Featured Foreword

A Word from Pastor Rachelle Carlson.

Associate Pastor of Communications · Northgate Church

"Hospitality isn't a ministry you sign up for. It's a way of reflecting the welcoming heart of Christ."

"As a direct beneficiary of Ron's passion for hospitality, I can say that he doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. The beautiful insights — and gentle challenges — in Don't Be That Church will inspire you to become the kind of Jesus-follower who welcomes the stranger and helps create a culture of biblical hospitality within your church."

"Don't Be That Church is a quick hit of inspiration and encouragement. It helps readers replace unhealthy dependencies with life-giving spiritual habits. The reflection questions and journaling space make it perfect for both personal study and small groups. Whether you read it in a weekend or slowly work through each chapter, it encourages deeper faith and practical application."

"Once again, Ronald Henderson has written a practical and inspiring resource for the church. In Don't Be That Church, he reminds us why biblical hospitality matters and shows how every church can become a place where people feel truly welcomed. His goal is simple: to help people encounter Jesus by helping them feel seen, heard, valued, loved, and safe. This is an important resource for every pastor, church leader, volunteer, and every member of the body of Christ. I highly recommend it."
