      • Telling People to be Holy Doesn't Lead to Holiness (Do we need another reformation?)

        On this episode, Noel talks about grace with his friend Elyse Fitzpatrick. They cover a lot of ground from the source of true strength in the Christian faith (spoiler alert: it's joy) to the steel-toed boot of sanctification. It's hard to explain this rambling conversation; you just have to listen to it.

        Here's a bunch of stuff they talked about:

        Front Porch with the Fitzes Podcast

        Elyse's book Give Them Grace

        Noel's book Wretched Saints

        1517

        Christ Hold Fast

      • Graceless Conversations About Race (when you don't know what to say but you say it anyway)

        On this episode, Noel talks with his friend Joel Muddamalle, the Director of Theology for Proverbs 31 Ministries about the touchy topic of race. They talk about how there is not enough grace in a lot of racial conversations, why there is a desperate need to lay down our tiredness and (justified) frustrations for the sake of unity in the body of Christ, and the pervasive shame that hitchhikes alongside good intentions.

        Here's links to some of the stuff they talked about:

        • Proverbs 31 Ministries
        • Transformation Church
        • Almost Indian Family Podcast
        • The Curious Christian by Barnabas Piper
        • 35 min
        • When Social Media Turns On You (Living Your Faith In The Spotlight)
          Riverview (the church where I serve as one of the pastors) has its roots at Michigan State University. Because of this, we get a steady stream of college students, including student athletes. This vantage point has given me the opportunity to watch first-hand as many of these young people ride the ups and downs of living in the sudden spotlight as Christians.
          In this episode, I sit down with Brian Lewerke, the quarterback for MSU's football team. We talk about football, how he handles the inevitable criticism of someone in his position, and living out a public faith when social media turns on you.

        • Saving a "doomed" marriage (and making it gloriously ordinary)

          Karen Ehman is a New York Times Bestselling author who was told her marriage was doomed before it even began. More than two decades later, God has transformed her marriage (to her husband Todd) into a gloriously ordinary marriage filled with arguments that stem from starkly different personalities, boring and humdrum days, and tons of Gospel opportunities. 

          In this episode, Noel sits down to talk with her about her new book Keep Showing Up, a refreshingly transparent and honest look at marriage born from the crucible of Scripture and experience.

        • You're a Wretch (and that's okay)

          This episode is a live recording of a Q&A Noel hosted for people who preordered his new book Wretched Saints. He talks about his writing process, why he wrote this particular book, and why people so desperately need to grapple with their own wretchedness to truly appreciate God's relentless grace.
