Back to Episodes#423 - Kyle Thompson // Some Have Entertained Angels Unaware
Description
We take a hard look at hospitality through Eumaeus in the Odyssey and the Bible’s commands to welcome strangers with real sacrifice. We challenge ourselves to stop waiting for comfort and start giving from trust, because you never know who is standing in front of you.
• Odysseus returning to Ithaca disguised as a beggar
• Eumaeus offering costly hospitality from limited resources
• the Cyclops rejecting the same moral obligation because he feels strong enough
• Hebrews 13 connecting hospitality to “entertaining angels unawares”
• Genesis 18 and Genesis 19 as a loud contrast between welcome and destruction
• Leviticus 19 calling us to love the stranger as ourselves
• why we delay generosity until we feel safe and how that thins our faith
• a weekly assignment to serve someone with no social capital
