Stories & Songs | Black History Month (Full Evening)

In February 2022, artists and musicians from across The Journey gathered together to hear from our African-American brothers and sisters. This was a night to share stories and songs from their collective history, celebrate God’s faithfulness in their lives, and recognize the ways that God has uniquely knit them into the beautiful tapestry that is our Journey family.
What do these conversations bring up in your own heart and mind?
