Above the Noise

Josh and Teresa walk through Hebrews 12:1–3 and what it means to run the race of faith with endurance. They discuss laying aside the things that weigh us down, resisting comparison, and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus through every hardship and season of life.

Josh and Teresa continue through Philippians 4, discussing how what we dwell on shapes our lives, how God’s Word helps redirect our thoughts, and what it means to find true contentment in Christ. They also unpack the context of “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” and the strength Christ provides through every circumstance.

WVU wrestler Michael Baldwin joins Above the Noise to share how wrestling, FCA, and his relationship with Christ have shaped his life. From making his faith his own to setting goals that scare him, Michael talks about perseverance, gratitude, leadership, and giving God the glory in both the big victories and everyday work. Plus, a look at Jacob’s wrestling match in Genesis 32 and the powerful reminder: when life gets hard, don’t let go.

WVU women’s soccer captain Abby Olexa joins Above the Noise to share how her faith has transformed her life on and off the field. Abby talks about finding her identity beyond athletics, growing from anxiety and fear into leadership, and learning to surrender control to God. Through Philippians 4, the conversation explores gratitude, guarding our minds, and fixing our focus on Christ.

Worry, anxiety, difficult relationships, pressure—where do we turn when life feels heavy?

In this episode of Above the Noise, Josh and Teresa continue through Philippians 4 and unpack Paul’s practical answer: pray about everything, give thanks, and bring your requests to God. When we surrender our worries to Him, God promises a peace that the world simply cannot give.

But Paul doesn’t stop there. He challenges us to consider what we’re allowing our minds to dwell on. What is true? Honorable? Pure? Lovely? Praiseworthy? Just as an athlete’s focus can affect performance, what we continually fix our minds on shapes the direction of our lives.

When worry comes, pray. When the world feels chaotic, dwell on what is true. And when you need peace, run to the One who gives it.

What does it look like to stand firm in Christ when life is hard, relationships are strained, or God’s Word reveals that we’re the ones who need correction?

In this episode of Above the Noise, Josh and Teresa continue through Philippians 4, discussing Paul’s call to stand firm, pursue unity, rejoice in every season, and remain focused on the gospel. They talk about being spiritually coachable, taking responsibility when we get off course, and allowing God’s Word to teach, correct, and train us.

Whether you’re walking through a season of abundance or a season of difficulty, Christ is still sovereign, faithful, and worthy of our worship. The challenge is simple: Are we willing to be coached by His Word and get back on the path when we’ve wandered?

Your address may be on earth, but your citizenship is in heaven. Join Josh and Teresa as they discuss identity, surrender, standing firm in faith, and why the gospel changes us from the inside out.

Paul reminds us that the Christian life isn't about perfection—it's about perseverance. In Philippians 3, we explore what it means to leave the past behind, press toward Christ, disciple others, and keep our eyes fixed on our heavenly prize. 

Can success ever truly satisfy? In this solo episode, Teresa walks through Philippians 3, exploring why Paul counted every earthly achievement as loss compared to knowing Christ—and why the greatest prize in life isn't what we accomplish, but Who we follow.

Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. Josh and Teresa continue their study through Philippians 2, exploring the examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus and discovering the joy of faithful friendships, discipleship, and serving Christ together.
