Episode notes
Hospitality Breaks Through Cultural Hostility

Formed People Make Credible Witnesses
- Emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable; inner formation produces a credible witness.
- Drew Hyun argues discipleship must slow down to address wounds so followers become 'good news people' not just spokespeople.
