Biblical Hospitality, Part three: Plan Ahead!

Biblical Hospitality: Planning Ahead (Part 1) In this week's episode of _Coffee Chats with Diane Nix_, Diane continues our special summer series on Biblical Hospitality with guest *Dianne Dougharty*. In Part 2, _Planning Ahead_, they share practical, biblical wisdom for preparing your heart and home before guests arrive. From meal planning and food preparation to creating a welcoming atmosphere without the stress of perfection, they discuss how thoughtful planning can free you to focus on what matters most—loving and serving others well. Whether hospitality comes naturally to you or feels overwhelming, this conversation will encourage you to replace pressure with purpose, prepare with intention, and remember that biblical hospitality is about making people feel seen, welcomed, and cared for—not putting on a perfect performance. Be sure to read this week's companion article for additional encouragement and reflection.
