Nobody Special: The Podcast

Nobody Special 015: Four Ways To Keep on Sinning

Everyone panic! There is a solar eclipse coming up.  Is it a sign of impending doom and judgment or just a reason that people use to consume alcohol midday.  Caleb and Danny talk about the struggles of temptation and sin and consider the different ways to get out of sin.  Or, we talk about how to stay in it.  

Also, Game of Thrones is very popular right now, but neither of us are watching it so instead we give our various theories on how Westeros connects with the Marvel Cinematic University.  Is Tyrion Lannister a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy?  We are not sure, we only saw half the movie.

Follow Part 3: Through The Storm

White water rafting guides always seem crazy when you first meet them.  I mean no offense by that either.  Their dress and appearance are those who are looking for an exciting thrilling adventure, all without sleeves and sometimes without shoes.  For a guy like me who doesn’t frequently go down white water rafting, this can…

Follow Part 2: Take Up Your Cross

I never have an answer to the question “What is your 10 year plan.”  I do have directions and things I am interested in doing, but a 10 year plan, I don’t have a mapped out plan of “success” as it were.  Usually these are plans to survive and thrive financially and secure yourself in…
