Sacred & Strange
Welcome to Sacred & Strange — the official podcast of The Porch Missional Community & Coffee Roasters.
Hosted by Jason Urena, Sacred & Strange is a space where theology meets mystery, story meets spirit, and nothing is too weird to talk about. Each episode features honest conversations with guests from all walks of life—exploring the sacred moments that shaped them, the strange encounters that stretched them, and the passions that make them who they are. From deep theology to cryptids, church wounds to comic books, revival to the mundane, this is where the wild and the holy collide.
Brew a cup, open your mind, and join the journey.

Hey there everyone, we have some exciting news from the porch. On July 6th, we're launching our newest podcast, Around the Table. Around the table is a discipleship podcast from the porch. At the porch, we believe some of the most important moments of formation happen around the table. In homes, in conversations, in scripture, in worship, in prayer, and in the honest wrestle of following Jesus together. Around the table is where we gather teachings, conversations, Bible studies, and moments from our house church community, and share them with anyone who is hungry to grow deeper in Christ. This podcast is designed to help us shape our worldview around Jesus, not simply adding him to the life we already have, but allowing him to transform the way we see God, ourselves, scripture, the world, and our place in his kingdom. In each episode, you'll hear teachings and conversations that challenge the status quo, stir up deeper faith, and invite us to ask better questions. What does it really mean to follow Jesus? How should Scripture shape the way we live? What is the gospel we've been entrusted with? Who are we as sons and daughters of God? And how do we live as faithful witnesses in our homes, our communities, and our generation? Some episodes will come from house church messages, others will come from Bible studies, recorded conversations, or teachings from different voices within the porch community. But the heart behind every episode is the same. To equip believers, spark meaningful conversation, and call us into a life of deeper discipleship. We don't want to simply consume information. We want to be formed by truth. We don't want to settle for cultural Christianity. We want to become people whose lives are shaped by the way of Jesus. Around the Table officially launches on July 6th, so be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast platform so you don't miss an episode. And for more from the porch, check us out on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. There you'll find more teachings, conversations, and content from our community, including our other podcast, Sacred and Strange, our Live House Church gatherings every Saturday night, and more. So pull up a chair and join us around the table. As we learn, wrestle, grow, and follow Jesus together. Because discipleship doesn't happen from the stage, it happens at the table.
