Nobody Special

Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning and their podcast Ear Biscuits talked about their spiritual deconstruction journey and Danny and Caleb talk about how we can uphold those doubting their faith and respond to others doubting. Rhett and Link did not appear on this podcast but boy oh boy would Danny and Caleb want them too with an open invite to do so. But we want to be sure and treat the honesty and openness of Rhett and Link with the utmost respect. They have been highly influential for both Danny and Caleb. Even so, we felt the need to respond to their episodes. Find out where we stand on what they said. “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” (Hebrews 11:1-3‭‭, ESV)Then we talk about what a Christian can do to maintain their faith during the midst of dou

Happy Valentine’s Day! Singleness is a gift from God. So is marriage. And there is room in the church for both to glorify God as one big happy family on this week’s episode of Nobody Special. The boys of Nobody Special tackle the subject of singleness in the church and all the blessings that come from it and the opportunities to serve the Lord in different ways. Then we look at the gift of marriage and how this too can provide different opportunities to serve the Lord and raise a generation of children. “To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”‭‭ (1 Corinthians 7:8-9, ESV)Then we look at what it means to love God. How do we pursue God with not only our brain but also to pursue God with a romance and affection. If God is our first love, how do we love God with not just our brains but our heart as well. All this and more on this week’s

The makers of Sonic The Hedgehog can take correction and so can we. Also, we talk about whether people should be immediately labeled a heretic or shown grace. Caleb and Danny are back for episode 101. We look forward to the Sonic the Hedgehog moving coming out February 14th and how the studio was willing to take correction and discipline. We need to support this movie to encourage others to receive feedback and receive it well. Also, Danny and Caleb look at how they receive correction and discipline and how we should view it when it comes from God. “It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed

Caleb and Danny celebrate their 100th episode by talking about the cheeriest topic ever; the Corona Virus. Happy 100th episode everyone! The boys of Nobody Special look at their past achievements and failures which we take as badges of honor. To whoever gave us the dislike on YouTube, thanks for the honor of having pushed us to arrive on the internet. Then, we talk about the Corona Virus going around the world and whether this should be seen as a sign of the end of days or one of the horses of the apocalypse. We look at how the Christian should face the coming problems of the world and who we should look to. “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to ta

Caleb is working with polar bears so Danny invited Andrew Steier, friend and youth pastor at Switzerland Community Church to talk about mascots, Super Bowl commercials and discipleship and evangelism. On this week’s episode, Danny invites Andrew Steier to come talk about the various goings on of the world. First we talk about how NHL mascot Gritty is in hot legal trouble for punching a child in the back. Then we talk about how beloved Mr. Peanut has died in a very macabre car crash. More updates are coming but we suspect Gritty was involved. Then we talk about the process of discipleship and evangelism and how both are needed for a healthy spiritual life to bloom. The metrics for children and youth ministry may be off, but the urgency to activate students for their faith is now as we seek to teach, train, and disciple people to reach the people in their context. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how

God can use anything to bring about His glory and do a work in you, even chicken nuggets and a broken car. On this week's episode, Caleb and Danny talk about their recent trip to the movies and 1917. Which spirals down rabbit holes and lands on the different parts of the body of Christ needing one another. Then we talk about Danny's recent automotive difficulties and needing to have faith during times of difficulty. Trial is a time for faith instead of a time to give up. God is shaping us into someone. “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:26-28, ESVIf you want to write a question or just say hi, be sure

Caleb and Danny talk about the passing of Danny's dog Izze and how coping with death from a Christian perspective looks. The Golden Globes were this past weekend and Ricky Gervais came out swinging. While he certain was offensive with what he was saying, he definitely took some much needed jabs at the culture. While the fallout has been extreme, it only proves the point that he was making. Then, we share the news of the passing of Danny's dog Izze. We talk about the story of coping, how we choose to focus on the joy and blessing during difficult times instead of getting bogged down in the depressing. Also, we talk about mourning with other people and how we sometimes our presence is more important than trying to fix the problem.

On this episode, Caleb and Danny discuss going on an adventure and how to not bludgeon a person theologically. There is something about going on an adventure for Caleb and Danny that speaks to the inner part of the soul. Christianity is about finding the adventure and being a part of something greater than ourselves. Then we talk about how to have a discussion and disagreement with one another without immediately jumping to the heretic label. We need to take time to listen to each other and treat one another as brother and sister in Christ. Also we talk about Star Wars, Rise of Skywalker and Fallen Order. If you want to write a question or just say hi, be sure to reach out to us at http://www.thegospeloutpost.com/nobodyspecial and check out our Instagram and Facebook at NobodySpecialPodcast.

