Hospitality and Vulnerability
The book also underscores the importance of hospitality and vulnerability in forging meaningful connections. Ken and Floy Smith's sincere and open hospitality played a crucial role in Butterfield's journey. 'Ken made himself vulnerable to me in his prayer by humbling himself before this ‘God’ of his, and I took note of that.' Their willingness to be open and vulnerable created a safe space for genuine dialogue, leading to profound personal changes.
