Out of the Ordinary

3: The Good News About Broken Dreams


Listen Later

This is a story about the search for a barn.

Today we dig into what it looks like and feels like to watch your dream break into little bits and pieces you can't make sense of. Christie takes us from Chicago to Florida to a small town in Pennsylvania that often reeks of mushroom farms and manure where she buried all her broken bits of hope and then watched them grow. She shares the story of the time she opened her home to a small group, bought all the study books, and not one person showed up.

If you're like us then you already know that dreams usually look nothing and also everything like you hoped. There's no straight road between what we dream and the realities we live and along the way all kinds of things we imagined, prayed, and hoped get broken. Let's talk about that today.

Join the conversation! Let us know if you'd be interested in joining us for a day at the Black Barn by tagging @lisajobaker and @christiepurifoy or use our hashtag #OutOftheOrdinaryPodcastBecause we've got a new dream now and we hope to have you all over some day!
