About Veronica Drake — The Back Porch Prophet

Simple, steady spiritual guidance to help you hear God in everyday life

I call myself The Back Porch Prophet because my work is gentle and grounded. It doesn’t demand a stage or a spotlight. It lives in ordinary moments, quiet spaces, and simple conversations that feel like sitting together outside at the end of a long day — honest, unhurried, and safe.

A prophet in Biblical times wasn’t a performer or a fortune-teller.
A prophet was someone who helped people hear God again.
Someone who brought clarity where confusion had settled.
Someone who called people back to relationship, not religion.

That is the heart of my calling.

Why Back Porch?

Because a porch is where people exhale.
It’s where you show up as you are.
It’s where you speak honestly and listen more carefully.
It’s where things finally make sense.

That’s the atmosphere I create when we work together — simple, human, and open. The kind of space where your soul settles enough to notice God again.

Why Prophet?

Not because I predict anything.
Not because I take God’s place in your story.
But because I help restore the connection between you and Him.

I gently name what’s been weighing on your heart.
I help you recognize the lies fear has been whispering.
I guide you toward the truth Jesus is speaking into your life right now.
I steady your attention so you can hear Him clearly, maybe for the first time in a long time.

A prophet is a relationship restorer.
That’s what I am here to be for you.

What I Do as The Back Porch Prophet

I walk with people who love God but feel disconnected or overwhelmed.
People who long for peace but can’t find it through busyness or noise.
People who want to hear God but aren’t sure how anymore.

When you sit with me, you can expect:

calm, steady guidance
honest reflection without shame
clarity when everything feels foggy
practical ways to notice God in your everyday moments
gentle truth spoken with love
space to breathe and be understood
direction that leads you back to Jesus, not to me

This isn’t spiritual performance.
This is spiritual companionship — the kind that helps you feel grounded again.

How I Help You Hear God

I listen deeply.
I pay attention to what’s beneath your words.
I help you sort through fear, confusion, and the stories that aren’t from God.

Together, we clear space for His voice — the quiet, steady kind that calms your spirit and leads your steps.

You don’t need perfect faith.
You don’t need a perfect past.
You don’t need a perfect plan.

You just need a willingness to hear Him.

If You’re Longing for Closeness With Jesus, You’re in the Right Place

The porch is open to you — the real you, the tired you, the curious you, the hopeful you.

You don’t have to come polished.
You don’t have to know Scripture by heart.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine.

You only have to show up.

I’ll sit with you.
I’ll walk with you.
And together, we’ll find your way back to the gentle, steady presence of God in the life you’re already living.

This is the heart of The Back Porch Prophet.
And I’m grateful to walk with you.
