In this episode of Above the Noise, Josh and Teresa continue their study through Philippians 1, exploring how the apostle Paul found joy, purpose, and confidence—even while writing from prison. Rather than seeing his circumstances as a defeat, Paul recognized that God was using them to advance the Gospel.

Together, they unpack what it means to pursue what is excellent, redeem the time God has given us, and bear fruit that reflects Christ.

In this episode of Above the Noise, Josh and Teresa begin a new study through the book of Philippians, exploring one of the Bible's most encouraging letters. Written while the apostle Paul was imprisoned, Philippians reminds us that joy isn't found in perfect circumstances—it's found in knowing Christ and partnering together in His mission.

As they unpack the opening verses of Philippians 1, Josh and Teresa discuss what it means to live as servants of Christ, celebrate God's work in others, and experience the kind of Christian community that helps us grow in faith.

Whether you're in a season of waiting, serving, celebrating, or struggling, this conversation is a reminder that God is still at work—and He never abandons the work He begins.

In this episode of Above the Noise, Josh and Teresa dive into Ephesians 4, exploring what it looks like to live as a follower of Christ in a world that constantly pulls us in the opposite direction. Through Paul's words, they unpack the call to humility, patience, unity, and spiritual maturity, reminding listeners that Christianity isn't simply about believing the Gospel—it's about allowing the Gospel to transform every part of our lives.

Together they discuss why God often works through unexpected circumstances, how believers can put off their old way of living and embrace their new identity in Christ, and why unity within the body of Christ is more important than ever. They also share practical encouragement for resisting temptation, renewing our minds through God's Word, and refusing to give the enemy a foothold in our lives.

Whether you're navigating success, disappointment, or everyday struggles, this conversation will encourage you to keep walking faithfully, trusting that God is shaping you into the person He created you to be.

What if your greatest ministry wasn't in a church—but in the workplace?

In this spisode, Josh and Teresa welcome Parker Whiteman, a member of the WVU Football strength and conditioning staff, to discuss how God is using athletics to change lives far beyond wins and losses.

Parker shares his journey from small-town West Virginia to working with college football programs across the country before returning home to WVU. Along the way, he discovered that his greatest calling wasn't simply helping athletes become stronger—it was building relationships, asking meaningful questions, and pointing young men toward Christ.

Together, they discuss the unique spiritual opportunities within college athletics, the importance of authentic discipleship, and the incredible privilege of witnessing student-athletes publicly declare their faith through baptism. They also explore the urgency of ministry in today's transfer portal era, where every semester is an opportunity to make an eternal impact.

Whether you coach, teach, lead a business, parent your children, or simply want to live out your faith where God has placed you, this conversation is a reminder that you influence is one of God's greatest gifts.

In this episode, Josh and Teresa sit down with WVU Women's Soccer goalkeeper, Bailey Herfurth, to hear the remarkable story of how God transformed her faith.

After transferring from LSU to West Virginia, Bailey found more than a new soccer program—she found a community of believers who challenged her to move beyond simply "checking the box" of religion and into a genuine relationship with Jesus. She shares honestly about the pressures college athletes face, navigating peer influence, finding identity beyond performance, and learning to make Christ her true foundation.

Bailey also opens up about leaving home as a teenager to attend IMG Academy, the challenges of the transfer portal, and the role FCA has played in helping her build lasting friendships, develop spiritual disciplines, and grow in confidence as a follower of Christ.

Whether you're an athlete, parent, coach, or simply someone learning to trust God more deeply, Bailey's story is a powerful reminder that our identity is never found in success or performance—but in Christ alone.

In this episode, Josh and Teresa explore the practical wisdom off 1 Thessalonians 5 and what it means to faithfully follow Christ through seasons of transition. Whether you're graduating, starting a new job, heading into summer, or simply navigating change, God's call remains the same: live with character, encourage others, and keep your eyes fixed on Him.

In this episode, they discuss honoring leaders, building healthy team culture, encouraging the discouraged, helping the weak, refusing to repay evil for evil, and developing a life marked by joy, prayer, and gratitude. These timeless principles don't just apply to college athletes—they shape every believer's relationships at home, at work, in church, and in everyday life.

No matter your season, God desires to make you someone who brings hope, peace, and encouragement wherever He places you.
