Let’s bring back the front porch. This is the tenth and final episode in the Blueprints for Building Your Spiritual Dream Home series. If you’ve missed any of the previous episodes, I hope you’ll take the time to go back and listen, starting in your podcast app with How to Build a Godly Home: Choosing the Right Location. But the very first episode, Open Your Blueprint, can only be found on my website at CarolRoper.org. Today I’ll share about one of my favorite amenities a house can have—the front porch, and why it can be one of the most important rooms of your home.
