On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison explore the stories of Elijah and Elisha, along with Huldah the prophetess. Along the way, they reflect on the difference between transparency and vulnerability, the grace God shows in moments of burnout and spiritual drift, and the beautiful reminder that God can use anyone-regardless of visibility or platform-to accomplish His purposes.

Hello, my friend. We make mistakes, don't we? We make stupid decisions, some of use more than others. We sin. And God, in his kindness, has given us a tool to deal with it. To resolve the regret or shame left behind by those bad decisions. He has given us confession. 

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa & Allison discuss Solomon, the reflections of Ecclesiastes, and the opening chapters of 1 Kings. Though given extraordinary wisdom, Solomon's life reveals the danger of pursuing success apart from God. The conversation also reflects on David's costly act of worship and the deeper truth that true wisdom grows in humble hearts that remain dependent on God's grace. Come join us on the porch-we're so glad you're here.

Hello, friend. Thank you for joining me this week. If you've missed some episodes or are just tuning in for the first time, this is a great place to start. We're talking about what happens when grace happens, something I didn't fully understand until I was years into ministry. I pray you understand it today.  

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa Harper, Allison Allen, and Dr. Joel Muddamalle unpack the major themes of 1 & 2 Samuel, including kingship, the word of God, and spiritual warfare.

The conversation highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers and points to Jesus as the ultimate King and Redeemer. Grab a cup and pull up a chair-we're so glad you're here on the porch.

Hi, friend. Welcome to the Encouraging Word Podcast. This week's episode brings us to a story you've probably heard; you may even hear it this Holy Week. In John chapter 13, we read about Jesus washing his followers' feet. This passage is often referred to when teaching about service or humility. But it also offers something else very important-how to respond to someone who hurts you. 

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa, Allison, and Dr. Joel Muddamalle step into the dramatic world of the books of Samuel-where tearful prayers, wise courage, and supernatural moments collide. From Hannah's heartbreak and Abigail's bold wisdom to Saul and David's contrasting paths of descent and ascent, they explore how God's Word moves through messy families and broken stories to bring restoration. Pull up a chair and join us on the porch-we're so glad you're here.

Could your everyday decisions actually be acts of worship?
