In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins is joined by Terry A. Smith, pastor and author of The Hospitable Leader. During their conversation, they discuss the following questions:
“I love the connection between hospitality and leadership as long as someone doesn’t get confused that it’s about either of those things. It’s really the marriage of the two.”
“We had to really work hard to create a hospitable environment in an inhospitable place.”
“Jesus ministered in a context of hospitality personally in ways that are almost extreme.”
“We took the best practices of some of the leading churches in the country around hospitality and we integrated it into that small building.”
“I want you to think about what it would look like for you to reach inside that person’s chest and massage their heart.”
“Everybody is in the heart-warming business.”
“Everybody is in the business of taking hearts of stone and helping God turn them into hearts of flesh.”
“I think Jesus offers a beautiful example of someone who curated environments and connected it to successful leadership.”
“Hospitable leadership is a precursor to every other kind of leadership.”
“Genuine hospitality is so much more than technique.”
