Coles Above the Noise: Living with Kingdom Clarity in an Age of Distraction at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Jesus invites us to rise above the noise—but most don’t realize how deeply the noise has already shaped us.
We live in a world of constant voices—political, digital, cultural—competing for our attention and our allegiance. In this environment, reaction replaces reflection, trends replace truth, and certainty is often mistaken for faithfulness. Many Christians feel the pressure to take sides, speak quickly, and prove where they stand. But underneath it all is a deeper question: Are we being formed by the world we’re reacting to?
If you’re feeling exhausted, conflicted, or unsure how to navigate today’s cultural tensions, you’re not alone. Above the Noise offers a compelling vision for Kingdom-first living that moves beyond reaction and into discernment. Drawing from Scripture and years of pastoral leadership in a diverse, multi-generational church navigating cultural division in real time, Scott Venable helps readers see clearly, live faithfully, and resist being shaped by the very noise they’re trying to escape.
Above the Noise will help you:
Identify the cultural narratives quietly shaping your beliefs
Break free from performative faith—whether through what you do or what you say
Develop convictions that are both rooted in truth and marked by love
Resist false binaries without losing moral clarity
Cultivate rhythms and community that form you more than culture does
Engage the world without being discipled by it
This book is not a call to withdraw from culture. Or to shout louder. But to live from a higher perspective within it.
With clarity, wisdom, and pastoral depth, Scott invites readers to recover discernment, embrace complexity without compromise, and live as a non-anxious, Kingdom-centered presence in a reactive world.
We don’t have to be shaped by outrage, urgency, or division. There is another way— and it begins above the noise.
