Sadie and Christian Huff are back for their third visit - and three years, three kids, and one viral leech-in-a-box clip later, they're catching Levi and Jennie up on everything. They open up about filming Duck Dynasty: The Revival through Sadie's pregnancy with Kit (which wrapped the same week they said goodbye to Phil Robertson), what Sadie learned writing her most personal book yet, and the honest, sometimes hilarious dynamics of doing life and ministry as a family in the public eye.

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa & Allison welcome Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams from She Reads Truth for a rich conversation through the Gospel of John.

From abiding in Christ to the power of God's living and active Word, this episode is a reminder that Scripture is meant to transform us, not just inform us. Grab your Bible and pull up a chair - we're so glad you're here.

When kids take over the house, marriage can easily go to survival mode - and suddenly the relationship you love feels like one more chore on the to-do list. In this powerful Couples Therapy episode, Lenny and Letty open up about the invisible ways parenting, exhaustion, and unresolved patterns are draining their connection. With three kids, room-sharing, chronic sleep disruption, and years of putting everyone else first, they have reached a point where intentional connection is nonexistent. Debra helps them uncover what is really happening underneath the bedtime battles. What starts as a conversation about kids in the bedroom becomes a deeper look at motivation, avoidance, emotional timing, and the patterns that keep couples disconnected even when they still love each other deeply. If you've ever felt like your marriage is getting lost under the demands of parenting, work, and fatigue, this episode will hit home. It's honest, hopeful, and full of practical wisdom for couples who want to move from barely getting by to building something stronger on purpose.Tune into this episode, and then grab a copy of Relationship Skills to learn the skills you need to build a thriving relationship.

In this week's message, "Trusting God," Megan Fate Erickson teaches us that there's a difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him, and that relationship is built on bringing Him your whole heart.
Even the places where trust feels difficult can become the very places where we learn to trust Him more. In the gap between where we are and where He's leading us, we discover a God who came near.
