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 faith 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.

Podcast 170 – Daniel 12:1-13 Eyes on the Eternal, Feet in the Everyday
September 10, 2020 02:42 - 59 minutes - 50.4 MBWe conclude our study of the Book of Daniel by mulling its promise of resurrection and eternal life and how it anticipates the later vision in the Book of Revelation. We also discuss the final words of the angel to Daniel: “Go your way till the end…” We take that as wise advice to focus on one’s faith journey and not worry too much about the specifics of the end times. Certainly, Daniel did not get all the answers, but we have reason to think that despite a life in exile, he ended his days sa...

September 03, 2020 02:21 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBAs we look more at Daniel's apocalyptic vision, we talk about how a prophesy can apply to different readers in different eras.

August 26, 2020 16:42 - 52 minutes - 49.6 MBThe final vision of Daniel begins with the appearance of two angels and the prophecy of a "great war."

Our panel broaches the topics of angels and demons and the reality of evil in this world.Man Up is now available on the Pray.com platform.

Podcast 167 -- Daniel 9:23-27 Rolling Sevens
August 20, 2020 02:31 - 54 minutes - 52.3 MBGet out your calculators. We dive into one of the more puzzling sections of the Bible: Daniel's prophesy of the "seventy sevens." We look at the symbolism as well as one theologian's 173,880-day countdown to the first Palm Sunday. But fun with numbers aside, is there an aspect to this prophesy more relevant to us in our time? Man Up is now available on the Pray.com platform. Find us there or on on SoundCloud, iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Visit us on the Web at w...

August 13, 2020 02:44 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBAfter almost 70 years in exile, Daniel offers a humble and deeply sorrowful prayer of confession and supplication to the Lord.

Plus, in our first Men Matter segment, host Bill Cox talks discusses addiction and recovery with John Cates, founder of Lifeway International. Man Up is now available on the Pray.com platform...
Podcast 165 – Daniel 8:1-27 Bad Moon Rising
August 06, 2020 02:11 - 1 hour - 50.3 MBIn a dream that leaves Daniel ill for several days, God reveals that in the future his faithful will endure oppression and destruction over an extended course of time—things will get worse before they get better. As Christians, we are supposed to be hopeful and positive, but how do we "Man Up" when it’s clear life will be difficult for an indefinite period? How do we accept realism without descending into pessimism and depression. Host Bill Cox (“The Director”) states bad times require men to...
Podcast 164 -- Daniel 7:1-28 What Type of Millennialist Are You?
July 30, 2020 02:02 - 1 hour - 49.4 MBOur study of the Book of Daniel turns to the prophet’s apocalyptic dream of dreadful beasts, the Ancient of Days upon a throne of judgment and the arrival of the messianic Son of Man. We try to see past the fantastical imagery to the basic meaning of the passage, and what responsibilities it places on us as Christians. On the panel: Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"), Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Kyle Trahan ("The Deacon") and Steve Titch ("The Gambler") Bill Cox (“The Director”) hosts. Visit us ...

July 23, 2020 02:29 - 59 minutes - 49.2 MBDaniel continues praying daily to God in defiance of Darius the Mede’s order, and is tossed to the lions, a sentence that seems to trouble Darius much more than Daniel. We talk about the pressure Christian men face—in the workplace and in their social circles—not simply to keep silent and tolerate, but to openly affirm cultural beliefs that run counter to their own or face loss of job, friends and reputation. Daniel is an honest, hard-working servant to his imperial masters, yet he retains hi...

July 16, 2020 03:31 - 58 minutes - 47.7 MBGod brings an abrupt and chilling end to Belshazzar’s blow-out party in the form of a disembodied hand that literally spells out doom for the Babylonian Empire.

On the panel: Michael Cropper (“The Judge”), Robert Cochefor iu (“The Professor”), Bill Cox (“The Director”), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”). Steve Titch ("The Gambler") hosts. Visit us at www.man-upspiritualoasis.c...
Podcast 161 – Daniel 4:1-37 The Madness of King Nebuchadnezzar
July 09, 2020 02:20 - 59 minutes - 47.6 MBPride goes before a fall. Just when the Babylonian king is feeling good about his dominion, his mind snaps, serving up a big lesson in hubris. Are men inclined toward self-aggrandizing? Does time and failure prompt greater reflection? On the other hand, do too many Christian men conflate humility with selling themselves short? God is the source of our gifts. What is the best way to employ our gifts to honor him? On the panel this week, Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Robert Cocheu (“The Profess...
Podcast 160 - Daniel 3:1-30 Where Do You Draw Your Line?
July 02, 2020 01:56 - 59 minutes - 43.1 MBDaniel’s three friends, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, choose the fiery furnace rather than bend the knee to a golden statue of Nebuchadnezzar.

