In this powerful testimony episode, Noah and Heidi share their journey through trials, loss, uncertainty, and the refining process that tested every foundation they once trusted. From losing homes, businesses, possessions, and security to witnessing God’s faithfulness through impossible circumstances, this conversation explores how genuine faith is forged in the fire—not through comfort, but through complete dependence on Jesus Christ.

The Good Touch

Song of Solomon, Porneia, and Christian Marriage In this episode, Noah examines Song of Solomon as a celebration of covenant marriage rather than an allegory for romanticized spirituality. He argues that the book openly celebrates desire, attraction, and physical affection between husband and wife while repeatedly emphasizing faithfulness and waiting for marriage. The discussion also explores the Greek word porneia (sexual immorality). While many modern teachers use it as a catch-all term for anything they personally dislike, Noah notes that Scripture primarily associates porneia with adultery, fornication, prostitution, incest, bestiality, and other unlawful sexual relationships like homosexuality. He points out that the Bible never provides a list of body parts that are “off limits” to a married spouse, but quite the opposite. Referencing Song of Solomon, Proverbs 5:18-19, 1 Corinthians 7:3-5, and Hebrews 13:4, Noah argues that the marriage bed is to be kept pure from outside influences, but that Scripture celebrates mutual affection, desire, and intimacy within the marriage covenant. The episode challenges legalistic teachings that impose extra-biblical rules on Christian marriages and encourages believers to examine what Scripture actually says rather than relying on tradition alone.

The Carrot Holocaust

This is an urgent call for repentance! I use a specific bad Pastor from our personal walk who blew it, who fell asleep on the job and now the ultimate consequence will be required of the sheep. We can learn from good pastors what to do, and bad from what not to do. The wise in heart can glean from both, look at this cautionary tale and understand an enigma.
