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 223 -- Future of the Church: Cultural Issues Matt 5:13-14, Rom 12:2, 2 Cor 4:1-2 Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

In the first of two "flamethrower" podcasts, the panel discusses (and argues about) ways the global church must face the changing realities of today's world. Specifically, we look at cultural pressures of socio-economic inequality, consumerism and sexual ethics. Accommodation, resistance or something in between? What roadmap does the Bible offer in navigating these issues? What must we, as church members, do to overcome division and polarization?

Podcast 222 -- You Can't Take it With You, So What Do You Leave Behind? 2 Chronicles 9:13-31 Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

In our final scripture study of Solomon, we contrast the brevity of the account of Solomon's death to the lengthy catalogue of the accoutrements of his wealth that precedes it. This checkered "obituary" leads to some thoughts about building a Christian legacy: how we hope to be remembered and what we hope to leave behind when we die.

Podcast 221 -- Keep Your Eye on the Ball 1 Kings 11:1-13 Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Solomon didn't, and as a result, his kingdom splintered. If a leader as wise and faithful as Solomon could allow himself to be distracted by pagan gods and idols, what hope do we ordinary guys have? Solomon's vulnerability was hundreds of wives and concubines plus staggering wealth, a test of God's own warning to Israel's future kings in Deuteronomy 17:17. What weaknesses threaten to take our attention off God and how can we fight them?

Podcast 220 -- What Do You Give the Woman Who Has Everything? 2 Chronicles 9:1-12 Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

At the height of Solomon's reign, the Queen of Sheba visits him in search of answers to "hard questions," presumably about God. We don't know the content of that conversation, but that does not stop us from speculating about it, and discussing how we should answer the "hard questions" put to us by those seeking to know more about Jesus Christ.

Men Matter: Faith and Risk Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

Men are natural risktakers. How does Christian faith align with evaluating risk and reward? When does risk become a leap of faith? In this Men Matter segment, Robert Cocheu ("The Professor") and Steve Titch look at Biblical examples of risk-taking ("The Gambler") as they discuss questions of risk, probability and faith. They apply them to current decisions about COVID vaccinations and masking, as well general decisions in everyday life, including the times when we should be prepared to go "all in" for God.

Podcast 219 -- Finding God in an Empty Parking Lot 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 Aug 31, 2021

Show notes

Solomon's Temple has been consecrated; sacrifices have been offered and received; the fanfare has died down and everyone's gone home. In the stillness of the evening, God speaks to Solomon, making the same conditional offer he made to the king's ancestors--love me, obey me and turn from sin and I will remain with you. Forsake me and you will be forsaken. There is hope, but also grim foreshadowing of Judah's downfall. We look at what this ancient passage means for us in modern times. We talk about the challenges Solomon faced: "affluenza" of inherited wealth, affairs of state and hundreds of wives and concubines and of office. Which is the greater danger our relationship with God, disobedience or distraction?

Podcast 218 -- When God Lights the Fire In Your Belly 2 Chronicles 6:12-17, 36-42, 7:1-3 Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

Men's groups at church can be a pilot light for the fire of the Holy Spirit. We talk about ways men in the congregation can step up and offer men spiritual enrichment beyond property repair projects and family activities. In short, there's a place in church for men that extends beyond their wife and children.

Podcast 217 -- Be a Pillar of Your Church 2 Chronicles 3:1-17 Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

The author of 2 Chronicles describes the size and strength of the the pillars of Solomon's Temple, but today, when the Church is the People of Christ themselves, who are its pillars? We discuss what "being a pillar" actually means and ways Christian men can step up and take leadership roles in their church and their community.

Podcast 216 -- The Art of the Deal 2 Chronicles 2:1-12 Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

The economic alliance between Solomon and King Hirim of Tyre is a jumping off point for a discussion about how Christians should approach business negotiations. Solomon provides an interesting example of wisdom, shrewdness and fairness, but when does shrewdness become exploitation? In the competitive bustle of the marketplace, how do we balance humility with assertion of rightful value of our talents and the fruit of our labor? And what about business associations with non-believers? Hirim did not worship the God of David and Solomon, yet his contribution was instrumental in construction of the Temple, Should we be ready to work alongside non-Christians in service of Christ's mission?

Podcast 215 -- Don't Care Who Gets the Credit 2 Chronicles 1:1-13 Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

Solomon prays for wisdom as he prepares to begin building the temple. In our discussion, we look at the necessity of wisdom for effective leadership and the degree to which wisdom is expressed in conviction and action.
