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 196 -- Philippians 3:17-21 In the World but Not of the World Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

If our "citizenship is in heaven," as Paul says, what are our responsibilities on Earth? One of the difficulties of being a Christian is that sooner or later, your values will come into conflict with those of secular society. Yet at the same time, we are a religion of reconciliation and transformation. In a time where American Christians are all too ready to engage in fighting, is there a better way to bring truth to a fallen world? We also tackle another set of hypothetical scenarios that call for choices as to whether to conform to the worldly values or resist them.

Podcast 195 -- Philippians 3:12-16 Set Your Spiritual Goals Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

Professionally and personally, men set goals and measure themselves by how well they meet them. But what about spiritually? What are your goals for a mature life in the Christian faith? Better still, what *should* those goals be? (Hint: it's not trying to follow all the rules.) As Paul exhorts us to "press on," we discuss these questions and others. Mike talks about running the good race. Robert suggests applying the SMART approach to setting faith objectives.

Podcast 194 -- Philippians 3:1-11 Balance Sheet of the Soul Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

Paul considered everything he had counted as profit before encountering Christ as "rubbish" (a family-friendly translation from the Koine Greek)when measured against the "power of the resurrection." It's a hard teaching for American Christians, but Paul forces us to always question the value of material gain and to be ready to give it all up to follow Christ. In a lively discussion, the fellows debate how much the Lord asks of believers, to what degree, if any, there is virtue in wealth, and if the Gospel of Prosperity is heretical or just another interpretation of scripture.

Podcast 193 -- Servant Leadership Philippians 2:19-30 Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

We discuss Christian management and mentoring as we look at how Paul delegated ministry work to Timothy and Philippian messenger Epaphroditus. We look at how Paul's heartfelt endorsement of Timothy set up his protoge for success, and how Paul bolstered Epaphroditus, who, because he fell ill on his mission, may have been subject to backbiting by church peers as having failed his task. Finally, what can we learn about "servant leadership," a juxtaposition of seemingly opposite terms, and its application can quietly witness for Christianity in a secular workplace.

Podcast 192 -- Ingmar Bergman Christianity Philippians 2:12-18 Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

Paul's instruction to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" has widely different meanings across different faith traditions. Is it call to cower before God or kneel in awe? Podcasting through an historic cold wave, we fearlessly dive in to the process of sanctification, submission and discipleship and how they fit into joyful Christian living.

Podcast 191 -- Philippians 2:5-11 It's Hard To Be Humble Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

Most men, including us, find Paul's command to imitate Christ's humility one of the most difficult to follow. Can a Christian afford to choose humility when their teachers, bosses and social influencers place so little value on it? Our discussion explores the tension between assertiveness and humility and we hash out some real-world scenarios in a game of "It's Hard To Be Humble."

Podcast 190 -- Philippians 2:1-4 A Church In Full Accord, Really? Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

What Paul exhorted churches to remain "in one mind," it seems divisions have been the norm since the beginning. We discuss what is meant by being of "one mind" (it doesn't mean marching in lockstep)and look at reasons churches split, from doctrine to poor people skills, and the Christ-like traits that Paul says foster unity amid disagreement.

Podcast 189 -- The When and How of Standing Firm Philippians 1:27-30 Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

Paul calls on the Philippians to stand firm for the Gospel, yet let their manner be worthy of the its message of grace and love. We talk about correct ways Christians can stand united against opponents, whether they are inside or outside the church community. We even stir the pot a bit with a discussion about those who brought the Christian flag to the Capitol Building riot.

Podcast 188 -- Philippians 1:20-26 The Cheerful Subject of Death Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

Paul admitted to weighing the choice between living confined in prison or choosing death and a glorious afterlife with the Lord. That's our jumping off point for a discussion about suicide, suffering and end-of-life experiences with friends and relatives. As Christians, we believe we will enter the presence of God after we die. How much of a rush should be in to get there?

Podcast 187 -- Challenge Adversity Philippians 1:12-19 Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

In jail, away from friends, his missionary plans thwarted, Paul still chose to rejoice. Paul didn't just passively accept his situation; he challenged it on his own terms to make it work for the Gospel. We talk about how faith not only helps carry men through hard times, but actually transforms adversity into Kingdom work.
