By Ryan Kelly –

Maybe it’s my Southern upbringing, but I feel that fellowshipping with friends and family over food is such a great opportunity for connection. Lunch in particular invites a welcomed midday break where two or more people can connect in a meaningful way.

I encourage everyone to seek after opportunities to catch-up with friends or family, or perhaps to get to know someone with whom you don’t yet have a relationship. I have found lunch meetings to be a great way to do this. It is a low pressure, high reward way to grow a deeper relationship with someone and also enjoy some good food in the process! Take a moment this week to find a day that is open and ask someone to lunch. You’ll be glad that you did.
