Transformation begins when application and obedience take root.

When we live out the Word, we begin to change. True change starts when obedience takes hold.

Back Porch Theology.

break outs & Panels

  • Marriage Panel (All Ages & Stages)

    You will have the privilege of hearing from couples whose journeys span a wide range of seasons—some in the early chapters of marriage at five years, and others who have built decades-long partnerships of 30 years and beyond.


    What makes this conversation so special is the diversity of experience represented here. Each couple has traveled a unique path, faced different challenges, celebrated different milestones, and discovered their own rhythms of growth, commitment, and connection. Together, their perspectives offer a rich, honest, and inspiring look at what it really means to build a lasting relationship.


    Whether you’re married, preparing for marriage, or simply interested in learning more about healthy, enduring partnerships, we hope today’s discussion will leave you encouraged, challenged, and reminded that no matter the season you’re in, there is always room to grow, to strengthen, and to love more deeply.


  • Verse Mapping

    Verse mapping involves picking one or two verses and honing in on the meaning, context, and importance to the story of Scripture. In a culture where we value efficiency and often skim through our Bible reading, verse mapping invites us to slow down and savor Scripture. 


    Often, so much that it is etched into our hearts and memorized. By verse mapping, we are reminded of the treasure of God’s Word—that every verse is God-breathed and intentional. God’s Word was crafted intentionally. It was not written with spontaneity or by accident. It is without flaw. Learn how to start the process of verse mapping!


  • How to Pray

    Prayer can take many forms—quiet reflection, spoken words, moments of gratitude, or heartfelt requests. There’s no single “right” way to pray, and part of the journey is discovering what feels authentic and sustainable for you.


    We’ll talk about practical approaches to prayer, simple ways to begin, and how to create space for prayer in a busy world. You’ll hear guidance and encouragement that can help make prayer not just an occasional moment, but a natural and meaningful part of your everyday life.


    The hope is that you feel empowered, grounded, and inspired to build a deeper connection through prayer—one step, one moment, one conversation with God at a time.


  • How to Spend Time in the Word

    Whether you’re opening the Bible for the first time, rekindling a habit you once had, or looking to go deeper than ever before, this session is designed to meet you right where you are.


    Spending time in Scripture isn’t just about reading words on a page—it’s about encountering wisdom, direction, and encouragement that transform our daily lives. In this breakout, we’ll explore practical approaches to Scripture reading and ways to make the Word come alive in your everyday routines.


    We hope you leave this conversation feeling equipped, confident, and inspired to build a meaningful, consistent relationship with Scripture—one that nourishes your faith, strengthens your spirit, and causes flourishing in your life!


  • Flower Bar & Devotion

    This breakout is a “Build Your Own Bouquet” experience. Today, we’ll be using something beautifully simple—flowers—to reflect on something beautifully powerful: the ways we can become more rooted in our faith and transformed through obedience to God’s will.


    As you create your own bouquet, each stem will represent a different spiritual practice or commitment that helps anchor you in your walk with God. Just as a bouquet grows more vibrant with each flower added, our faith deepens as we intentionally cultivate habits that draw us closer to Him.


    Throughout this experience, you’ll also have time to pause, reflect, and journal. We invite you to use these moments to be honest with yourself and open to what God may be speaking to your heart. Let this be a space where you slow down, breathe, and let God shape something meaningful within you.


    By the end, you won’t just leave with a bouquet—you’ll leave with a visual reminder of your desire to grow, to obey, and to be transformed from the inside out.


  • Cultivating Community

    Welcome to our session on Cultivating Community—a space dedicated to exploring what it really means to find your people, to build meaningful relationships, and to walk through the highs and lows of life together.


    Community is one of God’s greatest gifts, but it’s also something that requires intentionality. Many of us wonder: How do I find the right people? How do I build connections that feel authentic? What do I do when relationships get messy or hard? In this breakout we are going to dive into how to identify life-giving community, and how to cultivate relationships that help you grow, strengthen your faith, and reflect God’s love.


  • Personal Development: “Let Them See You In Me: Personal Growth Rooted in Christ”

    Personal development isn’t just about becoming a better version of ourselves — it’s about spiritual formation. It’s allowing God to do the deep, internal work that shapes who we are at the core, so that everything flowing out of our lives reflects His presence, His character, and His love.

    The flourishing life happens when women invite God into every space — their schedules, their priorities, their emotions, and their habits. It happens when we allow Him to prune what no longer serves His purpose and cultivate what strengthens our identity in Him. This kind of growth teaches us how to walk in purpose, live with intention, respond with grace, and stand firmly rooted no matter what season we’re in.


    In this session, we’ll explore practical tools that help you become the woman God has uniquely designed you to be. You’ll learn how to build rhythms of rest that nourish your spirit. We’ll talk about practical tools to help you cultivate inner character, creating space for God to speak life over you. 


    This breakout encourages the kind of growth that transforms how you show up in every relationship, responsibility, and environment. Whether that is a workplace or when you are spending time with your kids. Our hope is that through this breakout, you will learn a few practical tools to become the woman God has designed you to be, so you can show up as Her in every area of your life. 

  • Why Your Health Matters to God

    Your health matters to God because you matter to God. He created your body with intention and care, and He desires for you to live with strength, energy, and wholeness so you can fully walk in the purpose He’s given you. Caring for your physical, mental, and emotional health isn’t just self-care — it’s stewardship. When you nurture the body and mind God entrusted to you, you honor Him, you support your ability to serve others, and you create space for His joy and peace to flow through your life.

  • Sports Mom, God's Way

    Navigating sports as a parent is an opportunity to reflect God as the Creator in every moment — in how you cheer, how you correct, and how you guide your child’s heart. Rather than focusing only on performance or outcomes, you can help your child see their abilities as gifts from God, meant to be developed and used to point back to the one who deserves all the Golry - God.  It also means modeling Christlike behavior from the sidelines: showing patience, humility, kindness, and respect for coaches, officials, and other players. When you approach sports this way, you teach your child that their worth isn’t tied to a scoreboard but rooted in the God who created them — and that honoring Him matters more than any win.


    Join us for this breakout as Sarah gives you practical tools to use with your kiddos as they develop into athletes over time. All age levels are encouraged to go to this breakout! 


  • Outreach & Next Steps

    Discipleship is more than a concept—it’s a lifestyle of following Jesus by loving others the way He loves us. At its core, it’s about letting His example shape our hearts, our actions, and the way we engage with the world around us.


    In this session, we’ll explore practical ways to live out discipleship in everyday life. We’ll talk about finding a place of service at your local church—and learning to serve faithfully where our feet are planted. You’ll discover the power of sharing your story, using your experiences to encourage and inspire others in their walk with Christ. 


    Our goal is to equip you to love intentionally, serve generously, and share boldly, so that through your life, others can see Jesus in action. Discipleship isn’t just what we do—it’s who we become as we let His love flow through us.
