Every week, we invite people into our home for food, conversation, and games. It’s basically the podcast but in real life.

My real life little sister, Angela Bowles, talks about how this works both as a biological sibling and sister in Christ.

We also discuss the first time I shared my story with Angela (on her 16th birthday?!), how we get motivated to do hard things, and PLEASE listen to the after-closing bloopers. We guffawed.

Highlights:
“I got super convicted by my own mouth on a stage. I was talking [on a platform] about how the Church is the hope of the world, and how we need to open up our doors to anyone who needs family. It was the Holy Spirit pinpricking my heart saying, ‘You got to open up your own home and invite people in.'” –Laurie Krieg

“That’s why Fram Din works: It’s because it’s not about sexual issues necessarily, it’s about being ‘with.'”
–Angela Bowles

“I’ve really loved seeing the interaction of people with our daughters. Our oldest daughter, Gwyn, is super excited: She starts praying for the family and it’s all of her cousins, all of Family Dinner, and all the people she interacts with that she cares about. It’s really cool to see that in her mind that they truly have been adopted into the family.” –Matt Krieg

Do The Next Thing:
Are you doing a Family Dinner type thing? What’s your mission? Vision? What do you do? Is it like this? Our mission of Family Dinner (in case you missed it): “To reflect Jesus by providing weekly dinner for people to be affirmed, desired, included, seen, loved, nurtured, safe, rested, purposed, and viewed as uniquely special.”
