We’re just ordinary people who’ve encountered an extraordinary God (the one true God!). From time to time, we have some really cool conversations. So we decided to switch on some mics and make a podcast out of it! Unashamedly Christian, unapologetically unscripted (most times!). And we’re intentional about making Christian concepts both practical and visible in the life of the disciple. Our podcast isn’t intended to be a teaching platform. Instead, it’s a public dialogue designed to cause us (the hosts) and you (the listener) to be provoked with godly thoughts and inspired to walk closer with God. And also, to gain a practical perspective of the Christian faith lived out!Thanks for taking the time to check out this episode! We love to hear your voice in our convos, so do drop a comment to share your thoughts. If it helped you, then please share it with others too 😊Inquiries: info@reasontobehold.com‘Reason to Behold’ insta: @reasontobehold‘Tolu Talks’ insta: @tolutalksYoutube: @reasontobehold‘Reason to Behold’ Blog: https://reasontobehold.com/Podcast editing and producing: Huge thanks to Peter Fynn (insta @bkpaf) – patience and commitment in abundance!Music by FASSounds from Pixabay

In attendance the heavy hitters Mo and Pete hold down the fort with extra special guest Arnold Reasons.
Unsurprisingly this week’s episode was pretty much just Sorry not sorry with Arnold taking the hot seat and WWE style smacking everyone else with it!
We start off with Pete wanting to know between the 10 Commandments and the 600 further laws expanded on by Moses which was from God and which was from Man, 30 minutes later we reach consensus lol
Mo then wanting to know why Arnold felt justified in writing a book and contributing to what is already a plethora of information in society and more specifically in Christian society.
After the longest Sorry not Sorry we’ve ever had in furnace history we then go on to talk about curating friendships without being self serving and opportunistic but with a view to have quality influences only!

The Smash Bros were in full effect this week as Peter nursed his esophagus after doing who knows what.
Robert's Sorry Not Sorry question was around whether or not praying for a disabled person to be healed is ableist whilst Mo's was around how a Christian can find their God-given vocation.
Today's episode was inspired by wrestler Jeff Hardy's trials and tribulations with substance abuse which led into a conversation about how/when a person should step away from ministry if they are struggling with something.

Heavy hitters bringing the heat this week, with Rob slacking off like a slacker!
Mo kicks things off for Sorry not Sorry with a biblical case for Therapy and Peter addresses the Catholic view of Sex being exclusively for procreation.
We then go on to talk about Pete’s tech racism and how Apple overcame it by simply being so good they couldn’t be ignored!
Pete suggests this as a sufficient model for dealing with real racism in the world and presents the idea that we should strive to be so good at whatever it is we do, that we simply can’t be ignored. Mo had some reservations about this approach and its potential application to everyone and we have a good conversation about dealing with racism in general. For our hookups Pete suggests a couple books he’s loved recently; Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink https://g.co/kgs/Hvu4sJ and Can’t hurt me by David Goggins https://g.co/kgs/Hfn7s9 Mo Suggested a couple songs Awesome God by R Swift https://open.spotify.com/track/7oAnV2PAXpIy7fa87gvUsy?si=--gBWsPSSiWrIjVs3p3ALw and Kendrick Lama’s Mr Morale and the Big Steppers https://open.spotify.com/album/1atjqOZTCdrjxjMyCPZc2g and Rob who finally showed up near the end of the episode suggested checking out a podcast called Diary of a CEO have a listen here https://www.youtube.com/c/thediaryofaceo

Welcome all to another episode of the Blacksmith’s Furnace. We hope you’ve had a great week thus far.
This week the Rock and the Rockstar jump around a few topics in the absence of Mo. They kick things off trading questions for Sorry Not Sorry. Robert talks about some superstitions he has and whether or not Christians should have those? and Peter talks about what he considers sufficient pay for full time ministers based on the size of the congregation.
We then go on to talk about the tragic mass shooting in America, and while our hearts and prayers go out to the victims we couldn’t help but be frustrated by yet another instance of gun violence in a country that seemingly refuses to do anything significant about guns!
We touch on a few other topics in the process like if violent games can be blamed for some of this violence and Boris Johnson’s blatant disregard for the very laws he made and how there seems to be no real consequence for it before giving some hookups. For those hookups Robert suggested checking out a UK rap album called Alfie, have a listen here https://open.spotify.com/album/4sYX4LKEfgMA8ohABncGx8?si=WalcHk2EQDuZUoOq5c7sOg&utm_source=whatsapp and Peter suggested checking out an Instagram account called Robin Black mma have a watch of some of his hilarious breakdowns here https://www.instagram.com/robinblackmartialarts/

It the Heavy Hitters delivering the 1, 2 that’s knocked Robert out cold and into next week, hopefully.
Mo and Peter go one for one during Sorry not Sorry, Mo talked about his thoughts on the Church as a corporate organisation being financially “profitable” and Pete talked about the theory that Jesus was in himself, Father, Son and Holy Spirit at once.
We then go on to talk about the Jonny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation lawsuit and the traditional attitude towards men being the victims of abuse in relationships.

Welcome to the Furnace all!
This week we’re a full and overflowing furnace with the return of man lyk Mo and the lovely Dreya gracing us with her presence.
Of course Mo gets tossed in the hot seat but as you’ll find out it was Rob who gets burned by the end of the episode. Mo deals with questions about if black reality TV is good for the black community and how a married couple with finances combined deals with purchasing personal items that are only for one individual. Mo did counterstrike with a spicy scenario that you have to listen to to hear....
We then go on to talk about friendships and what they really mean and what should warrant ending a friendship. It all turns into a counselling session for Rob leaving him roasted by the end!
For our hookups, Peter suggested checking out an anime on Netflix called Ultraman, season two just dropped so check it out here https://g.co/kgs/ejGUaA, Dreya suggested checking out a real friendship recorded in the Bible, between Jonathan and David, open to 1 Samuel 18 and have a read.

Happy Easter all, and welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith’s Furnace with the Rock and the Rockstar holding down the fort while Man lyk Mo is out having a whole birthday week of celebrations and chilling.
Rob and Pete again go one for one during Sorry not Sorry discussing whether or not the pagan aspects of Easter need to be addressed in a church and if it is fair that Noah’s legacy in the Bible is significantly affected by the one recorded episode of his getting drunk?
We then go on to talk about the recent plans by the Tory government to send asylum seekers to Rwanda focussing on the fact for those seeking refuge they can’t quite be picky about what help they get, and Rob relates this to how Christians can sometimes be picky about what and how their prayers are answered by God.
For our Hookups Peter suggested checking out a short Anime series on Netflix, Kabeneri of the Iron Fortress, have a watch here https://g.co/kgs/p9ugLb and Rob suggested a couple of things, the first being a youtube channel called the Tortoise Whisperer, have a look at what has apparently got Rob thinking about owning a pet tortoise here https://youtube.com/c/TheTortoiseWhisperer and his second hookup was an Anime called Spy X Family you can check that out here https://www.crunchyroll.com/spy-x-family

It’s the Rock and the Rockstar, reporting for duty in this week’s episode of the Furnace. Moses is out on pre-birthday holiday with the fam, somewhere like Butlins, but we the dedicated remained to serve!
We go one for one in Sorry not Sorry with Pete attempting to give a biblical defence for Tithing and Rob attempting to justify consumption of secular entertainment like Comics and Anime that is based on Biblical Characters but is far from Biblical in its message.
We then go on to talk about what it means to be the best at a particular endeavour and whether or not you need to create something new or rise to the top of an existing hierarchy to truly be considered the greatest. This eventually leads to a conversation about death and its inevitability and what that should mean for that very pursuit
For our hookups Rob suggested a song by Dolly Parton called Jolene have a listen here https://open.spotify.com/track/0HtY7ILTZVSd4i44FuOrur?autoplay=true and Peter suggested checking out the latest Marvel series Moon Knight, check it out here https://www.disneyplus.com/series/moon-knight/4S3oOF1knocS?distributionPartner=google

Slapping you right in the eardrums with another episode of the Furnace, with your boys, Rob, Pete and Mo.
This week Mo kicks things off in the hot seat. He talks about why God didn’t just wipe the slate completely clean and start over with a new version of humanity during the flood of Noah, keeping a happy wife and how much is too much to spend on a non-essential item as a Christian.
We then of course go on to talk about the slap that was heard around the world, and discuss the infamous altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock. Suffice it to say things get a bit heated and Pete clearly doesn’t like a few people.
For our hookups, Mo suggested checking out the essentials list curated on spotify of Will Smith’s greatest songs, have a listen here https://open.spotify.com/track/6TFGUXmdBVux66s5BgEvd0?autoplay=true (there might be some explicit language)

Welcome all to another episode of the Blacksmith’s furnace, with all ya boys present and prepped to provide some nonsense.

We then go on to talk about the new dynamics, newly wed Robert and Dreya are facing with building friendships with other couples now they are a couple “officially” and if at all it is necessary to have couple friends as a married couple.

Welcome all to another episode of the Furnace. Full furnace this week with the return of Man lyk Mo who was greeted with a go in the hot seat. Mo kicked things off talking about how the current tribulation being faced by Ukrainian Christians doesn’t disprove theology that suggests a pre-millennial rapture. He went on to discuss how his service in ministry has changed after getting married and ended his turn with whether or not Lent is biblical. We then of course go on to talk about what’s happening in Ukraine and more specifically the racism being exhibited even by Ukrainians to ethnic minorities at these times. This led us to talk about racism in the UK and contrasted it against the racism against Jews which seems to have different after effects to that against Black people

Welcome to another episode of the The Blacksmith’s Furnace with the Rock and the Rockstar. No Mo today, as he takes a well deserved break but ya boys Rob and Pete hold down the fort and welcome you to a rather strange few discussions.

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith Furnace with your favourite armchair theologians Bobby, Pete and Mo!
Mo took his turn in the hot seat this week; He dealt with the metaphysical consequences of the fact that God spelt backwards is dog, which book in the old testament would have the least impact if removed and what the ramifications are of the fact that for the most part the church isn't currently living like the early church did where they are noted as having sold everything and shared all their belongings with each other.
We then went on to talk about the fact that the Brit awards have decided to give singular gender neutral awards where male and female artists are all placed in the same categories.

A super brief address from Pete wishing a good week and leaving you with some food for thought
Welcome all to another episode of the Blacksmith's furnace. Mo kicks things off in the hot seat this week. He deals with whether or not the Body of Christ is doing enough for widows and orphans in comparison to the focus the early church had on those groups and whether he would advise a person who is interested in faith to explore many faiths including Christianity and come to their own conclusions or if they should just come to faith in Christ.
We then go on to talk a little bit about the tragic accident that occurred during the production of Alec Baldwin's new movie that resulted in a woman being killed and an employee being injured. Rob pivots off this to discuss our thoughts on the old adage "it could have been worse" and whether that's a healthy way to deal with difficult situations.
For our hookups, Peter suggested checking out Key organisers that all for you to carry multiple keys in a minimalist organised way, he specifically recommends orbitkey key organisers you can find here https://www.orbitkey.eu/collections/key-organiser/products/orbitkey-2-0-leather?variant=45990252742

Hi all and welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace with your boys, Rob, Pete and Mo. We kick things off this week pondering, much to Rob's chagrin, why it's important everyone knows wrestling is fake.

We then go on to talk about how fatherhood has affected our understanding of God's love for us and if such effects can be enjoyed by men without children. Ultimately, we look at what it takes to grow in God and how our perception of the journeys of more mature Christians could either inspire or discourage us on our own personal faith walks.

Let me start out like this: WE HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU THIS WEEK!!!!
Welcome to not just another episode of the furnace! This week we are joined by an amazing author and theologian and Archaeologist. She's worked as a writer for many Christian books and contributed to the Voice translation of the Bible. You would have heard of her on the podcast when Pete suggested checking out one of her amazing books, Mary Magdalene never wore blue eye shadow and she so generously agreed to come hang out with us at the furnace. It was so much fun, and so inspiring and educational to have the absolutely lovely Amanda Hope Haley on this week's episode.
Being the most accomplished theologian to grace the pod she bravely took the hot seat and breezed through questions about why the bible was given in the first place in the manner in which it is and how to deal with textual criticism that comes from academia and that casts doubt on the validity and very authorship of the bible. We go on from there to talk about biblical interpretation, and how archaeological studies help supplement and inform our understanding of the context and times that God chose to structure his word in. One thing that most certainly sets Amanda apart from other scholars and academics is she leads with faith and that shines through in our conversation, in her work as an archaeologist and a writer and certainly in her books. We had so much fun and took so much from our time with Amanda and want to say an extremely big thanks to her and her family for her time and wisdom and experience.
For our hookups Mo suggested checking out the Voice bible translation which is actually the translation that Amanda contributed to, Peter being the heathen he is suggested checking out the very last in the Rurouni Kenshin movie that will be coming out in July 30th https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81313229 keep an eye out for it, and Amanda recommended a group of Bible study guides called At His Feet bible studies which are great exegetical guides that are designed to really help women with biblical learning check them out here https://www.athisfeetstudies.com/
Lastly do yourself a favour and check out Amanda's new book the Red Haired Archaeologist digs Israel she presents such an accessible and relatable experience of her work as a biblical archaeologist in Israel and in doing so also presents ideas that will really evolve and challenge your approach to biblical interpretation you can find it here https://redhairedarchaeologist.com/the-red-haired-archaeologist-digs-israel/ and you can find everything you need to know about Amanda and her other books on her website https://redhairedarchaeologist.com/ and while you're there follow her on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AmandaHopeHaley) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/redhairedarchaeologist/)

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening all and welcome to another edition of the Blacksmith's Furnace.
Following current long distance running champion Mo Farah, failing to qualify for the olympics, in this weeks episode, we talk about pursuing goals and passions and what it takes to take those pursuits to the next level. Considering Farah might not be able to compete at the very highest level due to age or other factors we ponder if it's still worth grinding and working as though you still are, just for the love of it.
Mo took a turn in the Hot Seat for Sorry not Sorry tackling why the Bible is comprised of the books therein and what makes for a good worship song.
For our Hookups,

The Rock and the Rockstar were joined by the absolutely lovely Dreya for this weeks episode of the furnace. She even took the hot seat this week and fielded a couple of interesting questions from the guys. Pete wanted to know how Christians can figure out what's going on if Denzel is right when he says, if you watch the news you'll be misinformed, if you don't you'll be uninformed. Rob wanted to know how Elisha was justified in having a bear maul the children that were mocking him and whether or not it was an abuse of power. We then go on to talk about Nepotism and how it affects our community especially looking at how we see certain communities "putting on their own" and hwo we maybe don't see that as much among the black community. We also talk about the current trend to fill certain "diversity" quotas and how we would feel about being given certain opportunities just because of the color of our skin.
For our hookups Peter suggested checking out a youtube channel ran by Jeff Su who has a bunch of videos with tips on productivity and productivity tools, check him out here https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffSu/about , Dreya shared a new devotional she's started on Youversion called It is Written, check it out here https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/15865 and Rob suggested checking out Alex Ferguson's biography Leading , have a read about one of the most successful football managers of all time here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leading-Lessons-leadership-legendary-Manchester/dp/147362164X/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=52880841066&dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw-qeFBhAsEiwA2G7Nl9oOphzxCRjVViICCJExWXE4vpOT4qCuGKR7uSyjOqaeaJkBY04JfxoCHi4QAvD_BwE&hvadid=259084628386&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006618&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=9720469875778571027&hvtargid=kwd-300089317560&hydadcr=18488_1772458&keywords=leading+alex+ferguson&qid=1621794848&sr=8-1 We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you don't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing.

Welcome back to another episode of the Blacksmith's furnace with Rob, Pete and Man lyk Mo. We kick things off with Mo in the hotseat. He provides a template on how to impress a lady virtually in under ten seconds and ponders if there's a biblical formula for the interpretation of dreams. We then go on to talk about our favourite characters, in fiction, and in the Bible and what we think makes a great character, and how those characters have influenced our lives. It was a fairly light hearted but fun conversation!

Heavy Hitters in the House this week, as Robert blesses us with his absence today choosing babes over bros like a true heathen. Mo and Peter jump in the deep end for Sorry not Sorry with Mo wondering how Pete would encourage new, and seasoned Christians to become more confident in hearing and knowing they've heard the voice of God and Peter firing back wondering about Christ saying that some of the disciples would not die before seeing his kingdom come and if this was the case if there are people alive who've lived for longer than 2000 years or if his kingdom had already come.
Following Sorry not Sorry we discuss what we think the christian response should be to newer gender identification trends, this mostly around Demi Lovato's recent coming out as non binary during the launch of her new podcast. We discuss if there is a biblical perspective on whether or not this can be considered sin and how we might relate to it. It did get a bit political to say the least.
For our hookups Peter suggested checking out the latest and final season of the Netflix Anime Castlevania, have a watch here https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80095241, and Mo suggested having a listen to a track by Cassidy called Da 4 Elements check it out here https://open.spotify.com/track/4KjM6S1BS6f8elzG6hZuLG?si=81e02e4d2cf74945

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith Furnace! On this week's episode Peter takes his turn in the hot seat dealing with what the Christian response to the conflict between Israel and Palestine should be and how to deal with former Christians who have renounced their faith.
We then go on to talk about how the church can help with friend zoning and how much they should get involved in romantic relationships of the members.

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace we're happy to have you!
It was a full furnace with all the boys and after Robert very nearly initiated a smash bros episode Peter spared your ears kicking off Sorry Not Sorry with a random hypothetical question on who would survive out of the furnace in a Hunger Games style event, and Mo wanted to know what the difference is , if any, between Theology and Doctrine. We then go on to talk about the relationship between the Law of the land and corrupt Church leadership and whether failing church leaders should be "covered" or if they should face the full extent of the wrath of the Law when they are found in sin and in crime! For our hookups Mo suggested checking out a Netflix show called Yasuke an anime about a black samurai, have a watch here https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80990863, Peter suggested checking out a different Netflix show called Jupiter's Legacy a show about the first generation of superheroes and their navigating passing the torch to the new generation. https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80244953 and Robert suggested a youtube show called Blue Therapy which is a show about ratchet couple's therapy, check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjZ_DAQDDYg

It's a full furnace in full effect this week and we have a fun fairly deep conversation about culture, tradition and what we are building for future generations in that regard. Peter took the hot seat but everyone contributed to questions about how one would summarise the entirety of the bible and the hardest things we've had to unlearn in our christian walks.
For our hookups Peter suggested checking out Michael B Jordan's latest movie, Without Remorse on Prime video, have a watch here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499097/ and Robert suggested an old but great album from Neyo called Red have a listen here https://open.spotify.com/album/1e5Uy0zFKpSCtuak8LQb8p?autoplay=true.

Peter thought it a good idea to leave the Smash Bros unsupervised and they did not disappoint!
For Sorry, Not Sorry, Robert asked Moses what sermon he would preach on Ezekiel 23:20 and Moses asked Robert how he would handle a girl asking him to beat her and spit in the mouth in the bedroom.
The conversation became a lot more serious when the duo discussed the fallout of the Derek Chauvin trial and what a Christian response to him should be.
For Hook Ups, Moses recommend the Meek Mill song, What's Free (https://open.spotify.com/album/6UYZEYjpN1DYRW0kqFy9ZE?highlight=spotify:track:4iQ5gmTAzWfK8JyFC2LBox) and Robert hooked up the spoken word album Black Boy Gold by Jasmine Mans (https://soundcloud.com/jasminemans/sets/blackboygold)

First things First. We're so sorry we left you without an episode last week, things just couldn't align but we'll be sure to make sure it doesn't happen again. Now... welcome all to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace. In trying to put things right, it's a full furnace today and we spray from the hip for Sorry not Sorry with everyone throwing a grenade of a question on to the Hot seat
Peter starts the onslaught with a classic apologetics style question pondering where Cain got his wife from. Rob follows suit wondering why John was the only don who felt it important to point out he was the disciple that Christ loved. Mo finished off asking what we think the mission of the Church is from God's point of view and in carrying out that mission how do we interact with those who've been hurt by different expressions of that mission. We then go on to talk about the recent comments from BBC's diversity chief regarding Idris Elba's portrayal of Luther which insinuated that because the character didn't fit enough stereotypes it wasn't authentically black. We discuss whether black media will ever work if such stereotypes aren't continually presented.
For our Hookups Peter suggested a new show called The Chosen which is likely one of the best portrayals of the Gospels ever done! Have a watch here https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen
Mo suggested checking out an old school song from Israel Houghton and the New breed called Here I am to worship if you endured Rob's mercifully short but despicable rendition of the song and would like to cleanse your aural pallette have a listen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULwKXfTQXE4
And Rob suggested watching an old school movie called Memento check out the trailer here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/

The Furnace was in full effect again this Easter weekend!
Moses was in the hot seat this week, firstly answering Robert's EXCELLENT question about why the Bible isn't written in chronological order and followed it by answering Peter's question on why Nike sued Lil Nas X's Satan Shoes but not the Jesus Sneakers that were made by the same company.
The mandem continued to talk about the superstar who had horses in the back, giving a break down of the video and how much responsiblity Christians must take because of the hate Lil Nas X was sent his way by them. They as discussed whether Christians should fear demonic things when we're backed by God.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening! Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's furnace with your boys Rob, Pete and Mo! This week's episode was especially fun as we had a very special guest in the "metaphorical building". Shawn Woods is a trainee priest in the church of England who's friends with Mo and who's been a longtime listener of the pod. It was a real pleasure having him on and as if that wasn't enough Shawn was even bold enough to take a turn in the hot seat dealing with questions on if sinning after fasting cancels it out (of course this was Robert's question), why God didn't speak a boat into existence instead of having Noah spend years building one, and how he would deal with a couple that wanted to get married but weren't as mature or as rooted in their faith. After absolutely holding his own in the hot seat Shawn fired back with a question of his own to the furnace, leading us to discuss if the world would be a better place if everyone could read everyone else's mind. Following a very interesting Sorry not sorry we then go on to talk about the recent controversy surrounding marriage and relationship Guru Derrick Jaxn who recently came forward confession some infidelity in his own marriage. We talk about celebrity culture and the dangers of placing people on pedestals.
For our hookups Peter suggested a hack with the Edge web browser for reading longer articles where you can have the browser read the article aloud for you, the shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+U, Mo suggested a podcast called The Disruptors have a listen here https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sho-baraka-evades-the-evangelical-edit/id1495107302?i=1000464485441, Shawn also suggested a podcast called The model health have a listen here https://themodelhealthshow.com/podcasts/. Rob suggests checking out a youtuber called littleblack book 91 on youtube have a watch here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwX-EdUW6ZdnmP5aXxLhf6w Major thanks to Shawn for joining us today and if you are looking for a personal trainer please get in touch for the hookup to train with Shawn both remotely and if you are in the Hackney area.

