Meet Steve Porter
Carrying the Heart of Jesus to a Hurting World
Steve and Diane Porter have devoted their lives to leading others into deeper intimacy with Jesus. As the founders of Refuge Ministries and Deeper Life Press, they minister around the world—offering books, media, and conferences that help believers encounter the manifest presence of God. Together, they carry a heart for revival, restoration, and making room for the Holy Spirit to move.
While they minister side by side in many areas, Steve also serves as the writer behind Morning Glory Devotions—a daily devotional ministry focused on helping hungry hearts hear the whisper of God’s voice. Steve’s prayer is that each day the devotion would carry a healing anointing, especially for those walking through pain, failure, or brokenness. His tender, Spirit-led writings draw readers into sacred moments of reflection, healing, and deeper communion with Christ. Each devotion carries the fragrance of intimacy and the fire of deeper life truths, written to stir spiritual hunger and awaken first love.
The Porters make their home near Rochester, New York, and their greatest joy is to simply love Jesus—and to help others fall in love with Him, too. They have two adult daughters and two grandchildren with one on the way!
