The Book: The Father’s Porch

The Father’s Porch is a devotional journey for parents of prodigals—woven with Scripture, seasons, and stories that echo the ache of waiting and the hope that never dies.

Written from the front porch of faith and love, this book is for the heart that prays, weeps, and still watches the road.

You’ll find:

  • Seasonal devotions that mirror the emotional journey of waiting

  • Biblical portraits of parents who loved wayward children

  • Gentle reflections, prayers, and porch wisdom for your soul

A companion workbook is also in the works—created to help you journal, pray, and process your own story as you sit on the porch with God.

You are not alone.

Notes from the Porch

Each week, you’ll find new writings from the porch—stories, scriptures, and soul-deep encouragement for the long wait. These aren’t just blog posts. They’re prayers on paper. Porch conversations. Hope, written in every season.

Whether you’re walking through winter’s silence, spring’s rebuilding, summer’s strength, or fall’s letting go… there’s something here for you.

Prayer Requests

You don’t have to wait alone. We’re here to pray with you.

The porch was never meant to be a place of isolation—but of presence. If you're praying for a prodigal, or if your heart feels too heavy to carry alone, you’re invited to leave a request below.

We may not know your whole story, but we’ll bring your name and your loved one before the Lord with care and faith.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Whether you share a sentence or a page, we’ll read it.
We’ll pray.
And we’ll keep the light on.
