Noah interviews Michelle Sanchez on what color courageous discipleship looks like. Michelle does a great job of tactfully leading listeners (and readers of her books) into the truths of antiracism, but in a way that is approachable. Her focus is on the overall discipleship of every Christian and how important that being color courageous is a part of that.
Michelle's books:
Color-Courageous Discipleship: Follow Jesus, Dismantle Racism, and Build Beloved Community
Color-Courageous Discipleship Student Edition: Follow Jesus, Dismantle Racism, and Build Beloved Community
God's Beloved Community: A Picture Book
You can find more from Michelle at www.colorcourageous.com and www.facebook.com/colorcourageous
Michelle is passionate to see disciples be transformed as they transform the world. She serves as Executive Minister of Make and Deepen Disciples for the Evangelical Covenant Church. She has also served on the advisory board of the Institute for Bible reading, ministered to international students with Cru in New York City, and engaged in three global gatherings of the Lausanne Movement. Michelle earned an M.Div. and Th.M. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, completed spiritual direction training at Boston College, and studied the life and times of Jesus at Jerusalem University College. After majoring in international business at NYU, she worked as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs. A regular columnist with Outreach Magazine, Michelle and her family live in the greater Chicago area.

Noah interviews Pastor Laura Tarro, who is planting Bethany Covenant Church in St. Charles, Illinois. Noah and Laura were in a 6-month church planting cohort together with their denomination, the Evangelical Covenant Church. Church planting is rigorous and full of challenges. Laura talks through some of the additional, unique challenges she has faced as a woman lead church planting pastor.
Laura is a 1997 graduate of Wheaton College with a B.A. in Art and Philosophy. She holds a Master of Arts in Religion from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. She is currently completing her Master of Divinity from Northern Seminary. The Tarros have been deeply involved in the life and leadership of their local church and in their community. They have two teenagers. In 2020, Laura began a two-year pastoral internship at Batavia Covenant Church in order to complete her supervised ministry requirement for her Master of Divinity. She is also the co-host of the Kingdom Roots Podcast with Scot McKnight. She became a licensed pastor with the Evangelical Covenant Church in 2021. She is planting Bethany Covenant Church in St. Charles, Illinois.

Noah interviews Ron Sandison, who is diagnosed with autism, about the importance of including people with autism and other disabilities fully into the life of the Church. Ron has tons of great insights into how to do this, making our lives and churches richer as a result.
Currently in the US only 5% of Christian families who have a child with autism attend church and only 3% of people with autism are gainfully employed.
Ron is the author of "The Parent's Guide to Autism," "Views from the Spectrum," and "Thought, Choice, Action."

Guest co-host Chase Stancle joins Noah to discuss "the sign gifts" of healing, tongues, prophecy, and miracles. The debate about these gifts has torn apart the church and left unbiblical teaching on both extremes. We wade through the confusion and abuses of an important but mysterious topic.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series with Pastor Jack and Becky's story that began in Episode 67 of the Flip Side. Please go back and listen to Episode 67 before listening to Episode 69.
In this episode, Noah interviews Pastor Jack and Becky Sytsema on being in a mixed orientation marriage where Becky is straight and Jack is not. Jack and Becky are church planters who planted Lake Effect Church in Grand Rapids, MI, where Jack serves as the senior pastor. Jack and Becky have been married 26 years. For the first 23 years of marriage, Jack desperately wanted to believe he was "ex-gay". Similar marriages often end in divorce. Listen to how Jack and Becky's marriage actually thrived, as well as the personal health Jack found by no longer hiding from his wife or his church. This is a rich conversation about Jack and Becky's story, about the covenant of marriage, and about how the Church needs to treat LGBTQ+ people.

Psalm 131
My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty;I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.2 But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.
3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.

Noah intros the topic of LGBTQ+ people and theology as a lead up to Pastor Jack Systema's testimony sermon. This sermon is Noah's top resource for helping understand a biblical view of sexuality and compassion for LGBTQ+ people. It's nuanced and doesn't fit into the prescribed categories of the current theological debates (Jesus wasn't good at fitting into prescribed categories either...).
In our next Flip Side episode, Noah will be interviewing Jack and his wife Becky. You can email your questions to podcast@beyondthebattle.net.
Jack Sytsema is lead pastor at Lake Effect Church in Grand Rapids, MI. As a native of Grand Rapids it would be easy to think he didn’t venture far from home. But he’s lived in California, where he graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary; Colorado Springs, where he interned and eventually became Dean of Wagner Leadership Institute; Melbourne, FL where he was CFO of a large medical practice and non-profit for individuals with developmental disabilities. God eventually brought him back to West Michigan where he and his wife, Becky, planted Lake Effect Church in 2016. Jack and Becky have been married for 25 years and live with their three sons in Zeeland, Michigan.
