On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison take us back into the book of Exodus, one of the most pivotal stories in the Old Testament. Together, they unpack themes of deliverance and bondage, spotlighting the courageous midwives Shiphrah and Puah, the dramatic plagues, and the awe-filled moment at Mount Sinai when God's glory descended in a cloud. Their conversation reminds us that the God who brought His people out of slavery is still bringing freedom and deliverance to His children today. So pull up a chair and join us on the porch!

Hello, friend! I sure hope you're doing well today!
Being a Promised Land person does not guarantee you a problem-free life. In fact, it guarantees the opposite. In John 16:33, Jesus says, "In this world, you will have trouble." Knowing that, what do you do? Follow the example of Caleb in Joshua, Chapter 14, and set your mind on a holy cause.
In today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa & Allison explore the story of Abraham ~ an unlikely hero chosen by God in sheer grace. Together, they unpack God's sovereignty and grace in choosing, calling, and blessing people not because of their merit, but because of His faithfulness. So pull up a chair and join us on the porch!
On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison walk through portions of Genesis and reflect on how Scripture consistently restores dignity where it's been lost. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or ready to dive deeper, this conversation sets the tone for a year of discovering that there are truly no wasted words in God's story, so pull up a chair and join us on the porch!
What do you do when your people pleasing tendencies continue to come up again and again? How do you navigate the desire to please people, but ultimately continue to strive to please God? Today, I talk to Judah Smith about his tendencies to care too much about what people think, and the self-serving, self-protecting, selfish nature behind being a person who cares too much about what people think. We unpack the idea that ultimately, the root of people-pleasing is actually selfish -- because it's the desire to be wanted, loved, accepted, and validated -- is actually a desire to meet a deep, unquenchable need in us. If you struggle with people-pleasing, you need to tune in to this one.

Alex and Henry Seeley (The Belonging Co) are back for a wide-open catch-up that somehow hits everything-from family life and church growth in Tennessee to new music, new campuses, and what it's like building a multi-location church with video preaching.
Then the conversation turns holy (and hilarious) as Alex shares about her upcoming book The Divine Counselor-a fresh, needed look at Holy Spirit as a Person, not just a symbol. And Henry tells the unforgettable story of a midnight drive that became a defining encounter... complete with "walking" Holy Spirit into their home.

Hi, friend. Happy New Year!
If you're resolving to pray more this year - and shouldn't we all? - this episode is for you.
There is a remarkable story in Joshua chapter 10. While in battle, the Hebrews needed more daylight. Joshua asks God to stop the sun from setting, and God does. Verse 14 says, "God took orders from a human voice." How's that for a reminder that God listens to our prayers?