Caleb and Danny discuss the recent politicizing of the nativity and look at how we should act as Christians as we face the issue of immigration in the United States. This Advent season people see the nativity at almost every church you face. What you don't expect, though, is for these scenes to be politicized. But a church in California chooses to defy the expectations and use the nativity for their personal political qualms. We look into the idea of whether Jesus was a refugee or whether this even occurs within the Nativity story. Also, we look at the issues of the immigration conversation and how we should respond as Christians. Ultimately, we agree that we should be willing to listen more to one another and increase the dialogue as we discuss complex topics. Advent is a time for Hope and this message of God taking on flesh does not need to be politicized to say something it isn't saying. To check out Danny's series on hope, be sure and go to The Advent of HopeIf you want to write a question or just sa

On this episode, we take a letter from a listener about whether the Zodiac and horoscopes are compatible with Christianity and whether we should purge our previous social media life. Danny and Caleb talk about the upcoming movies and and utterly excited or ambivalent they are about them. We talk about Mulan, Black Widow, Dragon Prince Season 3 and Fuller House season whatever. Then we respond to Kristina who had some amazing questions about how to incorporate her past life in her Christian story. First, we want to applaud you Kristina for being willing to bring your feelings under the authority of scripture. Then we dig into the three main issues of her question (1) Zodiac Spiritual Problems (2) The Limits of Personality Tests (3) Should We Delete our Previous Posts before ChristWant to know what the John Piper quote was about the Zodiac? When a Christian peeks at his horoscope, he is treating Jesus the same way a husband treats a wife when he peeks at Playboy to provide the titillation he no longer

Disney+ brings back nostalgia in the good way and The Mandalorian provides a picture of Christ-like compassion.

Also we talk about compassion and what roles it plays in our daily faith. If you want to write a question or just say hi, be sure to reach out to us at http://www.thegospeloutpost.com/nobodyspecial and check out our Instagram and Facebook at NobodySpecialPodcast.The Gospel Outpost Presents Nobody Special.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Another Christian is caught in public sin exposed over the internet. But how should we as Christians respond to this news and how does it affect us? Most people by now have heard the news of John Crist and, like most stories, the outrage machine is turning. Yet, rather than jumping aboard, looking to “cancel” someone or condemn a person, we have to first see how Jesus would react in these cases. Then, we look at the story of the woman caught in adultery as she is dragged out to the public sphere for condemnation. Jesus speaks to the crowd and tells them to cast the first stone if they are without sin. Finally, we take a brief look at the world of Christian journalism and ask what the priorities are between Christian and journalist. If you want to write a question or just say hi, be sure to reach out to us at http://www.thegospeloutpost.com/nobodyspecial and check out our Instagram and Facebook at NobodySpecialPodcast.The Gospel Outpost Presents Nobody Special.  See acast.com

Also we talk about the terms “ministry” and “missionary” and how we should view these things in relationship to our calling. Then, we look at the new game The Outerworlds and how it provides a safe place to think about ethics and learn about ourselves (same with Fallout games, Skyrim, and various others).

The halloween season is upon us and we discuss what the church can do in this season and how we can be justified by faith.Danny and Caleb are gone and instead we have Ripley from Alien and Mario from Mario. We discuss what the church can and should do during this Halloween season to take it from the dead and give it to the Savior who brings the dead to life. Honestly, the community coming to our doors is a cultural opportunity to share the Gospel. They are coming to our door. Go out and be the church IN the community.Then we answer a question from Matthew H. who wants to know about justification and the context that Jesus talks about it. And no conversation about justification would be complete without mentioning Romans and Galatians. We are justified by faith.

Caleb has finally stopped being sick so we answer questions about when Christians should get into politics and how far is too far...Wow, we missed a busy week. From Fortnite being turned off to Kanye being a Christian that the reformed people accept, we decided to take off the biggest week we have seen in a while. Also we talk about the stories of Caleb being sick and the fever dreams that Caleb had in the process. Then, we answer some letters from listeners! John S writes in asking whether Christians should be actively involved in politics or not.Ultimately, our allegiance should be to Christ and Christ alone.