The Rock and The Rockstar holding down the fort this week in the absence of man lyk Mo. Looks like acquiring a masters ahanges people!!! Both Pete and Rob took turns in the hot seat with Rob dealing with the recent news of an LGBTQ+ professing artist winning some Christian awards and reflecting on Kanye West doing similar in Christian rap. Pete in turn had to deal with how he would explain the modern progressive changes that are happening in society like same sex parents to his daughter.
We then go on to talk about the recent video of renowned Gospel artist Kirk Franklin completely losing his cool and dropping all kinds of profanity in an argument with his son. We discuss the response this has had from the Christian community and give our thoughts on Kirk's actions and words and what they mean. At the end of the day , despite anything we think we do hope that relationship is healed and renewed and the family are well!
For our hookups Peter suggested checking out the new Snyder cut of Justice League and Rob suggested having a watch of the movie Inside Out which despite having watched it before still managed to get him tearing up!

Possibly Peter's worst showing to date at least by the standards of the cancel culture we live it but this weeks episode of the furnace is full of incomplete, not fully fleshed out unpopular opinions on gender roles and equality, safety, and why everyone should do some form of martial arts. The Rock and the Rockstar talk about the state of society following the horrific revelations about the kidnapping and murder of Sarah Everard, and try to find some lessons to be taken away from this tragic event.
They also go one for one in the hot seat for sorry not sorry with Rob asking if it would be adultery to sleep with a clone of one's wife and Peter asking why it's unacceptable for a man to require spousal support from a woman in a marriage gone bad.
Hopefully there's some redemption to be found in the hookups suggested today. Peter suggested watching Straight Outta Compton now available on Netflix and Rob suggested checking out an instagram account that sets walking challenges for members based on popular and interesting physical locations, check out the Conqueror challenges on instagram here https://instagram.com/the_conqueror_challenges?igshid=1on4iosvz6yh

Welcome welcome welcome, to another episode of the Blacksmith's furnace. It's once more a full furnace with Peter finally returned and somewhat recovered from his move.
Peter jumps right back into the hot seat and deals with questions about how he would biblical engage with anti vaccine advocates and things he's learnt about sex post marriage that he wishes other people knew.
Very random indeed and keeping on brand Rob had some questions about innovation and creativity in the church.
He also displayed his bad taste in music by not recognising any of the current great christian artists and had a very interesting question on a very randomly specific sexual roleplay scenario. Enough said

The Smash Bros were back at it once again!! In this week's Sorry Not Sorry, Robert asked Moses if there was any biblical backing to anointing oil/water having super natural properties. Mo then hit back and asked how Robert would navigate talking to his babe about body image issues.
This week's conversation was centred on the moral ethics of Christians turning radical and ruling over everyone for the greater good as we believe we know the right way to live...
Hook Ups Robert suggested the Youtube channel Tola Talks (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPbDMZbs3I-ndRs6SZD233Q), which deals with personal and purposeful development.

The duo then discussed Valentine’s Day and what it looks like for men to be romanced. They then discussed whether women should demand monogamy if they can’t fulfil their men’s sexual desires…

We then go on to talk about having the conversation about the birds and the bees with our kids, and what the mentality was behind making the decision to bring children into this world in the first place. Slightly existential but we get there without any major mental breakdowns

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace.

We then go on to talk about our personal views on when violence is appropriate and in the words of Rob, if it's ok for a christian to be about that life when faced with conflict.
For our hookups, Peter suggests a productivity technique for all the anime lovers called the Animedoro, it's a variation of the pomodoro technique where one works for 40 to 60 minutes and then watches an episode of their favourite Anime (or sitcom) without the intro or outro.

Peter took a turn in the hot seat today, fielding three hot questions on what's to stop another angelic rebellion like Lucifer's from ever happening again, what could be between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 and whether repentance can save us from reaping some of the fruits of the seed we planted in sin.

Inspired by how bad WW84 and why no one spoke up or offered any corrections to all the bad decisions made for that story, we then go on to talk about our own feelings towards offering and receiving correction from others.
For the first hookups of 2021 Peter suggests subscribing to the podcast Daily Audion bible where they read the bible everyday and get you through the entire bible in a year. Here's their website https://dailyaudiobible.com/

It's a full furnace once more, and we all welcome you to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace.
In today's episode Mo took the hot seat and dealt with questions about what Modesty practically looks like and why there aren't as many supernatural miracles now as there were in the times of the Apostles.
We then go on to talk about the reality of just how hard life can be out here and indeed how "understanding" God is of the things people feel they need to do to make ends meet.
Speaking of ways to help people make ends meet ,for our hookups Peter suggested the Google opinion rewards app which pays you for filling out very short surveys to help make their systems a little bit better.

Rob had a simple question for us today, following Peter addressing what would prevent sin once were all in heaven and Rob talking about his recommendations for Bible study to a new convert fresh off an altar call during Sorry Not Sorry...
And that question was simply, Does God want us to enjoy ourselves?
Of course there's levels to enjoyment, and there's a different understanding of what enjoying one's self means but we talk about it and we go there!
We also had some recommendations for your enjoyment with our Hookups

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace with the rock and the rockstar.
Thanks to Rob Man lyk Mo couldn't make it to recording today so Pete and Rob chop it up on which societal structure is the most biblical. Capitalism vs Communism. If you want to hear two guys wax poetic with a loose grip of what those two things actually are you're in for a treat!!
Given it was just the two of us Sorry not Sorry was a one for one with Rob asking if it was ok for Christians to put up Christmas trees and decorations and Pete asking if whether or not Christians should inform their kids of the truth about the existence of Father Christmas.
For our hookups, Peter suggested checking out the Wolverine Anime coming soon to Netflix check out this article for more and set your reminders https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/marvel-anime-x-men-wolverwine-coming-to-netflix-in-december-2020/ and Rob suggested checking out a youtube video by the Critical Drinker on why The Past Matters and why things that don't meet today's societal standards, though accepted at the time, should not be erased from history.

