5 Questions To Explore Mutuality in Hospitality

There's a high chance that you have experienced mutuality at some point in your life - whether it's sharing a great connection with someone, bonding over a particular interest like sports or hobbies, or sharing past experiences. The truth is, everyone wants mutuality - someone to look across a table from and feel connected to on purpose. In a world where loneliness runs deep, mutuality is a tangible reminder that someone else gets you and sees you.

Pursuing Biblical hospitality with and for others has the potential to bring out the very best of who you are and point others to the very best of who God is. 1 Peter 4:8-11 says, "Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another."

Hospitality is expressed in all different ways because everyone is unique and wired to show up well in countless ways! Here are 5 questions to explore with the people around you to discover more about the best of who you are as you pursue a life of genuine hospitality:

  1. How do you uniquely express hospitality, and how do you notice hospitality being expressed uniquely in the people around you?

  2. How has being hospitable to others shaped who you are?

  3. How have you experienced mutuality in hospitality?

  4. Where would you point someone in the Bible to show them an example of hospitality? Or, what Scripture reminds you of the importance of Biblical hospitality?

  5. If you could help people take a next step toward Biblical hospitality, what would be the first step you would suggest people take?


Mutuality in hospitality says: In this space that's been created, I bring the best out of you, and you bring the best out of me. It's what God wants to do in you as you show up and do your best to pursue others with hospitality.
