The Front Porch Chronicles

The Front Porch Chronicles

Front Porch Chronicles is a space for real stories—raw, unfiltered, and human. 👀 Strangers with stories 🎒 Eyes full of dreams, burdens, and hopes 🛤️ Different paths—but the same human journey. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was walking through life numb—broken, disconnected, surviving. But the more I started seeing people, really seeing them… the more I realized we’re all carrying something. And we all need grace. This podcast isn’t about me. It’s about us—the overlooked, the healing, the searching. It’s about slowing down, listening deeper, and remembering that no one’s story is too small to matter. Here’s to standing tall, moving with truth and love— and reminding each other we’re not alone on the ride. One episode at a time. 🤍 🗓️ New episodes every Wednesday at 7PM PST. No fluff. No filters. Just fight and real life ⚔️
