4 SEP. 2024 · Season 2, Episode 21: Coach Matt Nally wants to win football games, but over the last few years he's realized that's not why he does what he does. In the midst of his success on the football field, his philosophy on coaching has evolved. Instead of focusing on the wins and losses, the leader of the Melissa Cardinals Football Team wants to pour into his players and coaches. He wants to help them be strong men, good citizens, loving husbands and engaged fathers. For Coach Nally, it's not about winning football games ... it's about winning life. #thefrontporch

15 AGO. 2024 · Season 2, Episode 19: Mila Figg is an all-star. She is a published author. She is a mechanical engineer. She is a small business owner. On this episode of The Front Porch, we give Mila the opportunity to share her inspiring story, because she now proudly calls Melissa, Texas, home. Orginally from Kenya, Mila wanted to live the "American dream." Once she arrived in the United States to start college, she realized it wasn't exactly what she was expecting. (There was no limousine waiting for her at the airport with a suitcase of money in the trunk.) But that didn't deter this head-strong woman. She rolled up her sleeves and generated her own "milk and honey" in America. This is a story of strength and resilience. #frontporch