Steve Titch (“The Gambler”) hosts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.co...
Podcast 159 -- Daniel 2:31-49 A Statue with Feet of Clay
June 25, 2020 02:08 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBDaniel reveals and interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, revealing who really is in charge of earth and heaven. We talk about Daniel’s boldness as well as the idea of not simply yielding control of our lives, but realizing we’re not in control to begin with. Bill Cox (“the Director”) is back with us and recounts his unenviable experience as a hospital patient during Covid-19. Robert Cocheu (“the Professor”), Michael Cropper (“the Judge”), and Kyle Trahan (“the Deacon”) round out the panel. Steve...
Podcast 158 -- Daniel 2:1:30 Babylonian Dreamer
June 18, 2020 02:40 - 1 hour - 17 MBNebuchadnezzar has a dream no one can interpret. What do we do when faced with an impossible task? We see what we can we learn from Daniel’s example.

June 11, 2020 03:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBWe start a study of the Book of Daniel with a lesson in how to stand up for one’s principles in a way that results in a win-win. How do we hold onto God when society rewards a secular path? With us: Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"), Michael Cropper ("The Judge"), Kyle Trahan ("The Deacon") and host Steve Titch ("The Gambler").

Podcast 156 -- Ecclesiates 1:1-11 Is Reality Broken?
June 04, 2020 02:13 - 59 minutes - 48 MB"Everything is meaningless," Solomon writes. Right now, with the world coming apart at the seams, where do we as Christians find meaning? We pause from our regular study series to look at what the Bible says about depressing times, and, in our "no church answers" tradition, consider gaming as one way to find structure in the world. With us: Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"), Michael Cropper ("The Judge"), Kyle Trahan ("The Deacon") and host Steve Titch ("The Gambler"). Cited in our discussion:...
Podcast 155 – Matthew 20:29-34 Jesus Offers a Blank Check
May 28, 2020 02:09 - 1 hour - 78.7 MB“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asks two blind men. Their answer can be taken several different ways, which might make it the most appropriate for anyone at any time or place. We also view this healing as another example of Jesus seeing past the pressing crowd and addressing those too easily ignored and marginalized. Our panel: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler”), Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”) and host Bill Cox (“The Director”). Visit us at www.man-upspiritual...
Matthew 17:24-27 Even God Pays Taxes*
May 21, 2020 02:11 - 1 hour - 85.3 MBWhat do Christians owe the government? Taxes? Respect? Obedience? Our panel turns its attention to Jesus’ instruction to pay the temple tax so as “not to give offense.” We correlate that with other parts of scripture that call for submission to earthly powers, but does that obligation change under modern democracy? Our panel, still submitting to government social distancing orders: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler), Robert Cocheu (“The Profes...
Podcast 153 Matthew 17:14-21 The Apostles Fail a Pop Quiz
May 14, 2020 01:51 - 1 hour - 84.2 MBIs faith strong enough to move mountains? A frustrated Jesus schools his disciples. Why the harsh tone? We talk about what “having faith” truly means. Is it simply believing God can do anything for you if you wish hard enough, or is there something deeper, more mature in committing to seeking the Kingdom? Our panel, frustrated by Covid-19 but responding in a Godly way: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler) and Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”) and host Bill Cox (“The Director”...
Podcast 152 -- Matthew 15:21-28 Even Dogs Get Crumbs
May 07, 2020 12:11 - 57 minutes - 75 MBWe explore a section of Matthew’s gospel where Jesus seems most unJesus-like, ignoring a woman seeking healing for her daughter and then apparently insulting her when she gets his attention. No polite Sunday School answers as we unpack these verses, finding virtue in being “persistently humble.” On our panel this week: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler) and Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”) and host Bill Cox (“The Director”). Visit us at www.man-upspiritualoasis.com. Find u...
Podcast 151 – Matthew 14:22-33 Get Outta the Boat!
April 30, 2020 02:06 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBWhich failure is worse: taking a risk and falling short or never taking a risk at all? Peter may not have been able to walk on water, but he did get out of the boat. We discuss this miracle and overcoming fear and rising to the challenge of Christian engagement. Also, we grade ourselves on how we’ve each handled social distancing and other restrictions of the Covid-19 lockdown. Panelists this week: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler) and Robert C...
Podcast 150 – Matthew 14:14-21 Lunch is Provided
April 23, 2020 02:32 - 1 hour - 85 MBIn our discussion of the miracle of loaves and fish, we consider the scale of feeding 5,000 men, plus uncounted women and children, and how look at how Jesus, in a way, allowed the crowd to participate in the miraculous. We discuss how physical needs are as important spiritual needs and how God meets both in abundance. With us in this week’s milestone podcast: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler) and Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”) and host Bill C...
Podcast 149 – Matthew 12:9-13 Is It Lawful to Podcast on the Sabbath?
April 16, 2020 02:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBJesus heals a paralytic on the Sabbath and the Pharisees' first reaction on witnessing this miracle is to debate whether the healing was in line with religious law. With the passage in mind, we talk about our various past experiences in farming, retailing, legal prep, training and news reporting that required each of us to work on Sundays. In a 24/7 world, even a social distanced one, how do we respect the Sabbath? We also talk about we spent our unique 2020 Easter. Podcasting now, resting la...
Podcast 148 -- Holy Week, Wholly Unusual (Plus Matthew 9:20-22)
April 09, 2020 02:06 - 59 minutes - 77.4 MBCovid-19 stay-at-home orders will mean Christians will hunker down inside this Easter, just like the apostles did on the very first Resurrection Sunday. Our group talks about how much of departure from tradition 2020 Holy Week and Easter will be for them personally. Our scripture study looks at Jesus’s healing of the hemorrhaging woman, and how God sees past social stigmas to the real value of each human life. Our virtual panel, virtually unstoppable: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Kyle Trahan (...
Podcast 147 -- Matthew 9:18-19,23-26 Power Over Death--Spiritual and Physical
April 02, 2020 02:42 - 1 hour - 82.7 MBJesus raises the deceased daughter of Jairus, a synagogue official. We look at Jairus’s faith and the way Jesus works in his own time. We also talk about how we’re trying to faithfully manage our professional lives as we stay socially distanced. Together but separate this week on our Zoom platform: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler) and Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”) and host Bill Cox (“The Director”).

