    Refuting Self-Righteousness

    In this episode of No Co Radio, Pastor Mike introduces a new "Variety Show" format designed to be fast-moving and segment-based. The episode explores the depths of Christian living and doctrine, beginning with a study of the “Lord's Prayer” as a comprehensive template that prioritizes God's glory over human needs. He critiques the "Be the Message" movement, arguing that believers should proclaim the gospel rather than attempting to "be" it, as human imperfection can never substitute for the perfect work of Christ. The discussion also covers the dangers of self-righteousness, the theological distinctions between Protestant "accounting" and Roman Catholic "making" in justification, and a recommendation for A.W. Pink’s “The Attributes of God”. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/K6MXSkZaZh0 Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions)

    The Singular Decree

    In this episode Pastor Mike discusses the theological concept of the divine decree, exploring its nature as God’s eternal and singular purpose for all of history. He uses this session to explain that God’s decree is singular, free from external influence, wise, effectual, and all-encompassing. Drawing from the Westminster Shorter Catechism and his new book, “The Chosen”, he argues that understanding God as a sovereign King means recognizing that nothing—from the death of Jesus to the fall of a sparrow—occurs outside of His predetermined plan. Ultimately, he concludes that this doctrine should not cause frustration but should instead lead believers to a place of humility, trust, and worship.

    Eyes On Jesus

    In this episode of No Compromise Radio, Pastor Mike explores the biblical narrative of Mary and Martha from Luke 10:38–42 to provide a framework for healthy Christian ministry. Addressing pastors and laypeople alike, Mike warns that losing focus on Jesus leads to "ministry burnout," resentment, and a "pity party" mentality. He contrasts Martha’s "distracted" service with Mary’s "good portion"—the countercultural act of sitting at the Lord's feet as a disciple. By linking this passage to the Great Commandments, the episode argues that while service is necessary, the primary "means of grace" must be prioritized to sustain a life of faith and prevent ministerial frustration.

    Cross, Crook, Crown

    Pastor Mike introduces Psalm 23 as a source of comfort for the living rather than a text for the dead, offering three keys to view the scripture in "Technicolor”. These keys include identifying the theological center as God's presence ("for you are with me"), placing the chapter canonically as the Great Shepherd's present care between the cross of Psalm 22 and the crown of Psalm 24, and recognizing the text contains no commands, serving strictly as a resting place of privilege and gospel provision.

    Praying: Father First

    This episode of No-Co is dedicated to helping listeners with their prayer life by discussing the prayer Jesus taught His disciples, often called the “Lord's Prayer”, as recorded in Luke chapter 11. He analyzes the structure of the prayer, emphasizing the overarching theme of addressing God as Father and breaking the requests into two vertical prayers (magnifying God: "Hallowed be your name," "Your kingdom come") and three horizontal requests (for the believers: daily bread, forgiveness of sins, and deliverance from temptation).

    Marriage Blunders

    Pastor Mike discusses common marriage blunders (mistakes) based on his experience, including recent premarital counseling. He prefaces the advice by acknowledging his own imperfections after 36 years of marriage and emphasizing that marriage reflects Christ and the Church. He outlines and explains several key mistakes, such as viewing differences as negative, adopting a "you have a problem" syndrome instead of "we have a problem," arguing while tired, withholding forgiveness, chronic complaining, using intimacy as a weapon, and trying to change one's spouse. Mike stresses the importance of forgiveness as a reflection of God's grace and warns against bitterness and chronic complaining as major destroyers of a good marriage.

    God\'s Sanctifying Work

    Pastor Mike argues against the common misconception that sanctification is primarily the believer's effort (synergistic). Instead, he asserts the technical and proper definition is that sanctification is fundamentally the monergistic work of God's free grace, as the sanctifier, through the Holy Spirit. Mike distinguishes between positional sanctification (set apart at justification) and progressive/practical sanctification (the subsequent process of holy living, dying to sin, and living to righteousness). He emphasizes that a Christian's response to God's work is first by faith—believing they are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ (union with Christ) before yielding the fruit of obedience.

    An Introduction to Catechisms

    Pastor Mike focuses on the importance and benefit of using catechisms, creeds, and confessions as supplements to studying the Bible. He argues that these resources, such as systematic theology or a confession, help believers "get their arms around" the vast content of the 66 books of the Bible by providing concise summaries and instruction.While affirming that God's Word is the final, supreme authority (sola scriptura), he highlights how catechisms protect the church from "celebrity pastors" by establishing a shared, time-tested theological foundation, and provide a means for unity among different reformed groups (like the "three forms of unity": Dort, Heidelberg, and Belgic Confession).
