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.

Show notes

We begin our 13-week study of The Ten Commandments. We look at how they reveal God’s character and they stand in direct opposition to the morality of modern times.

Podcast 118 -- 2 Samuel 24 1.3 Million Fighting Men, But Who’s Counting? Aug 22, 2019

Show notes

David takes a census of his army. Why does this anger God to the degree he sends plague that kills 70,000 Israelites? In this final lesson in 2 Samuel, we look at the consequences of big decisions made big men. We also take some time to review the narrative of David’s life and whether his reign actually modeled God’s design for kingship. Panel includes Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"), Mike Cropper (“The Judge”) and Bill (“Didn’t-I-say-no-appointments-on-Wednesday”) Cox. Steve Titch ("The Gambler") hosts.

Podcast 117 – 2 Samuel 20 Someone’s Always Gotta Stir the Pot Aug 15, 2019

Show notes

We discover a biblical example of how to deal with a toxic personality and a wise woman “man’s up” and does what’s necessary to avert a costly siege. We also talk about the two sides of Joab, David’s loyal general, who takes immediate, bloody action in one case, but judiciously listens and resolves conflict in another. Guts spill and heads roll in this week’s podcast. With us: Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"), Steve Titch ("The Gambler") and Mike Cropper (“The Judge”). Bill Cox (“The Director”) hosts.

Podcast 116 – 2 Samuel 16 “Absalom, Absalom!” Aug 08, 2019

Show notes

Matters reach a climax as David faces a tragic dilemma: survival of his son or survival of his kingdom. Although we sympathize with David, we look at how he was the author of his own pain. Also, why is Joab traditionally considered the villain of this piece? He just saw 20,000 men die and faced a choice to either indulge a monarch’s wishful thinking or do what was necessary to end a civil war. We think he “manned up.” What do you think? Listen, like and comment. With us this week: Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”) Steve Titch ("The Gambler") and Mike Cropper (“The Judge). Bill Cox (“The Director”) hosts.

Podcast 115 -- 2 Samuel 16 David’s Walk of Shame Aug 01, 2019

Show notes

We find and aging David at his lowest point, facing lies and curses from figures from his past as he flees Jerusalem. Meanwhile Absalom, his rebellious son, takes his father’s concubines before the entire city. We find contemporary parallels as David finally confronts the consequences from years of passivity and inaction.

Podcast 114 -- 2 Samuel 15:1-30 A Power Vacuum in Zion Jul 25, 2019

Show notes

David, at his lowest point, is forced to flee Jerusalem as his son Absalom moves against him. Our panel looks at David’s dysfunctional household and dangers that face leaders when they fail to confront mistakes and choose indecision and isolation instead. Along the way, we manage to weave in everything from office politics to Shakespeare to Disney.

Podcast 113 – 2 Samuel 13:1-33 The Elephant in the (Throne) Room Jul 18, 2019

Show notes

Consequences from David’s adultery with Bathsheba continue, as Amnon, David’s eldest son, follows Dad’s example and rapes his half-sister Tamar. David does nothing to acknowledge the crime, remaining passive while Absalom, Tamar’s brother, allows his anger to fester. Our panel discusses how fathers inevitably model behavior, good or bad, for their children. We also address the hard task of discipline, even when we ourselves are flawed, and when the price might be a fractured relationship. Podcast panel is Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"). Kyle Trahan ("The Deacon"), Steve Titch ("The Gambler") and Mike Cropper (“The Judge). Bill Cox (“The Director”) hosts. Visit us at www.man-upspiritualoasis.com.

Podcast 112 – Special Edition: Banned From Facebook Jul 13, 2019

Show notes

Facebook’s algorithms blocked the link to Podcast 111, claiming it violated “community standards.” Our host Bill Cox (“The Director”) and Steve Titch (“The Gambler”) react with equal parts of bemusement and concern in this special podcast. While it seems unbelievable that a group of regular guys reading and discussing the Bible raises flags at Facebook, at the same time, it’s not so incredible given the current climate. Download and listen as we review the goals of the podcast and discuss the importance of physical and virtual spaces where men can talk freely about their faith.Find us on iTunes, Twitter and YouTube and at www.man-upspiritualoasis.com.

Podcast 111 -- 2 Samuel 12:1-23 "You Are The Man!" God Convicts David Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

The prophet Nathan confronts David over his adultery with Bathsheba and murder of Uriah. David repents and receives God’s forgiveness, but can’t avoid the consequences. Our panel wonders if David’s repentance was incomplete – was writing the heartfelt Psalm 51 enough, or should he have done more to take ownership of the damage his sin caused? And how tough was it for Nathan to speak truth to power? Panel consists of: Michael Cropper, Attorney ("The Judge"), Robert Cocheu, Trainer ("The Professor"), Steve Titch, Writer ("The Gambler"), Kyle Trahan Insurance ("The Deacon") and Bill Cox, Salesman ("The Director"). Recorded at Man Up Adult Bible Fellowship, Sugar Land Baptist Church, Sugar Land, Texas, USA iTunes, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. man-upspiritualoasis.com

Podcast 110 2 Samuel 11 – David and Bathsheba Jun 27, 2019

Show notes

No church answers and we mean it in this podcast! We peel back the layers in this story of lust, adultery, dishonesty, cover-up and murder. We look at David, Bathsheba, Uriah, Joab, even the messenger and sort out their roles in the drama. Not only to we discuss the dangers of yielding to lust, but we also explore why David, a man at the height of his power, success and fame, does something so blatantly self-destructive. Was it more than just boredom that drove him to such careless indulgence? Is there a lesson here for men—and the church that minsters to them--about facing the inevitable decline of one’s youthful strength, creativity and effectiveness? Mature content. Our regular panel discusses: Michael Cropper, Attorney ("The Judge"), Robert Cocheu, Trainer ("The Professor"), Steve Titch, Writer ("The Gambler"), Kyle Trahan Insurance ("The Deacon") and Bill Cox, Salesman ("The Director").
