Nobody Special 047 | Dating Side Hugged Me Goodbye

Ep. 47

Who would but by boys of Nobody Special would talk about dating without having necessarily gone on many dates. Caleb and Danny, that's who! This week we look at dating and what it means to date. With the recent denouncing of his previous book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, Joshua Harris has demonstrated a profound humility and dedication to follow and obey God, even at his own personal expense. The boys of Nobody Special look at what was good and bad about the book and how we can put God first in our relationships. Seriously too, props to Joshua Harris on being committed to biblical integrity and being willing to admit his mistakes.


Then we take a letter from one of our listeners (Classic Joni...) who wants to know whether he should date a girl who has a nose ring. While we hope we were helpful, the conversation kind of got away from us.


Other topics include Revelation 14, the Angels straight flexin' on the Devil, and briefly discussing the Church of Satan suing Netflix for giving them a bad name. Yep. You read that right.

And the last state of that person is worse than the first.” (Luke 11:24-26, ESV)We want to hear from you! How do you feel about Halloween and all the Halloween specials? What stood out to you?

  • Danny Talks About Ep//005 Squid Games

    30:31|
    Netflix Original Survival Drama Squid Games is quickly becoming the top show on Netflix. For all the violence and language it paints a picture of humanity and who we become when the pressure is on. As a Christian, we experience trials that demonstrate and refine our faith. How will we act in the face of selfish decisions and what would we do if we were in the Squid Games.“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (‭‭James‬ ‭1:2-4‬ ‭ESV‬‬)We want to hear from you! Have you seen Squid Game?

  • 173. Nobody Special 173 | Does Prayer Change God's Mind?

    55:22||Ep. 173
    Caleb and Danny answer a question from a listener! We talk about whether God’s mind is changed by prayer and if not, then why should we pray. Prayer is integral to the life of the believer but many of us seem to think that prayer dictates what God does. Find out more on this week’s episode of Nobody Special. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” (Matthew 6:5-13, ESV)We want to hear from you! What do you think prayer impacts in the life of the believer?

  • 172. Nobody Special 172 | Wars, Rumors, and The Matrix

    59:10||Ep. 172
    The Matrix dropped their trailer today. It seems to be about a world where no one can tell what is real or not and everyone just wants to feel better. So, nothing like today really. Also Danny and Caleb talk about Afghanistan and how this probably is not the end of the world. As we look for eternity, we need to anticipate the coming of the end but not worry about it. “As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:3-14, ESV)We want to hear from you!

  • 171. Nobody Special 171 | Happy Little Greedy Idols

    57:54||Ep. 171
    Netflix has a new documentary all about the business dealings of Bob Ross and Bob Ross industries. It tells the story of a man who just liked to paint. In the end, it turned in to this business empire with the image of Bob Ross being wrestled from the family. The pursuit of money can lead to a great number of sins and lead a person away from God as we pursuit this idol of status and wealth.But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. (1 Timothy 6:6-10, ESV)We want to hear from you! How do you feel about Bob Ross or the pursuit of money? Ask us questions or just say hi!

  • 170. Nobody Special 170 | What If...

    01:05:19||Ep. 170
    What if on this episode Danny and Caleb talked about Marvel's What If... And What If they also talked about Spider Man... And what if they also discussed the Emergent Church who had a propensity of asking What If... Biblical Authority and the foundation being built on Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of faith is important to our spiritual well being. Join Danny and Caleb as they talk about the impact of moving past doubt to questioning and abandoning truth all together. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22, ESV)We want to hear from you! Ask us questions or just say hi!

  • Danny Talks About Ep//004 Spiritualizing The Vaccine

    37:59|
    In short, don’t spiritualize the the vaccine. Honestly, its infuriated and a problem on both sides of the aisle. Everyone seems to be either thinking the vaccine is our savior (its not) or the mark of the beast (also not). More than that, everyone seems to be driving the rift between members of the body of Christ further and further. On this episode of Danny Talks About, Danny looks at both sides of the argument and what we need to let go of in order to come together and maintain the bond of unity together. I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.(Ephesians 4:1-7, ESV)We want to hear from you! What are your thoughts on the vaccine? We want your feedback.

  • 169. Nobody Special 169 | Purity Culture

    01:00:11||Ep. 169
    In today’s culture, we see many ex-evangelicals who seem to be deconstructing their faith. Many of them bring up this supposed idea of Purity Culture and how it harmed people. But let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. As Christians, we are called to pursue purity within ourselves and with one another while also extending grace to those of us, including ourselves, who have made mistakes in the process. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.(1 Thessalonians 4:3-7, ESV)We want to hear from you! Where have you seen the effects of purity culture? What needs to go and what needs to stay? Ask us questions or just say hi! If you want to reach out to Nobody Special, go to Nobody Special and fill out a form at the bottom of the page.
