Today on the Back Porch, buckle up for a soulful road trip. Lisa and Allison explore Psalm 84 with the sons of Korah, tracing the Valley of Baca-the valley of tears-as a map for our own hard stretches where God meets us in grief, teaches us contentment, and invites us to be fully present right where our feet are. Fill your cup with coffee or cider, wrap up in a blanket, and wander out to the leaf-strewn porch.
Hi, friend. I hope you're having a good day.
Today's episode brings us to one of the unlikeliest heroes of the Bible-Rahab. Maybe you know her story. Maybe you relate to her story. Nothing to lose, pulled from the bottom of the pit and pressed into service for God's plan. God used her because she trusted him. May we all have that in common with Rahab.

At this fertile, strategic crossroads of history, Scripture's conflicts ultimately point us to hope in Jesus. Pour yourself a hot cup of coffee or cider, settle into a blanket, and meet us on the fall-kissed porch.
Hello, friend. Thank you for joining me for another Encouraging Word.
It can be difficult to tune out the negative voices around us. It can be difficult to tune out the negative voices in our own heads! If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you know we just did a bunch of episodes about that. But thankfully, God has given us his Word, just as he gave Joshua and the Israelites, to help us know and heed his voice.

Hi, friend. I sure hope you're doing well.
Last week I told a story about getting a gift from my dad. I have another story about my dad this week. You probably know by now that I love to tell stories about my dad. This story isn't about getting a car. It's about something he did for me when I was young that our Heavenly Father does for us now - he fights for us.
Today on the Back Porch (Part 3 of our Mountain & Valley series), Lisa, Allison, and Dr. Jim Howard walk through the theology of peaks and valleys, from Elijah's bold stand on Mount Carmel to his post-victory crash in 1 Kings 19. Along the way, we explore how God meets our fatigue and grief with rest, renewal, and the gift of community. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and join us on the porch!
Today on Back Porch, Lisa & Allison kick off a new six-part series Mountains & Valleys, exploring how God meets us in both the highs and lows of life. From Lisa's 50-mile Appalachian Trail hike to Moses' burning bush encounter, they remind us that God's presence is steady, His covenant sure, and our journeys best walked with persistence and community. So grab a pumpkin flavored latte, pull up a chair, we're so glad you joined us!
