Front Porch with the Fitzes: Recent Episodes
Elyse Fitzpatrick, Joel Fitzpatrick, Jessica Thompson
Front Porch with the Fitzes, is a weekly chinwag featuring author Elyse Fitzpatrick and two of her three kids, Jessica Thompson and Joel Fitzpatrick. Sometimes some unexpected folks might even drop by and sit for a spell. Every week they’ll jibber about family life, things that interest them in culture or news, and what they’re learning about the Lord. Imagine sitting on the front porch of your ol’ Kentucky home, listening to three slightly off-kilter believers talk about life, do a lot of laughing at each other and everyone else…and then, of course, there’s always the bluegrass music playing in the background.
In this week's episode, Pop and Elyse talk about what it is like being married for 52 years. They also talk about the breakups they experienced before they were married. Then we look at which Toy Story character we relate to more when it comes to baseball.
