Ep 42: Considering Lilies, Stories and the Particular with Kirstin Jeffrey Johnson

Join our conversation with Kirstin Jeffrey Johnson where we get a window into her own imagination as the director of the Windstone Farm Community and a lover and scholar of George MacDonald.

Walk with us as we receive the command to consider the lilies, to attend to good stories, and to trust in the work of being present in the particulars of our own places and lives.

We are so grateful for this new relationship with Kirstin and Windstone Farm, and we anticipate this is just the beginning of the conversation between us. Hope you enjoy!
