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.


“Better Metrics” - from Down We Go: Living into the Wild Ways of Jesus by Kathy Escobar, p. 247

  • Are people experiencing change, feeling more loved, and passing on more love to others?
  • Are they less isolated and more connected?
  • Are resources being shared in organic natural ways?
  • Are people's gifts and talents being drawn out of them and used to grace and encourage others?
  • Are voices being heard that were once silenced?
  • Are fear and shame lessening, losing their hold over people's lives?
  • Are we seeing the image of God emerge from people in whom it was once buried?
