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 242 -- Watch Your Mouth! James 3:1-12 Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Lions and killer whales have shown to be easier to train than the tongue. We talk about James' advice to choose words wisely when choosing to speak--or text, tweet or post--and perhaps be ready to ask if it's wise to do so at all. March 8, 2022Bill Cox, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper, Earl Lloyd

Podcast 241 -- Faith vs. Works Galatians 2:15-16, 19-21, 3:3-9, James 2:14-26 Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

Point/Counterpoint! We interweave scripture from Galatians and James to create a spirited debate between Paul and James over the role human action might have, if any, on personal salvation--always a touchy subject, especially in Evangelical churches. We attempt to find the common ground between two passionate church founders. February 22, 2022Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu

Podcast 240 -- "A Muslim Walks Into a Church..." James 2:1-13 Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

Sunday school tend to pigeonhole this passage into another "be kind to the poor" lesson, but read correctly, it calls out the human inclination toward bias, prejudice, judging by appearance and general social stratification. These traits were already pervading the church of James' time and he ardently decries them sinful. Do we still take our conscious and unconscious biases us into church? Check your privilege at the door for this provocative discussion.February 15, 2022Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Michael Cropper

Podcast 239 -- Quick Hits from the Book of James James 1:19-27 Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

We wade into a stream-of-conscious passage in the letter of James that hits as many as six points in nine verses. We spend time on the difference between destructive anger and righteous anger, as well as ways Christians can properly express the emotion. We talk about putting words into action and the virtues of listening over talking (as podcasters this does not escape our sense of irony). Robert explains why he avoided seeing "The Blair Witch Project."February 8, 2022Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper

Podcast 238 -- Don't Tempt Me! James 1:13-18 Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

What is the difference between temptation and a test? We hash out the similarities and differences, James says temptation does not come from God, but what about so-called trials? While God tests individuals in the Bible, should we regard every difficulty we face "a trial from God?" Sunday school sayings notwithstanding, how do we as Christian men, even as we prize our own strength and resourcefulness, truly lean on God through dark times?

Podcast 237 -- "I Broke My Leg and I'm Supposed to Be Joyous?" James 1:1-12 Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

We begin a study of the Letter of James, believed to be one of the earliest of New Testament writings, and certainly among the most practical in terms of Christian living. We begin with the idea of finding joy through perseverance amid trials and hardship. The fellows do some intense sharing of experience as they talk about "active patience" and "suffering with a tranquil mind."Recorded January 19, 2022Bill Cox, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper

Podcast 236 -- Samson and Delilah Judges 16 Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

In our second podcast on Samson, we turn to one of the most popular stories in the Bible, Samson's ill-fated affair with Delilah. But how well are the particulars of this tale really explored, and what conclusions does it force us to make? Was Delilah really a temptress, or just a loyal Philistine subject? How much was the famed Israelite strongman responsible for his own come-down. Join us as continue our "revisionist" look at Samson.January 18, 2022Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper

Podcast 235 -- Samson the Hebrew Playboy -- Judges 13:1-7, 14, 15:1-5,14-17 Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

In the first of two podcasts on Samson, we look at why it's so difficult to fit this Herculean figure into a Sunday school box. He seems to serve God more through his flaws and disobedience then through faithful purpose. Is he a hero, an anti-hero, or just a spoiled brat intimidating enough to get his own way? Are we too rough on the big guy? Listen, comment and share!January 11, 2022Bill Cox. Steve Titch. Robert Cocheu. Michael Cropper, Earl Lloyd

Throwback Podcast -- No Ordinary Joe -- Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:1-6, Matthew 2:13-15,19-23 Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

While we take our Christmas/New Year's break, we've re-posted our Christmas 2020 podcast, in which we look at Joseph, one of the most important figures in the Christmas story yet one who rarely gets any attention. God delegates the care and protection of Mary and the child Jesus to Joseph, who remains humble and obedient to the Lord, while decisive and purposeful in accomplishing the difficult and stressful tasks he faces.

Podcast 234 -- Christmas 2021 -- Did Someone Say Road Trip? Matthew 2:1-12 Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

For our annual Christmas podcast, we look at the journey of the Magi, an expedition of faith that has captured the imagination of Christians and non-Christians alike since the nativity story has been told. Who were the Magi? What motivated them to pack up and travel as far as a thousand miles to investigate an astrological portent that was only peripheral to their own religious and national background? Along the way we discuss comets, planetary conjunctions and various other astronomical phenomena, and contrast the open-minded curiosity of foreign non-believers with the cynicism and indifference of the ruling religious and political elite.December 21, 2021Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper
