Chapter 4 Cultivating a Culture of Care: Unreasonable Hospitality in the College Classroom
This chapter explores how the principles of unreasonable hospitality can transform the college classroom into a community of belonging, care, and growth. Drawing from Christian higher education, servant leadership, and hospitality literature, it argues that students thrive when educators move beyond information delivery and intentionally invest in relationships. Through a culture of encouragement, empathy, accountability, and welcome, classrooms become safe spaces where emerging adults can wrestle with questions of identity, purpose, and vocation.
