Back Porch - Have a seat. Share your story.

Want to be a Part of the Back Porch?

The Back Porch is a community of people committed to (1) receiving a ReStoried life for themselves AND (2) offering that life to others through regular donation. 

You help us do this by your commitment to prayer and/or financial support. Your recurring tax-deductible donations allow us to continue our work of helping people experience “on earth as it is in heaven”.

Your support makes it possible for us to:

  • Introduce students to a deeper relationship with Jesus and a “different way” of navigating college life
  • Change the course of marriages that are in crisis by providing couples the opportunity to attend intensives and retreats regardless of their financial situation
  • Launch healthy marriages by providing premarital groups and support for engaged and newly married couples
  • Create and offer transformational resources and experiences to individuals seeking greater connection to God and others

As part of our Back Porch community, you will:

  • Receive our Porch Light publication so you’ll be the first to know what’s happening at ReStoried and have plenty of inspiration for living God’s good, beautiful, and true story yourself.
  • Be invited to live Zoom Q + A calls with Joey + Elizabeth (and maybe some surprise guests!)
  • Benefit from thoughtfully crafted and curated resources to help you grow in your relationship with God and others
  • Get early access to events and groups

As a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, our goal is to make sure a Restoried life can be accessible to all. This is made possible by your tax-deductible donations.

Testimonials

  • “I really had no idea what to expect going into it, but this weekend was exactly what I needed. It left me with a powerful sense of brotherhood, peace, inspiration and control of my life.”
    Zach
    Men’s Wilderness Weekend Participant
  • “I went into this weekend not knowing a single person involved and came away with an authentic group of brothers that were willing to listen to my story and struggles with genuine interest and without condemnation.  They were also ready to come alongside me to make forward progress as part of a community.”
    Chad
    Men’s Wilderness Weekend Participant
  • “In traditional counseling you get an hour, then it’s over.  Having an entire weekend to focus on our marriage was a game changer.  We were able to talk through things we’d never once discussed in over 11 years of marriage.  The love and truth Elizabeth and Joey showed us have stayed with us long after the intensive.”
    Walker + Heather
    Marriage Intensive Participants
  • “By God’s grace, a friend introduced me and my husband to Elizabeth and Joey. We attended one of their weekend intensive events and it saved our marriage. I can truly say that we would not be where we are without their help in guiding us both. “

  • “The couples’ weekend was so valuable. It was a safe space to ask hard questions, look into our past and how it affects our present, and recommit to fighting hard for a marriage that’s alive and vibrant. It was practical and gave us starting spots in areas where we seem to get stuck. We can’t recommend it enough!”
