On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison are joined by Kristi McLelland for a rich conversation about the Minor Prophets, with a special focus on the book of Hosea. Together, they trace the threads of Hosea's powerful love story-a living illustration of God's relentless pursuit of His people. While the Minor Prophets contain sobering warnings and calls to repentance, they ultimately point to a God who never gives up on His people and whose story culminates in redemption through Jesus. Pull up a chair and join us-we're so glad you're here.

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison sit down with Alex Seeley for a powerful conversation about the person and presence of the Holy Spirit through the lens of the book of Ezekiel. Together, they explore God's promise to breathe life into dry bones and what that means for believers who feel weary, discouraged, or spiritually dry. This encouraging conversation is a reminder that God still breathes life into what feels lifeless and that true revival begins with an invitation to the Holy Spirit. Pull up a chair and come hang out with us on the porch-we're so glad you're here.
Exhaustion. Fatigue. Lack of Motivation. Apathy. Overwhelm. How do you know if you're burnt out - or if you're just dealing with hormones? Because we know that sometimes the two can feel like the same thing! Today I'm joined by Gina, who is calling in to process whether she's burnt out from a demanding career in full time ministry over many years without a break, or because she's in the middle of menopause? Which one is it, and how do you know the difference? And then - what do you do about it? We process how to differentiate between the two, as well as some of the overlaps between the two - and then we end with some practical advice, suggestions, and next steps for her as she commits to getting her body back to baseline and learning to care for her soul. Listen to this entire episode, and share with someone you know who might be in the thick of it right now! And then pick up a copy of the life-changing message of Soul Care and learn what it means to bring your body back to baseline and care for your soul!

Hello, my friend. You've probably heard the phrase, "The only constant in life is change." Chances are, you're facing some changes right now. If you're struggling with the unknown or worried about what's ahead of you, may the promise of Psalm 23 remind you that whatever you face, you are never, ever alone. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." (Psalm 23:6)
He's the son of pastor Stephen Furtick, but Graham built something all his own - a Sunday-night Bible study with four friends that grew into "the living room," a movement so big the cops got called on it. Fresh off graduation, Graham joins Levi and Jennie to talk about walking away from a wrestling scholarship, the "pocket praiser" principle that changed how he worships, and bombing his very first sermon.
