In her book, Just Open the Door<\/em>, Jen Schmidt challenges readers with the idea that one invitation could change a generation. Women often wear many hats, and they tend to associate hospitality and open-door living with the overwhelming pressure to provide the perfect setting and entertainment skills. Because Jen believes that your front door has the power to change the lives of others radically, she offers a framework of how you can change your perspective and live a life of hospitality.<\/p>\n

This book invites the reader to explore how to live a life of welcome, whether that be in your home or on the road as Jesus did. Those you invite into fellowship get to experience the Gospel lived out as you put aside insecurity for the sake of connection.<\/p>\n
