Featuring: Lisa Harper & Allison Allen

In this moving and often hilarious live recording of Back Porch Theology, Lisa Harper and Allison Allen bring authenticity, wisdom, and warmth to the stage at Kerygma 2024. With stories that range from lost shoes onstage to sacred moments of soul-bearing vulnerability, Lisa and Allison unpack what it means to live a Jesus-shaped life in the context of embodied, biblical community.

From quoting early church fathers to sharing stories of grief, healing, and friendship, this conversation explores the theological foundation for community, the danger of confusing platform with connection, and the beauty of one-anothering in the body of Christ. With a stirring litany of the “one another” verses from scripture and a powerful closing exhortation from Dr. Jim Howard, this episode reminds us that our faith is not meant to be lived alone.

If you've ever felt isolated in ministry or longed for a safe place to land, this teaching is for you. It’s honest. It’s Spirit-led. And it’s a beautiful picture of what the Church can be when we love one another well.