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace, this week we've a full house once more, albeit at about 11:30pm we're all pretty beat but remain dedicated to bringing you the bants and the fire as always!
Speaking of fire Rob took the hot seat this week and dealt with questions regarding if sexual activities in games like God of war and Grand Theft Auto are sinful and the difference, if any, between how he would walk with a friend going through a divorce if they were a believer and if they weren't.
Bob then goes on to ask the furnace their thoughts on feeling fulfilled and appreciated in our relationships and this leads into a conversation about the disparity between the celebration of fathers and that of mothers in society and more importantly in the church!
To show our appreciation for you guys of course we've got some hookups.
Robert suggested a book called the Tattooist of Auschwitz the story of Lale Sokolov and his job of tattooing prisoners marked for survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Have a read here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tattooist-Auschwitz-heart-breaking-unforgettable-international-ebook/dp/B074CG2SGV
Peter suggested a small batch chilli Sauce, that is both nice and peppery but also incredibly flavourful called Big Jays Chilli sauce. Follow them on instagram to find out when the next batch is being made and place an order

Full Disclaimer. We're not purveyors of conspiracy theories always do your research and be led by God in what you will believe but... at Robert's request, we delve into some of the theories we've heard and are thinking about. Let us know what you've been pondering in these strange times and how do you make sure you're well informed in an age of not necessarily useful or all true information overload.
Mo took the hot seat and dealt with questions about killing our pride, and choosing between insubordination and obedience to someone asking you to go against your values and beliefs.
For our Hookups Peter suggested checking out a film on Netflix, called A Choo, by his own admission it's not going to win any awards but it's a fun watch, check it out here https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81322031
Mo suggested a Spotify playlist called This is Eshon Burgundy have a listen here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DZ06evO1bHqqk?si=eAOpBK-sQJ6qfiN3d6wWhQ

To quote Ivan Drago from the Rocky and Creed movies "If he dies, he dies!"
Are you scared of Death? That's the question we kick off with for this episode of Furnace. Rob asks the worse ways to die, and we share our thoughts on death as a concept. Suffice it to say our thoughts differ significantly from Peter Pan's description of death as the "last great adventure."
Peter took a turn in the hot seat for Sorry not sorry initially addressing how he would help a new Christian pick a church to belong to and how he would help someone who hasn't had a good experience with their earthly father deal with the understanding of God as a Father!
Of course we've also got a few hookups for y'all:
Peter started us off with a movie he states he's certainly going to show to his daughter when she's old enough about sexual harrassment called Citation. Check it out on netflix here https://g.co/kgs/uhAB1L
Mo, in the spirit of Christmas being 6 weeks out (yep!) suggested checking out a Chritsmas themed hip hop album by God's Servant called The Christ of Christmas have a listen here https://lampmode.bandcamp.com/album/the-christ-of-christmas

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace, with Rob and Mo and unfortunately missing the enigmatic Pete. It was a one for one during Sorry not sorry with Rob starting out with a question about if Christ's interaction with the Canaanite woman, more specifically in Matthew 15:21 -28, displayed racism.
Mo hit back asking how Rob would address Christians navigating modern day prophecy especially as there are schools of thought that believe prophets no longer function or exist post Christ's ministry.
Not entirely sure this requires a trigger warning but we do find out both Man lyk and The man the gals lyk were initially all about the bosoms. They then go on to talk about what's influenced and changed the features they find physically appealing about the opposite sex.
For our Hookups
Mo suggested checking out an app for watching anime called Crunchyroll, essentially the Netflix for anime. Have a look here www.crunchyroll.com
Rob suggested a board game called 5 second rule, a nice one for lockdown part two, have some fun here https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/games-puzzles-and-books/board-games/family-board-games/5-second-rule/p/175178

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace, with Rob, Pete and Man lyk Mo out here!! Following the news of the passing of Sean Connery we briefly discuss our favourite depictions of James Bond to start with. Here's a quiz for the listeners, which incarnation of the super suave super spy is your fav. Mo then takes the hot seat and deals with an interesting hypothetical from Rob: If time travel is invented, would being able to go and see the crucifixion have a net negative or positive effect on Christianity? and Pete asks what Mo's approach would be if dealing with someone who identifies as animesexual (Yep that's an actual thing!).
We then go on to talk about a new Sky arts show that actually got cancelled not soon after it started due to one of the contestants having nazi related tattoos that were on display. Off of this we share our thoughts free speech and freedom of expression and the extent to which it should be defended despite how offensive or polarising it can be.
For our hookups,
Peter jumped in first with a new Netflix show called Blood of Zeus, check it out here https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81001988
Mo also suggested checking out the latest season of Tokyo Ghoul, have a watch here https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80023687

It's the triumphant return of the Bobby A after a couple weeks of silence, but that line is about as much fan fare as he's going to get because there are some significantly more important things to discuss in this week's episode.
After a group sorry not sorry discussing whether we need to transition from a Christian podcast, to a podcast by Christians, or if that is even a thing. We move on to talk about the despicable actions of the Nigerian government and police that have been going on recently.
Suffice it to say we are praying for and Nigeria and implore everyone to please research what's happening, make as much noise about it as possible to bring awareness to what's going on and visit some of the links below to see how you can help out.

Welcome to another episode of the furnace featuring the Heavy Hitters Man like Mo and yours truly Pete.
We kick things off trading blows during Sorry Not Sorry, Pete asked where the line should be drawn, for a Christian, between tolerance, and speaking THE truth and Mo shot back with question about the fairness of a Holy Almighty God placing the weight of living up to the unachievable standard of the Law on fallen man!
Inspired by the upcoming "exhibition" match between legends and hall of famers Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr and the fact that despite being very very far past their primes, they are both looking exceedingly impressive in their training for the upcoming bout, we go on to talk about longevity and what we are working on with hopes of being able to still work on and maybe be great at long into our old age.
Speaking of old age, Pete wants to hook you up with a cheap and cheerful, but highly functional fitness tracker so you can stay healthy and strong long into your old age. Check out the Xiaomi Mi band 5 here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Xiaomi-Band-Health-Fitness-Tracker/dp/B089NS9JW2/ref=sr_1_3?adgrpid=79997968788&dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwz6_8BRBkEiwA3p02Vfblf_Wb_jKbxYm_JvLOxW9YsKbsmCpTgJGHtcyN0II4rL4FBeqOSxoCEOIQAvD_BwE&hvadid=354241654768&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9045859&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15970021128838458249&hvtargid=kwd-305066368702&hydadcr=4177_1794984&keywords=xiaomi+mi+band+5&qid=1603052196&sr=8-3&tag=googhydr-21

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace. This week join the hardest hitting two thirds of the furnace, The heavy hitters Mo and Pete, as they address the topic of physical aesthetics and the definition of beauty in the world and church today!
It was again shot for shot during Sorry Not Sorry today. Pete threw out the same question as he did last week asking Mo to provide a defence for what he believes regarding salvation and Mo asks Peter how Abraham marrying his half sister Sarah when the bible explicitly states such should not happen!
We then go on to talk about beauty and it's definition in society today, and how social media and our faith should inform that definition. It was particularly interesting to see how the same topic generated a similar but uniquely different conversation between Pete and Mo than it did between Rob and Pete.
For our hookups Pete suggested checking out the Prophecy Pros podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, as the name suggests it's a podcast about biblical prophecy and it's relevance in society today!
He also suggested checking out a great book, The Last Eve: Mystery of Sanctification by Shan Lu.
It's a great read, written by a lovely lady of God with a passion to see people has a life transforming relationship with God!! so definitely check it out!! It's available on Amazon here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Eve-Mystery-Sanctification-Book/dp/B08HT864QY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=E3X9R7Q43TUS&dchild=1&keywords=mystery+of+sanctification+shan+lu&qid=1602364051&sprefix=shan+Lu+the+mystery+%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1
Mo also suggested checking out the video that sparked Pete's Sorry not Sorry question and challenges you to also think about how you would communicate the gospel to those around you!

