministry, but the stress churches give to welcome can sometimes dilute the call to discipleship. In this article, I explore Paul's approach to hospitality, which includes transformation alongside welcome.

In my final section, I unpack some contemporary implications of Paul's approach.
