Today on the Back Porch, we're trading ham for turkey, dressing for stuffing debates, and canned jelly for fresh cranberries as we talk all things Thanksgiving ~ and the deeper gratitude that outlasts the leftovers. We'll name some hard seasons and the surprising ways God's goodness has met us there, reminding us that gratitude isn't denial ~ it's defiant hope. Take a breather from the Thanksgiving prep, pull up a chair, and join us as we count kernels of kindness from a faithful God.
Hello, friend. I hope you're doing well. This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, so I think today's episode is especially fitting.
In Joshua 4, just as many of us will do this week with family and friends, Joshua and the Hebrew people were instructed to pause and remember all God had done for them. And that act of gratitude prepared them for what came next.

In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with Lysa TerKeurst for an honest conversation about trusting God through heartbreak, betrayal, and unanswered questions.

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.
Hello, friend. I hope you're well today.
The last few episodes, we've seen Joshua and the Israelites face one obstacle after another. Well this week is a biggie - crossing the Jordan River. But this story isn't just about getting from one side of a river to the other. It's about how God delivers us from what stands between us and him.
