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!
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.
Have you ever felt like what you have is just not enough? In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 from Mark 6 to remind us that God doesn't need perfection-He just asks us to bring what we have. You'll discover how God uses our limitations, multiplies what feels insufficient, and even turns broken pieces into testimonies of His faithfulness. This message will encourage you to stop disqualifying yourself and start trusting the God of miracles.
✨ Discover today:
* Why God asks us to bring what we do have, not what we don't.
* How brokenness becomes the very place of multiplication.
* How to hold on to the evidence of past miracles when you face new storms.

Hello, my friend. I hope you're having a good day.
In our human reasoning, Joshua had every reason to be uncertain. No one would have bet on the Hebrew people to conquer Canaan. But Joshua had one big thing going for him - God told him he would be victorious.

You are not disqualified. In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with author, journalist and advocate Joyce Koo Dalrymple for a powerful conversation about redemption, calling, and discovering purpose on the other side of pain. Joyce shares her journey from feeling unqualified to becoming an adoptive mom, ministry leader, and voice of hope. If you've ever felt too disqualified or too wounded to be used by God, this episode will remind you: nothing is wasted when it's surrendered to Him.
SHOW NOTES:
Finding Purpose in Pain
Christine and Joyce talk about how the very places of deepest hurt can become the places God uses most powerfully for His purposes.

From Abandonment to Belonging

Hello, friend. I hope you're doing well. If you've been listening to the podcast the past few weeks, you know we just wrapped up a series about managing our thought lives. This week we're starting a new series I think will encourage you as you uproot negative thinking and replace it with truth.
We're going back to the Old Testament, to the story of Joshua and the children of Israel. You've never seen a group more stuck in a rut and trapped in destructive, negative thought patterns! But God had a Promised Land for them, and, friend, he has one for you too.
