February 20, 2021 Ep. 44: Satisfying our unending appetite of insecurity with the unending love of our Father
Noah opens up about his own insecurities and brings the Flip Side back around to how to tap into the love of our Father to satisfy our deepest longings. These longings manifest themselves in our sexual brokenness and desires, as well as more subtle things like our unending longing for more social media follows, likes, and statistics. Noah talks about his recent struggles as an author in these areas and focuses the episode around the reminders he, and listeners, need to hear regularly from God's spirit about how we are His beloved sons and daughters. His love is the only thing that can satisfy these cravings, but it's something we have to continue feeding on over and over again.

February 04, 2021 Ep. 43: Interview with Laurie Krieg on what a mixed-orientation marriage can teach us about love and the gospel
Noah interviews Laurie Krieg about her new book An Impossible Marriage: What Our Mixed-Orientation Marriage Has Taught Us About Love and the Gospel, that she co-wrote with her husband Matt. The book and interview are a transparent and vulnerable walk through topics like homosexuality, sexual abuse, pornography, shame, and more... all leading to the gospel. Not the Sunday School answer "gospel," but the deep, gritty love of Jesus that fills us up in a way that no sexual partner ever could. This will be an encouragement to all married couples and all singles.

Laurie Krieg is a writer, speaker, and ministry leader whose mission is to teach the Church how to approach sexuality with the gospel.

January 17, 2021 Ep. 41: Interview with Wesley Hill on Covenant Friendships as a Biblical Path of Love for Celibate Gay Christians
After wrapping up the Flip Side Book Club's reading of Spiritual Friendship, Noah interviews author Wes Hill on the book's subject of providing a path of love for celibate gay Christians. A path that still follows the Bible's command for sex to be within the marriage of a man and a woman. The interview talks through the different labels of "same sex attracted," "gay Christian," and "gay celibate Christian," the theological question of original sin as it relates to same sex attraction, but is primarily focused on helping celibate gay / same sex attracted Christians have hope and in helping the Church create community for them.

November 18, 2020 Ep. 38: Jesus' Love for the Outcast & how this Grace Transforms Each of Us
Episode 38 takes us to a recent sermon Noah did on Luke 7:36-50, where a "sinful woman" anoints Jesus' feet with her hair and tears. This interruption of an elite dinner party led a Pharisee, Jesus, and this woman to have to each make a crucial choice. Their choices are choices that each of us face as well. As our nation attempts to recover from a divisive election, this message brings clarity to what ushering in God's Kingdom looks like in the here and now.

New www.beyondthebattle.net groups are forming now! Join today for 7 weeks of growing closer to Jesus and finding freedom from sexual sin, discontentment, and temptation.

October 24, 2020 Ep. 37: Jesus bringing great calm to great chaos + new Flip Side book club exploring gay celibate partnerships with Wesley Hill
Noah introduces the next Flip Side Book Club book, Spiritual Friendship by Wesley Hill. Pick up your copy today and sign up to be a part of the book club here. Spiritual Friendship explores gay celibate friendships or partnerships of Christians who are committed to a high view of Scripture and God's design for sex and marriage to be for a man and a woman. The book club will be a place we can respectfully wrestle with, debate, and converse with Wesley's thought-provoking and challenging ideas. It's more than okay to disagree and give challenges as we sharpen each other in our understanding. Noah will be interviewing Wesley on the podcast in January and book club members will be welcomed to send in their questions for Wesley to answer.

Also of note is Noah's long awaited blog post: Is Masturbation a Sin?

The topic of this episode is based around a sermon Noah preached recently on Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-39. In a chaotic season of COVID-19, racism, and a divisive election, let this passage of Scripture bring peace to these chaotic waters and the daily pain of living in a fallen world.
