Be a Refuge Podcast - Episode 6: Small is Plenty  

In this episode, Kathy and Jo talk about how we have learned (and are still learning) to love and honor the magic that happens in small and simple gatherings. We discuss the confusion some people feel walking through our doors after reading about us in Searching for Sunday (by Rachel Held Evans), and talk about how we stay centered in the fact that it's okay to live by different metrics than the old systems we were part of.
