No Compromise Radio is a ministry dedicated to the ongoing proclamation of Jesus Christ, even Him crucified (1 Cor 2:1), His exclusive and saving gospel, and His inerrant Word. Our theme verse is Galatians 2:5 where the apostle Paul said “But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.”

| 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.

| 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.

| 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.

- The Decree of God (3/18/2020) - A.W. Pink plainly describes God’s decree as “His purpose or determination with respect to future things.” The Westminster Shorter Catechism is slightly more expansive saying; “The decrees of God are His eternal purpose according to the counsel of His will, whereby, for His own glory, He hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass.” The most incredible [...]

- The Lord’s Table (8/28/2017) - As we come to the Lord’s table, who should partake in communion? The Bible gives 2 stipulations. The answer…wait for it…only those who are first reconciled to God(believers) and also reconciled to others. But we need to answer from the Bible “Why?” As NoCo listeners and readers I am sure this question had already crossed [...]
