Bess is a wife, mother of 5, and grandmother of 3! She currently teaches full time at Logos School and hosts the podcast, Come Over for Dinner!, on all the ways to make hospitality practical and fun. Apart from her family, Bess’s days are lively with the bustling energy of second graders whom she teaches full-time. She jestingly remarks that she “attends second grade every day”. Her teaching journey is paired with the podcast she hosts, where she and her guests delve into the practical aspects of hospitality. From sharing favorite recipes to discussing must-have kitchen items, her podcast serves as a trove of inspiration and guidance.
The practice of hospitality is not just about inviting people over but also about serving and giving to others, including family members. True hospitality involves sacrificing personal standards of perfection for the sake of fellowship and building relationships. In unexpected or less-than-ideal situations, it is important to maintain a positive attitude, understanding that sometimes these incidents can be humorous when viewed in retrospect. Having a sense of humor, especially about one’s imperfections, is valuable in building character and maintaining a joyful spirit.
