  • Small Talk: A Rebrand

    Small Talk: A Rebrand
    Nov 5 2024
    Today, small talk is getting a glow-up! Rather than dismissing it as a waste of time, we’ll consider how neighborly chit-chat can be a doorway to meaningful relationships and deeper conversations. We'll discuss how the challenges—social anxiety, awkward pauses, and a lack of emotional fulfillment—are real, but by viewing small talk as an essential “icebreaker” to genuine connection, we can break through these obstacles. With this small-talk rebrand, we might start seeing it as the first step in building relational bridges—and an important way to join in on what God is already doing in our neighborhood.

She challenges us to rethink what it means to practice hospitality in our everyday lives, encouraging us to extend welcome not only through grand gestures but also in small, meaningful ways that reflect God’s generous love.
