Loneliness is at an all-time high—even in a world more connected than ever. In this heartfelt conversation, Ginger Harrington sits down with retreat speaker, author, and hospitality mentor Sue Donaldson to explore how simple Christian hospitality can gently heal loneliness and restore hope.
Sue shares powerful personal stories—from inviting someone to brunch as a single woman to welcoming strangers, neighbors, and unlikely friends around her own table—and reminds us that hospitality isn’t about perfection, performance, or Pinterest-worthy meals. It’s about creating space for connection and reflecting God’s welcoming heart, one imperfect invitation at a time.
Together, Ginger and Sue talk honestly about perfectionism, introverts vs. extroverts, boundaries, burnout, and why even leftovers, coffee, or toast can become holy ground when love is present.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- Why Christian hospitality and loneliness are deeply connected
- How one small invitation can open the door to meaningful connection
- Simple Christian hospitality ideas that don’t require cooking skills or a perfect home
- How to offer welcome without falling into perfectionism or exhaustion
- Encouragement for introverts—and those married to them
- Why hospitality is about the guest, not the host
- How everyday moments around the table can reflect Christ’s love
Featured Guest: Sue Donaldson
Sue Donaldson is a retreat speaker, author, podcast host, and hospitality mentor who helps women live lives of invitation.
