They believe that the very best stories grow out of the soil of ordinary life. Lisa-Jo and Christie, along with a whole host of others, are turning social media’s usual ways upside down through quiet, weekly rhythms of listening, sharing, and celebrating in a virtual gathering place called the Black Barn Online. You are invited to join them in helping to build a place where art and faith cultivated in community can take root, flourish, and grow at www.blackbarnonline.com.
