In a special five-minute episode of We'll Leave The Porch Light On, Board of Directors Ben Slick, Bob Nielsen, and Jim Williams give us an inside look at what's emerging at Theodyssey. Hear about the early days, an unexpected lesson in dependence, and what they see for the journey ahead.

Imagine crossing the border every day for 14 years. Hours spent navigating long lines, annoying procedures, and political rants. As a "border kid," this way of life provided more than education and career opportunities for Gilberto. It became a passageway to authentic spiritual growth, a purpose bigger than himself, and sense of belonging within a local Theodyssey community. 

Get a glimpse into how Gilberto's love of people and culture launched a special project with Theodyssey.

In episode three of We'll Leave The Porch Light On, Laura shares how Covid-19 restrictions at her school presented the opportunity for a heartfelt interaction with a student. Laura's journey through pain and experience of Jesus' redemptive love was the curriculum for this memorable encounter.

We continue our conversation with Laura in episode two. After the death of her husband, drawing became an expression of prayer for Laura. While at a retreat, she found herself drawing an intense and scary scene she had lived out years earlier. It was at that moment, Laura sensed it was time to walk through the door and into a new reality. One of freedom and hope.

In our first episode, Laura shares a moment when she felt the freedom to be gritty and raw in front of God and others. And how that moment became a vital part of her process through pain after the death of her husband.
