Views from The Porch

So, like we said, we kind of just dropped off the face of the planet. BUT, it wasn’t meant to be that way. Before we left, we recorded an episode on the topic of rest. We just rested so hard, we forgot to post it. (Whoops) In this episode from August, we sit down and talk about how important rest and the “sabbath” are to God.

Have you heard?! David Marvin released a book called, “We’re All Freaking Out”. Your bible-based strategy to fighting anxiety. In this episode, we talk about the book and how it addresses mental health, how it’s plaguing our generation today, and what it looks like to surrender those things to God.

So if you’re a normal Views listener, you probably noticed that we kind of disappeared this summer. What’s up with that? Well…we’re not OFFICIALLY back, but in this podcast, David, JD, and Laura explain where they’ve been, what they’re doing, and what’s in store for the future of Views from The Porch.

In this episode, the team tackles a big one: if you're in a relationship, when is it okay to drop the L word? Can we say it to friends of the opposite gender? Lots of tea spilled in this one, as the team shares when they've said "I love you" to boyfriends and girlfriends past.

In this episode, the recently engaged JD Rodgers, asks David all his questions about what makes a successful engagement. The team talks through questions like, "What does it look like to wait well? How long should engagements last? Do you really 'know when you know?'" And, "How do you talk to the parents?"

It's pride month, and we want our friends to know we love them ... but we don't want to encourage sinful behaviors. Does attending a gay wedding mean you're giving your stamp of approval? In this episode the team talks about what it looks like to navigate this decision.

On Tuesday nights we've been talking through some hot takes, like "Modest isn't hottest, but it's better." In this episode of VFTP, the team continues the modesty convo--should girls wear bikinis? Are some okay and others not? How should the ladies navigate this decision and should guys be running around shirtless?

As a kid were you bored in church? Always getting in trouble for messing with your siblings? Yeah, us too. In this episode the team talks about what separates great sermons from boring sermons and why Jesus was such a great teacher.

In this episode David, Laura, and our friend Josh Thames talk all things "mormon"... are they Christians, is it just another denomination, and who are the Latter-day Saints?

In this episode, David, JD, and Laura answer YOUR questions!
