In this personal story, Dee Dee Risher weaves experiences from her life with the biblical story of the prophet Elisha and the Shunammite woman. Risher is captivated by this spiritually attuned, generous, hospitable, honest, and bold woman. The woman from Shunem extends radical hospitality to the prophet, expecting no reward. But when disaster strikes, she does not hesitate to hold Elisha accountable or talk back.

Hidden in the story, Risher believes, are the questions that lead to a more authentic life:

  • What does it mean to build a holy room in our lives?
  • How honestly do we confront our inevitable losses and griefs? As we work to transform our world, how do we grapple with failure?
  • Do we have the kind of faith that can ask bold questions in the face of death?
  • What openings does radical hospitality create in our lives?
