S3 EP 38: The Father’s Porch: Waiting, Wandering, and the Hope That Never Leaves

On this episode of the Eat Pray Faith Podcast, Dr. Tracey sits down with a very special guest—Dr. Sherian McCoy, trusted practitioner, mentor, and woman of deep faith—to talk about the release of her new book, The Father’s Porch.

Inspired by the parable of the Prodigal Son, The Father’s Porch is a tender, honest journey for parents—and anyone—who have loved someone who wandered. Together, Dr. Tracey and Dr. Sherian explore what it means to wait without striving, to love without chasing, and to trust God’s heart when life becomes messy, painful, or uncertain.

This conversation dives into the symbolism of the porch, the seasons of grief and hope, the danger of shame and bitterness, and the quiet, powerful truth that the Father is always watching—always waiting—with open arms.

If you’ve ever felt lost, ashamed, weary from waiting, or unsure how to surrender someone you love to God, this episode is for you.
