Speaking, Teaching, & Preaching
Porter is available for guest preaching, parish retreats, clergy conferences, workshops, lectures, and seminary teaching.
As a priest, theologian, author, and teacher, Porter brings together academic scholarship and fourteen years of ordained ministry to explore the intersections of worship, preaching, theology, discipleship, and the life of the Church.
Whether addressing a congregation, gathering with clergy, or teaching in an academic setting, Porter is committed to helping the Church think more deeply about its worship, attend more faithfully to the Gospel, and participate more fully in the life of God.

Porter regularly speaks, preaches, and teaches on subjects including:
Worship and Liturgical Theology — How the Church's worship shapes its theology, identity, and participation in the life of God.
Preaching and the Paschal Mystery — Proclaiming the death and resurrection of Christ through Scripture, sermon, and liturgy.
Christian Formation and Discipleship — The role of ritual, habit, and embodied practice in the formation of Christian lives.
Theology and the Life of the Church — Bringing theological reflection into conversation with the realities of parish ministry, leadership, and congregational life.
The Christian Year and the Life of Prayer — How the rhythms of Christian time and common prayer form the Church's imagination and witness.
These subjects can be adapted for parish retreats, clergy gatherings, conferences, academic lectures, and workshops. Porter also welcomes invitations to address other topics related to theology and the life of the Church.
