Bad Sheppard's

In this candid episode of Church of the Lost Sheep, Noah and Heidi examine the biblical account of King Joash and the dangers of relying on religious authority without developing a personal relationship with God. Drawing from 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, they discuss spiritual leadership, church culture, accountability, legalism, gossip, manipulation, and the responsibility of believers to seek God for themselves rather than following men blindly. The conversation includes personal testimony about past church experiences, lessons learned through ministry, the importance of humility, repentance, and discernment, and a warning against domineering leadership that can hinder spiritual growth.

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.