Podcast 146 Matthew 8:23-27 The Perfect Storm
March 26, 2020 02:00 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBThe disciples, in a panic, wake Jesus during a storm on the Sea of Galilee. He quiets the tempest, but still rebukes his followers. Why? We apply the lessons of this miracle to the storm Covid-19 is wreaking in our lives. Also, we mark three years of podcasting by looking back at the personal storms each of us has weathered over the course of that time. In our gallery on Zoom: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”), Steve Titch (“The Gambler) and Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”...
Podcast 145 – Matthew 8:14-17 Even Mothers-in-Law Need Healing.
March 19, 2020 01:53 - 53 minutes - 70.5 MBMan Up goes virtual! In the spirit of social distancing we recorded our podcast via teleconference. We continue our look at Jesus’ healing miracles and juxtapose it with the current pandemic that is indeed touching everyone’s lives. We talk about the people we know who are afflicted with illness and disabilities and the ways they have responded. We try to get past the clichés of “the Lord will provide” and go deeper into what it means to hold onto faith in difficult times. Together but separa...
Podcast 144 Matthew 8:1-4 The Touch That Heals
March 12, 2020 01:58 - 59 minutes - 63 MBIn the middle of the coronavirus epidemic, the irony of discussing the story of Jesus healing the leper is not lost on us. What must the crowd have thought when Jesus touched someone who was, according to religious law, unclean? And aside from its lesson in compassion, how does this story stand as an allegory to our sinful condition? Also, host Bill Cox (“The Director”) introduces Man Up Media’s Men Matters program. On the panel: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”) and Robe...
Podcast 143 – Matthew 4:1-11 When Temptation Comes Your Way
March 05, 2020 03:07 - 56 minutes - 74.8 MBWe begin a new study series on the miracles of Jesus with an unusual choice—the temptation in the wilderness. Should this even be considered a miracle, considering that Jesus was, um, God, and pretty much knew all creation Lucifer was offering was his to begin with? Or, after 40 days of fasting, did Jesus require all his divine essence to resist? And what’s the difference between being tempted and being tested? And how can faith and scripture serve us as weapons as we face struggles in our ow...

February 27, 2020 03:32 - 45 minutes - 60.3 MBPaul wraps up his letter to the church at Colossae with “shout-outs” to friends and associates who have served, traveled and sustained him over the course of his missionary journeys through his imprisonment in Rome. This inspires use to talk about the figures who have brought us to Christ and shaped our Christians lives. Our panel: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”), Steve Titch ("The Gambler") and Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”). Bill Cox (“The Director”) hosts. Visit us ...

February 20, 2020 03:10 - 59 minutes - 78.4 MBWe look at Paul’s interesting mix of advice on prayer and approaching non-believers in the world. Do we underestimate the power of prayer? And what’s the best way to tell our stories of faith? Our panel: Mike Cropper (“The Judge”), Robert Cocheu (“The Professor”) Steve Titch ("The Gambler"). Bill Cox (“The Director”) hosts.

Podcast 140 – Colossians 3:18-4:1 Husbands, Love Your Wives (and Do the Dishes)
February 13, 2020 02:42 - 55 minutes - 73.2 MBMan Up marks Valentine’s Day by ambling into the scriptural minefield that is Paul’s call for wives to “submit” to their husbands. Fortunately we have help from our first-time woman guest, cancer surgeon Dr. Sandy Templeton, who adds her perspective on 21st century marriage roles for Christian men and women. Along with Colossians 3, we look at other writings of Paul and other parts of scripture (like Proverbs 31:10-31) that raise the question whether Christianity is as rigidly patriarchal as ...
