How a Cup of Coffee and an Empty Page Became Back Porch Faith
It started at the beginning of 2026, when Rodney went to grab a calendar for the new year and noticed a journal sitting on the shelf right beside it. Something made him grab it too.
He'd tried journaling before — more than once — and always quit after a week or two. This time was different. He stuck with it.
As the days went by, he found he loved working through the questions and putting his thoughts into words. But something still felt like it was missing. He felt a tug from the Lord to bring scripture into those daily thoughts and prayers.
He felt a tugging from the Lord to incorporate scripture with the daily thoughts and prayers.
Each morning after that, Rodney carried his coffee and his Bible out to their newly remodeled back porch, sat down, and reflected — on the day ahead, on God's Word, on what he was grateful for and what he was praying through.
Out of those quiet mornings, the Back Porch Faith Journal was born — and now we get to share it with you.