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace. This week join the hardest two thirds of the furnace, The Rock and the Rockstar, as they discuss standards of beauty in the world and church today!
It was shot for shot during Sorry Not Sorry today. Peter tackles how there could be light without the sun in the creation account in Genesis, and Rob gives an explanation , not of what he believes but rather why he believes it.
We then go on to talk about Instagram and it's effect on society following it's 10th birthday on the 4th of October 2020 and consequently how it's affected our definition and understanding of Beauty
for our hookups Peter suggests checking out a journaling app for those who don't want to Journal called Daylio. Check it out here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daylio&hl=en_GB

This year has indeed been a weird one. Outside of the global pandemic and all the devastation that's brought, we've seen the Black Lives Matter movement come to a head with George Floyd and now we watch the murder of an innocent black woman go unpunished by the law and we are left asking what's the price of a life.
Rob was in the hot seat and tackled questions on what churches today would illicit a similar response from Christ as when he popped off in the temple, and if Lot was justified in his attempt to trade his daughters for the two strangers.
We then go on to talk about whether or not Kirk Franklin is the ultimate "finesser" in Gospel music. (It's not as bad as it seems)
For our hookups
Rob suggested checking out a song by Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper called Holy, check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvPsJFRGleA
Mo then suggested checking out a Lo-fi Hip hop artist Nokiaa check out his work here https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ikgHu560bYMZOOXFQnRLN

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace, Mo took the Hot seat this week and Pete came swinging with questions about the holiness or lack thereof in the choice to purchase a PS5 and Rob follwoed with a question about earthly possessions and riches and how to discern if they're from God or the enemy.
We go on to talk about the Justice system in the UK and new propositions to lower the qualifying age for Death penalties to 18. This lead to a discussion about if 18 years is truly long enough to call one an adult.
For our Hookups Mo suggests that everyone buys a PS5, these sentiments are not shared by the entirety of the Furnace or the Ordinary Amazing. Peter suggested checking out a podcast called Process about productivity check it out here https://effectiveremotework.com/category/process/
In an act of defiance Peter also suggested checking out an interview that Mo was a part of on Instagram discussing male sexuality: Check it out here https://www.instagram.com/tv/CFIZ6_4JerR/?igshid=19xk8nwve5ltx

Hey there, welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace with Rob, Pete and Man lyk Mo.
This week we're out here talking about how Boys will always be boys.
In Sorry Not Sorry Pete assumed the position in the hot seat and discussed contacting our ancestors spiritually, Why Elijah was present during the transfiguration of Christ, instead of Elisha who performed twice as many recorded miracles and if the people who flip the switch or administer the lethal injection to inmates on Death row are guilty, in the eyes of the Lord, of murder / sin.
Today's conversation starts in a gentleman's club and goes on to be a discussion on if gender specific spaces are still necessary in today's society and culture of apparent "indiscriminate inclusion".
For our hookups Peter stays on theme with a rated R tv series available on Amazon Prime Video called The Boys have a watch if you dare here https://www.amazon.com/The-Boys-Season-1/dp/B07QNJCXZK Mo brought back the sacred with Lecrae's latest album Restoration check it out here https://lecrae.com/

Last week the world was shocked by the passing of Chadwick Boseman, the surprise being made all the worse by the revelation that in private he had battled colon cancer for the past 4 years all the while bringing us great movies, the most impactful being Marvel's Black Panther.
Today we discuss death, legacy and the impact he and Black Panther had on our lives and on society and we talk about giving roses to those around us while we can, and working through pain to achieve one's goals and purpose.
Rob took the hot seat during Sorry Not Sorry and discussed the hypothetical question, what if Jesus isn't God, and Peter asked him how he'd practically lived out his Christianity that day!
For our Hookups
Pete suggested checking out some of Chadwick's other movies, recommending 21 Bridges and Message from the King
Mo suggested a useful timer he uses for film development called Dev It! available for Android and IOS

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace, it's a full house with Pete getting his priorities right this time round and we have a rather interesting conversation about angels, dreams and how to interpret them.

Man lyk and the man the gals lyk representing the furnace in today's episode. Pete was unable to make due to, in Rob's words "having his priorities all wrong!" Mo was equally disgusted by Pete's choice to be at church instead of Podcast but the Lord forgives and charges us to do so as well so hopefully no hard feelings!
In Sorry Not Sorry we had a one for one sessions, with Rob kicking it off with a question about if the Holy Spirit can leave and return to a believer based on how they are living their life.
Mo's question was about how Christ's friends may have affected him in the light of proverbs like, Birds of a feather flock together, considering Christ was found mostly amongst sinners.
The guys then go on to talk about Role models, and more specifically how they feel about people like Cardi B being role models for young women. For some reason Rob also saw fit to defend Tekashi 6 9 as a gangster rapper among other random notes.
Lastly some Hookups for y'all Rob suggested checking out an artist called Ivorian Doll a UK female Grime artist and Mo wants you to checkout Lecrae's latest and possibly last album and documentary called Restoration

With the episode recording on Father's day of course we had to talk about all things Fatherhood and we specifically address if there's an agenda against fathers, and against black fathers specifically as that's what we have most experience with.
Peter took the seat today and dealt with questions around why Christ felt it necessary to pray for forgiveness for those who crucified him when he was dying for their forgiveness anyway, and what the significance of Peter being prayed for By Christ in Luke 22 was in comparison to Judas who also ended up messing up.

If they we're in trouble, again, it would be front page news on all the news outlets and all over social media, but Kanye West and Floyd Mayweather Jr. seemed to have slipped completely under the radar with their most recent acts of solidarity and charity, setting up scholarship funds and paying for the George Floyd funeral respectively.
Why is this the case, and why is Peter such a hater? Tune in for answers to these and more!!

Week 3 of the Coronavirus lockdown and selfishly a few 3000 people chose to completely disregard the lockdown because there was some lovely weather. Peter seemed angry enough to turn dictator at the blatant disregard for human life and the guys weren't too far off.

In the third week of March 2020 CE the UK went into full advisory Self Isolation, It wasn't full lockdown as there hasn't been a curfew set but pubs, restaurants and all public gatherings have been banned and businesses have been closed in an effort to slow and hopefully stop the spread of the Coroavirus Covid-19
The Flame flickered in fleeting moment of uncertainty but today, The Furnace burns bright from our individual homes via Skype .
That's right, COVID-19 wasn't about to stop this week's episode but we also maintained social distancing and came together only virtually to bring you another fund conversation.
We started with Mo in the hot seat, unsurprisingly fielding questions about the coronavirus and then the furnace went in on how its affected us and what were hoping to maybe learn from everything going on.
Of course we have some isolation proof hookups for you

Sometimes you just don't know how God is going to direct an episode, just one of those things that make the podcast so fun.
T'was a full Furnace plus 1 today, we had the privilege's of being joined by the incomparable Cynthia (@fayidat) who brought a beautifully unique and genuine perspective that actually ended up turning today's episode on it's head.
After the heavy hitters (Mo and Peter) hoard the hot seat, today's episode focused more how how we each came to the faith and this highlighted how intentional and personally interested God is in our personal live and how that ends up looking different for each and every single person.
Hookups
Rob suggested checking out runners need for all your running needs :D

It's the full furnace in full effect for the first time in the new year!
Robert wanted to talk Romance in the Bible vs romance now so we took it there, long before the love month of February in this episode.
We talk how romantic love was displayed in the bible and what it looks like now and effectively where, if at all, we can be better
Definitely a fun one for the books especially with Robert taking an extremely spicy turn in the hot seat during Sorry Not Sorry.

