The Importance of Building Porches and Pre-Porches

The podcast explores the idea of building porches as a way to create spaces for pre-evangelism and connect with non-Christians in a post-Christian culture. Porches are seen as inviting places where people can encounter Christian intuitions and have conversations before fully engaging with the church. The discussion also highlights the need for pre-porches, spaces even further removed from Christian community, to engage with people where they are and build relationships that may eventually lead to deeper spiritual conversations. The goal is to meet people where they are and invite them to take small steps towards Jesus, recognizing that community connections, hospitality, social concern, and even secular spaces can serve as porches in different contexts.
