Noah Herrin preaches from Song of Songs chapter 1 about what it looks like to be a godly man. He argues that cultural messages devalue male leadership, but Scripture calls men to pursue Christlike character, protect sexual purity, provide for and value their families, and maintain a good reputation. Using Solomon's love songs, he extracts practical markers of godly masculinity: character, reputation, faithful affection for one wife, financial provision, and sexual purity. He closes with an invitation to repent, follow Jesus, and a public declaration for men to live out those commitments.
“With God's help, I will leverage my whole life for the good of others and for the glory of God. I will do hard things... I remember who I am. I am a man of God.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Prioritize Christlike character over appearance; your inner life will outlast external attractiveness. Men are called to protect sexual purity, be the primary providers/heads in ways that serve their household, and to visibly value their wives. Seek accountability, heed godly counsel, and make concrete habits (show up, work hard, respect authority, do what you say) to build reputation and provision.

How to be a Godly Woman | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Proverbs 31 about what it looks like to be a godly woman, reframing the chapter as a practical call to holiness and mission rather than an impossible checklist. He outlines several marks of a godly woman: holiness (built on Scripture, not feelings), capability (being useful for God's mission regardless of marital status), trustworthiness, godly friendships, speaking life over her husband, sexual faithfulness within marriage, modesty, and knowing her value comes from the cross.
What the Bible says about Homosexuality | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens a six-week series on sexuality by working through Paul’s instructions to the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians chapters 6-7. He argues that Scripture gives clear instruction about sex, marriage (one man, one woman), and gender, and that God’s design leads to human flourishing.
What the Bible says about Gender Roles | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Ephesians 5 about marriage, arguing that Scripture calls believers to both mutual submission to Christ and distinct, complementary roles in marriage. He warns that culture has given people a "watered down" view of Scripture and marriage, so he unpacks what Paul means when he tells wives to submit and husbands to love sacrificially.
