I first became familiar with Lisa Harper and her ministry through her preaching at Elevation Church. But I REALLY started listening to more of her teachings after they were recommended by VERY good friends of mine, Matt & Kelly. Also a single woman myself, I deeply respect Lisa’s transparency in regards to her own journey - as well as how she ministers so effectively as a single woman. Her theology is sound and trusted, her humor contagious, her journey inspiring and hope filled, and I love recommending her and hear teachings to anyone who loves Jesus, thinkings deeply, and appreciates mixing sweetness and sassiness in a God honoring way 🫶

I have listened to a lot of podcasts, and often with Christian podcasts, I find myself feeling like I’m never doing enough. At this moment, I am listening to one of these episodes, tears streaming down my face, as they talk about how we were never meant to be the Proverbs 31 woman alone. While I knew that, my soul didn’t know it until I heard these beautiful women discuss it. This is probably the 10th Back Porch Theology podcast I’ve listened to, and I can feel myself take a deep breath each time I listen. I’m so grateful and thankful this podcast exists. 🩷

We are soul sisters-all 3 of us! I have been listening since your porch launch and would have a hard time picking a favorite episode because I walk away from each one with a desire to receive more of ALL that Jesus is offering me.
Your recent teaching on the Song of Solomon brought my heart wide open! Thank you so much for sharing His revelation of scripture to you. Keep holding it in open hands!

I LOVE this podcast! I always laugh and am entertained, while learning new things about God and the Bible. I love how they break it down to make it digestible. I listen to this every time they have a new episode! Also wish Dr. Joel became a regular as well!

Your podcast has made a difference in my life and I am grateful, but it's very difficult to listen when you speak over the person that you're interviewing. Even affirming what they say or quoting Bible verses *with them* as they say it is distracting. Please let them just speak (or do solo episodes).
