Caleb is back and Danny couldn’t be happier. On this week of Nobody Special, we look at the events of Good Friday and discuss what makes this such a crucial event for the history of the world. Grace by definition is highly unmerited and why we struggle with this as a concept. Also, we discuss how the disciples routinely missed the obvious statements of Jesus declaring that Jesus would die for their sins. Honestly, these guys….
The Christian should view themselves as a theologian and biblical authority simply because, as Christians, we represent God Almighty to the world, whether we do so rightly or falsely. Therefore, we should delve deeply into the word of God as those called to reach the people in our home, our community, and the world. As we worship the Lord in spirit and truth, we cannot forget to carry the truth as a torch that guides our path. Studying the truth of God’s word brings the head and heart into alignment with one another in full worship and devotion to God. We need depth of thought, the richness of solid theology, and the profound impact that comes from a greater understanding of the knowledge of God hand throughout creation.

After Jesus’ encounter with John the Baptist, people were quickly drawn to Jesus Christ. The testimony of John the Baptist preparing the hearts of the people to receive the Messiah had been received and now people came seeking out the Messiah. During this time, Jesus drew the first of who would be called His twelve disciples. John’s presentation of the Gospel gives a fast paced escalation of the events of Christ’s ministry. Once the word began to get out, things developed rather quickly as those would come to Christ would be transformed and renewed by experiencing the teachings and presence of God.
Of all the Spiritual Disciplines, prayer is one more frequently understood by people yet one of the ones we fail to do regularly. Either we overcomplicate prayer to be formulaic, ritualistic, and stiff as we miss the organic connectivity with God. Or we underestimate the power of a prayer filled life and the ability of God to hear and respond to our prayers. In short, prayer is talking to God as Lord and Savior. We boldly bring our concerns, praises, and vulnerable before the High King of Heaven. Prayer is coming before the Lord bringing who we are and seeking His will and presence in our lives while shaping who we are to be more like Him.

This week Caleb and Danny take a letter from Classic Joni (Claaaaaaasssic Joni). He asks our thoughts on the Enneagram. This personality test has become popular in Christian circles over the past few years and we look at the role these thing play in our day to day lives. Furthermore, we look at who gets to define us and what it means to be defined by Jesus Christ. Also, we discuss the Spiritual Gifts and how we have a tendency to group ourselves according to our gifting when we should be coming together. Identity is something that we should allow Jesus Christ to define us, not our own thoughts or the thoughts of any particular personality test.
