No Church Answers! — Religion & Spirituality
No Church Answers!

The No Church Answers! podcast began as Man Up a Spiritual Oasis for Men in 2017, launched by Bill Cox, actor and DJ, and four regulars, Steven Titch, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper and Earl Lloyd–all from different Christian backgrounds. Our focus is on ways men could use their Christian faith to drive their goals, leadership and action. We feel the faith muscle needs regular exercise. The body is like a barrel. The outside is your education, money and health. The inside is your faith and soul. We bring different points of view to a scripture lesson and hash them out in a panel discussion. We strive for authenticity in representing what Christian men are thinking.

Contact us at www.nochurchanswers.com. We’re not pastors, just regular guys. Engaging, deep and often humorous looks at faith in today’s world by our panel.

Podcast 287 -- The Foolishness of the Cross 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

For our Holy Week podcast we look at the miracle of Cross of Christ. Why is the cross so central to Christian faith? Why do Christians put faith in an incarnate God who came not to rule humanity but to willingly surrender to a humiliating death at the hands of earthly powers? And why, above all, was all this necessary? The panel discusses the admittedly baffling mystery of the crucifixion and the personal transformations that came with their encounters with the Cross.

Podcast 286 -- Does God Call Audibles? Jeremiah 29:11; 1 Samuel 8:4-21 Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

When it comes to classic church answers, "It's God's will" arguably ranks at the top. Yet throughout the Bible, there are examples of God's willingness to change his plan. While God may have a perfect divine will, he also seems to have an acceptable or permissive will. Can we negotiate with God? What degree of agency do we have as citizens of his Kingdom? And, even as we strive to do his will, how do we discern it? It makes for an interesting conversation as the panel talks about ways they've realized God's role on keeping them on the right path, amid both doubt and outright challenge.

Throwback Podcast -- Prayer: A Never Ending Shopping List? Romans 8:26-27 Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

The fellows look at prayer from perspectives that range from Richard J. Foster to Lulu Roman. Prayer might be the primary means of accessing the Holy Spirit, yet most of us find it difficult.

Show notes

With Peter's encouragement to the early church as a background, the panel talks about the importance of taking service and leadership roles in their churches. Bill talks about starting the Man Up men's discipleship ministry that led directly to this podcast. Mike, a one-time bass guitarist, talks about moving from music ministry to Bible study. We also talk about our often uneven paths to Christian service. Steve tells why he won't do any church work that requires regular committee meetings.

Podcast 284 -- Living Each Day As If It Were the Last 1 Peter 4:1-11 Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

Peter thought the Second Coming was imminent. But even if, as Jesus said, no one knows the day or the hour, it doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared for judgment. Peter writes that we be "alert and of sober mind." That means discerning the most important ways of spending what time we have. Hint: it's not judging others.

Podcast 283 -- Ministry of Suffering or Cult of Victimhood? 1 Peter 4:13-19 Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

Suffering in life is inevitable; the founders of the Church knew that. They may have been the first to understand that suffering does not define us as victims, but that the Holy Spirit can transform our suffering into Christian witness, particularly by giving us the strength to be survivors. We talk about ways to deal with suffering that avoids old school stoic repression of pain and newer trends that embrace indulgence.

Podcast 282 -- Modern Family 1 Peter 3:1-7 Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

Happy Valentines Day! Are there divinely ordained roles in marriage, or have we just slapped a doctrinal label on mythologized notions of men's and women's "work?" What does "submission" mean when it's the wife, not the husband, who is chief earner? Does a Christian have a responsibility to bring a non-Christian spouse to the Lord? What can the Bible tell us about navigating contemporary realities of divorce and remarriage, blended families and same sex relationships?
