Welcome to Episode 98 of 2414, our 11th round with the Vibrant Conversations Deck from Lutheran Hour Ministries! In this episode, Pastor Dan and Shane explore one of the most deceptively simple and deeply relevant prompts yet:

🃏 “What makes extending hospitality easier or more difficult right now?”

From apartment quirks and parenting chaos to deep dives into pride, expectations, and guest experiences, this conversation is equal parts hilarious and practical. We also share real-life hospitality hacks, from “lowering the bar” on hosting to the three guest essentials: snacks, bathrooms, and introductions. It’s like a masterclass in casual Christian hospitality—rooted in grace, humility, and joy.

And yes, there’s also some ridiculous Outburst gameplay, ranging from car parts to pizza toppings to awkward ‘blank mind’ phrases. (Spoiler: we crushed the pizza round.)

🎯 Whether you're someone who loves hosting or someone who dreads it, this episode will help you reflect, laugh, and maybe even plan your next dinner invite.

If you’re looking to enhance your own conversations or simply want to explore these engaging topics further, you can grab your own Vibrant Conversations Deck here: https://shoplhm.org/vibrant-conversat...

Don't forget to continue the conversation at home, in the car, at work, or anywhere you can find someone to talk to! Thanks for walking with us!
