About the Founder/Creator

Red Dirt Preacher - Reverend Lanie Quinlan

Reverend Lanie Quinlan is a preacher reshaping the way people interact with the spirit of Christ. Her podcasts and sermons from 'The Porch', a non-brick and mortar church, are revolutionizing the way we view, attend, and think of traditional church. 

Reverend Lanie Quinlan, aka “Red Dirt Preacher” has built a ministry outside of organized churches with the spirit of Jesus constantly by her side. Motivated by the fundamental belief that God is Love and Love is God, she accepts the common traits that bind us and rejects the religious constructs that divide us. Rev. Lanie stays busy from the plains of the Oklahoma bible belt to her current home of Georgia, now taking on the lighthouses of the east coast. She will be on an inspirational speaking tour this year, 2023, to inspire and call for globally unity. 

Rev. Lanie loves the red dirt of her origins which embodies the strength and resilience of her personal path to freedom. She is in lockstep with the country and western culture that she grew up with, which is reflected in every word she utters. At her core, she is an outlaw preacher that draws on her blue-collar authenticity to build her own revolutionary ministry. Founder and creator of ‘The Porch' – Global Christ Conscious Church, her words inspire change, hope and deliver a message that we are all loved.

Jesus is not her religion; He is her savior and through that process, she shows others what it means to live in the spirit. Without walls, ceilings, labels, guilt, or judgment, she encourages her congregation to be that welcoming shining light on the porch that invites all to enter. As Jesus condemned the Pharisees for how they stood above the people, so does Lanie, who takes her spiritual teachings back to the grassroots.There is no pedestal from which she preaches. She is with you every step of the way, accepting your sins as she herself sins and accepting anyone in her ministry who wants to be a part of her spiritual journey.

She is not the fire and brimstone from the dog days of damnation. She is the passion and energy that is a beacon for the people she understands so well. Also, a talented songwriter that uses her music as medicine, and a broadcaster that shares whatever moves her creatively, she understands the traditions of country music as it touches every single moment of her life. Like one of her heroes Johnny Cash, her ministry ‘walks the line’. She speaks her own truths and the raw emotion of her awakening to let people know that God is within everyone. Her sermons are also full of fun and humility as she never takes herself too seriously and brings an overwhelming sense of joy, delight, and humor to her preaching.

Church is not a place. It is a feeling, and Lanie liberates her congregation through spiritual freedom. Sincere, honest, and tenacious, she leads a revolution of love for all people to enjoy. Determined to one day preach from the main stage at music concerts and festivals across the nation, she wants to bring the integrity of the red dirt to wider audiences. To let them feel that same earthy spirituality wash over them in a mutual celebration of the divine rather than the dreary dogma of religion. Unity. Peace. Love. Forgiveness. The mantra of Christ’s teaching inspires her on towards her destiny. That constantly evolving narrative has enabled The Red Dirt Preacher to become a revolutionary preacher and teacher with Jesus forever in her heart.

Challenging, anti-establishment, brave, and unrelenting, travel to her porch and listen to the Word in a way you have never experienced before. The light is always on.
