Back Porch with Jennifer Shatzer
My Back Porch is a quieter place, a section of this site where deeper thoughts and reflections live. It is where I share writing and conversation that feels too intimate for the homepage. Here you will find longer reflections about books, life, faith, healing, and the questions that don’t always come with tidy answers.
This space is not a newsletter, and it is not performance. It is not polished or curated for broad consumption. It is where I write honestly, often from a place of inward attention, listening to life unfold and recording what matters most in the quiet moments. Sometimes these reflections are written, sometimes they are audio, and sometimes they are simply thoughts that linger long enough to become words.
The Back Porch is for people who read slowly, who think deeply, and who prefer presence over polish. If you enjoy thoughtful, unfiltered conversation and reflections that take their time, this is a place you might want to sit for a while.
If this sounds like a space you are drawn to, you are welcome to join me there.