Welcome to the very last episode of the year, and the decade.
With Robert in Ghana, it's the heavy hitters reporting for duty joined by the absolutely lovely and incredibly insightful Jemz.
Sorry not sorry was a bit of a wild West situation with everyone taking a turn in the hot seat!
With the decade nearly over, instead of just looking at the next year, or decade as we normally would around this time, we chose to look at what we want our legacies to be.
We especially considered how this would flesh out for our kids and it was indeed some very reflective conversation.
Of course, in talking about leaving something behind we couldn't leave the episode without leaving some final hookups.
Jems wanted to leave you all with the thought to write a letter, the gesture, she's found, can be a refreshing reminder to folk that you care and can take the time to dedicate some thought to them!
So write someone a letter soon!
Mo suggested checking a old favourite of the podcast, Khalil Gibran's The Prophet, definitely a piece of his incredible legacy this has been a book that's certainly affected a lot of us.
Check it out here
The Prophet https://g.co/kgs/etzadw
And in speaking about books that have affected us, Peter suggested, again, commiting to reading the entire Bible again next year with one of the podcasts from. The Daily Audio Bible community, it'll be his second year in a row going through the entire Bible and with a new year beginning it's a perfect opportunity to subscribe to one of their various themes and spend a little time in the Bible each day for the next year

In all fairness today's episode was mostly sorry not sorry then a brief introduction to our "money stories" and how we think our first formative experiences with money shaped how we treat it.
The full furnace was in full fiery effect and it certainly got heated in the episode
Of course we also have some hookups for the great listeners,
Mo suggested a book by Tim keller, Counterfeit Gods which addresses some of the concepts around the idols we create for ourselves

Peter took a turn in the hot seat and what a fun sorry not sorry segment , we discuss revelations and Job in some specific detail and Peter definitely had fun with it.
We then went on to talk about how little accountability there is in the church regarding the words we sing during worship! It was a good conversation that really addresses our hearts towards God and our sincerity and seriousness about worshiping him.
Side note little Leia joined us in the background and so you might hear her singing along to a video she was watching while we were recording
For our hookups Peter Suggested a new podcast he found created by the Humble beast rapper propaganda and his wife, anyone who knows Prop's music knows he's and intellectual, and an activist and he brings these interests to the podcast and it certainly makes for an interesting pair
check out the Red Couch podcast wherever you listen to podcasts
Mo suggested, like a Nintendo brain washed Luigi avatar, getting the new Nintendo switch gaming console Peter was less than enthused.
Rob suggested checking out a cake stand manufacturer called Surprise cake, I'd tell you where they're about but it would ruin the surprise

The Rock and the Rockstar in attendance today bringing the fire to the Furnace!
In today's episode we take another look at the upcoming elections but this time with a much more focused look at how this all affects the black community and black Christians more specifically.
Now in order to get this done properly we reached out to the guys over on the Black Berea podcast whose main focus is actually black Christianity. They were gracious enough to agree and sent the inimitable @Marypromise who joined us on today's episode and brought a very interesting perspective and some Berean style biblical knowledge to our conversation.
we hit on all the major talking points from how our community engages with politics in this country to whether things like Weed and Prostitution should be legalised and regulated by the government.
Of course we also had some hookups for you, Robert suggested a book he's using called kakeibo which is a "budgeting" book that uses a Japanese style of saving to help you get into the habit of doing so, check that out here
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kakeibo-Japanese-Art-Saving-Money/dp/1405936134
Peter came with a public service announcement advising people take their digital security very seriously and switch on 2 factor authentication wherever they can
and Mary suggested checking out the Challies reading challenge that challenges participants to reading a book every week, month, or couple of days . It definitely sounds like fun and if one of your new year resolutions will be to start reading more this will definitely be a great way to help you get there. This was this years list https://www.challies.com/resources/the-2019-christian-reading-challenge/
Massive massive thanks to the guys over at the Black Berea podcast make sure you check them out, and we al exceedingly grateful to Mary for taking the time and making the trip down and blessing us with her presence and insight.

Before 2016, in all honesty, I didn't even know what a referendum was, Cut to 2019 and the country is still in a right mess following the surprising decision to leave the European union, and consequentially the coining of the infamous term Brexit!
In the 3 years that followed we've been through 3 Prime Ministers and we're now on the verge of choosing a 4th, and quite literally desperate to help the people make the right choice, the Furnace brings you the Election special.
Now granted none of the furnace members are particularly politically minded we saw fit to get a couple of young voices who are.
Enter Stage left, friend of the podcast Vincent Anane Nimoh (@ananenimoh) and the lovely Celine Henry (@celinea_henry)
Vincent has been a member of the labour party for a few years now and Celine is a self described apathetic voter leaning toward conservative ideas, and they joined me to try and breakdown the policies and promises of the leading parties to help inform your decision when you cast your vote.
We are especially grateful for the time and for the wealth of information they brought to the conversation
We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you don't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing.

A full furnace once more reporting for duty!
This week Peter volunteered his behind for the hot seat, and it gets pretty intense pretty quickly discussing,failed leadership in church and how to know your interpretation of the Bible is correct.
Then we moved onto the topic of Virginity and it's worth in today's society, we're pretty late to the party, but this is following well known hip hop rapper Tip "TI" Harris bragging about taking his daughter to the doctor to check her hymen is still intact on a monthly basis.
We felt he's suffered enough backlash but we wanted to address the topic as men and fathers in today's society.
For our Hookups there were a few
Mo suggested a couple of things: The first was a new album by Krept and Konan check that out here
https://kreptandkonanstore.com/
and to balance out the secular in his life he also suggested an oldie but a goldie in Sho baracka's mixtape barakaology
Check that out here:

Robert suggested a game for the nitendo switch that's pretty useful for keeping physically fit using the console check out Ring Fit Adventure here:

Firstly apologies for the delayed upload, a few emergencies in the family meant we couldn't record on our usual Sunday afternoon but all is well now and in wanting to make sure an episode still goes up, I'm posting a re-upload of an older episode.
In light of recent exposure of SPAC Nation pastors in a piece by the huffingtonpost UK it's still relevant and a good refresher before an upcoming conversation about "Christian Cults" in general
Here's the original show notes;
The surest most impenetrable barrier to the truth, is presumption that you already have it!Dr C MisslerIn today's episode Peter has some questions and after a failed attempt to catch Mo slipping the conversation centred on two main topics,Which is more important, the ability to articulate good doctrine or the display of fruits that would be birthed from having good doctrine? and Is it worth challenging bad doctrine regardless of the risk of shaking the faith of an individual?In the absence of Rob it was a good conversation reflecting on our own approach to finding the balance between good doctrine and good works.We still had a few hookups for the masses of course.Mo Suggested another anime from Netflix, based on the Ghost in the Shell manga, Checkout Ghost in the Shell: ARISE
www.netflix.com/title/80002073?source=android
Peter also suggested checking out a rapper call NF whose, deeply personal and honest content is exceedingly dark and aggressive to the point of making Peter call him "Eminem if he was christian"Check him out here

Behind the scenes Peter: Robert, let's do something scary for Halloween Robert: Sure
Podcast recording time Peter: What we talking about today Robert? Robert: Sex
Need I say more?
For whatever reason, for Halloween and indeed at the request of the furnace to do something scary Robert decides it's a good idea to talk all things sex and addictions to it.
Mo takes the Hot seat during Sorry not sorry!, and for our Hookups Peter Suggested a audio drama podcast called Edge of Sleep, check it out here
MO suggested checking out an album that Peter made so much noise about, Augustine's Legacy by S.O. still is one of Peter's favourite albums, and from the look of things is turning out to be one that Mo likes as well!
Lastly Robert suggested checking out an app that claims to help with intimacy for Christians called Ultimate intimacy Check it out in your app store

The Rock and the Rockstar, reporting for duty to redeem an episode otherwise ruined by Roberts reckless behavior .
This week's episode was a bit of a technological miracle considering the original episode was lost because Robert's computer corrupted the files!
That said we do plead with you all to bear with us as the episode won't have the quality of sound we're used to ensuring. it will be back next week!
But given technology was the savior of this episode Robert decided our topic will be thrashing it and for that reason we talk about the benefits and burdens of the technologically advanced society we find our selves in
We also had some hookups, Peter suggested checking out a similar podcast to ours call the Black Berea podcast, check them out here https://www.blackberea.com/ Robert suggested checking our Kanye's new album Jesus is King and Mo suggested, in absentia, checking out a theologically dense album by Willie Will called the Gift!

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace.
In attendance today, the Rock, and the Rock Splitter/ Striker or, the wave rider/ walker and the wave parter or the more reasonable two thirds of the furnace Mo and Peter (dynamic duo moniker to be confirmed)
We had a great conversation about gay rights and the church stemming from the protests that led to Chick Fil a, a well known, Christian, fast food chain in the US, ditching plans to expand here in the UK after protests led by the LGBTQ+ community.
They were accused of having 'outdated' biblical beliefs and for supporting organisations that believed in gay conversion therapy and were essentially prevented from bringing what has been claimed to be the best fast food chicken in the states, here to the UK.
In their absence you might have to stick with your Nando's and KFC but in our hookups section Mo suggested checking out an old but still great track by Stephen the Levite called "What's the proof?"
Check it out here
https://open.spotify.com/track/2nDfj3uKYk0UHQmghfFvXh?si=qGhr0oG7SrGi-KTOAzRdQQ

In the wake of Mental Health week, this episode was dedicated to discussing the issue from a Christian point of view. As usual there were differing views on the definition of the problem regarding mental health and what the solution should be.
Peter also took the hot seat and attempted to field questions on the validity of infant baptism and if Jesus was wiser than the wisest man to walk the earth.
For out Hookups
Mo suggested an old classic of a christian hip hop track; H.O.O.P.S. by Evangel

We finally were furnished with a full furnace friends!
Man lyk Mo made his triumphant return and answered the question on everyone's mind, where has he been!
Of course as a welcome back gift we allowed him to take the hot seat for sorry not sorry which he handled with no signs of ring rust by the way.
Then we got into a rather controversial topic most Christian households most probably would not like to contemplate.
It didn't end perfectly for the furnace folks, but I've already said too much.
For our hookups Peter suggested an app that can be used to better manage email newsletter subscriptions called stoop
Check it out here
https://stoopinbox.com
Mo suggested a game that challenged him recently called Wordscapes
Find it in ur preferred app store
And finally the Rockstar suggested a new book that his nose has been buried in recently
It's called Dating Gently and its really about redefining vulnerability

The Rock and the Rockstar reporting for duty once again. It was a fun conversation about cancel culture and what it looks like in the church these days. Hopefully neither of us get cancelled for the wildness we spewed.
Hopefully cancel redemption may be achieved with our hookups Peter recommended checking out a new podcast by Myriam Osei from the last episode, Journeys With.. it's a great podcast where Myriam talks to her guests about their journeys. It's informative and entertaining and a great listen. check it out and subscribe here https://anchor.fm/journeyswithpodcast
Robert chose to give two hookups today, firstly he suggested, using a new open source live presentation software for church services called OpenLP it's a great application you can use to present song, and scriptures during Church! Search for Open LP if you're interested
Robert suggested an old school classic album in his book, Adele 25, luckily he didn't choose to sing anything from it but it's definitely a great album Check it out here https://g.co/kgs/ArbBd2

Welcome to another episode of the podcast, today we are joined by an incredibly inspiring young lady. She's got a passion for people and stories and so it's no wonder that at 25, she's already interviewed presidents, produced a documentary on disability and its stigma in Ghana, started a successful YouTube channel and has most recently started a new podcast. We talk about her story, her passions and her podcast and it was a especially enjoyable conversation.
Please welcome the Lovely Myriam Osei!
Hookups were a no brainer today, Myriam's new podcast is just two episodes in at the time of recording but they've been two incredible stories that have provided jokes and a wealth of wisdom! You can check out "Journeys With..." on anchor, spotify, google podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. check it out and subscribe here https://anchor.fm/journeyswithpodcast
Speaking of how you get your podcasts, Peter's hookup was the podcast app PocketCasts, it was recently made free where it was originally a paid app and bring all those premium features to the free version! get it here https://www.pocketcasts.com/

The Rock and the Rockstar back at it again this time joined by the inspirationally insightful Captain Emma Moore, who is a Pastor at Robert's Church. After her last appearance of the Podcast it became painfully obvious that Peter was a fan and today's podcast really was Peter getting to ask all the questions he's had and marvel at Captain Emma's priceless responses. A deeply thoughtful and informative conversation awaits!
Hookups
On a somewhat sadder note Peter's hook up is a version of the Friends theme song in a minor key. It makes the whole song take a solemn turn and is perfectly fitting for what will be Friends being taken off Netflix soon.
Check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmdkGH3Plgo
Robert, thinking only of his belly, recommends a restaurant. It's called Honest Burgers and apparently is incredible value for money. Check them out here https://www.honestburgers.co.uk/
Captain Emma hooked us up with what turns out to be a great fun idea to try out for dinner; Homemade sushi bowls. it's fun and delicious and a great way to get kids involved in the dinning experience.

Today the Man of Flames was joined once again by the lovely Simi as well as the second half of his church's pastor pair, Captain Matt Moore. For Sorry, Not Sorry, Matt gave an overview of the Trinity.
The trio then discussed Matt's journey to officership as well as various stereotypes and preconceptions held by Christians and about Christians.
For Hook-Ups, Robert recommended the old school game show Catchphrase, Simi asked for prayers for Hurricane victims whilst Matt recommended Ted Talks and the Youtube channel No Dumb Questions (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVnIvJuTZqM5nnwGFpA57_Q)

It's the Rock and the Rockstar representing in this episode as Mo has earned himself some good time off.
As has become tradition, when there's only two thirds of the furnace present Both Peter and Robert took turns in the hot seat.
We then went on to talk about the bible and what or who we would have to add to it if such things were possible... (We don't believe the bible needs adding to! Just playing around with the idea :D)
Peter had two hookups today, both podcasts, the first being a podcast that looks to present the need for God in today's society. Its called Vital signs, check it out here https://www.rzim.org/listen/vital-signs

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace.
In today's episode we talk about the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable and why that seems to be especially hard to achieve when it comes to matters of faith.
The topic wasn't too far off what we discussed in the Sorry Not Sorry section where Peter voluntarily took the hot seat and dealt with questions on Jesus's humanity and Christians current inability to display the divine as spectacularly as the early church did.
Ther was a musical trio of Hookups with Rob suggesting checking out Rick Ross' new album Port of Miami 2 https://open.spotify.com/album/1mgw5rbUS94uif2ce9QCf0?autoplay=true&v=L, Mo hooking up Andy Mineo's new realease of a bunch of songs that never quite fit in to any particular album of his over the years, It's called Work in Progress https://open.spotify.com/album/1ceb29zCX7Od6pT9BjCyKF and Peter reiterated his last hookup which was S.O. upcoming album Augustine's Legacy, Pre-add/save wherever you find good music https://iamsothekid.com/

The prodigal child returns, and with him, of course a slew of ridiculous scenarios and concepts.
Robert's return was not without it's fan fare and today's episode was indeed a rather grim one. starting off with Robert right back in the Hot seat, sorry not sorry was a difficult one , then we move into Robert addressing a challenge he received regarding an episode he recorded, alone, a few months back, in which he emphatically claims he could not marry a saved and redeemed Pornstar!
Spoilers; He still stands by that statement!
It was all fun and games from there as we elaborate on what being redeemed should really mean and look like in christian society.
For our Hookups, Peter shares that he's started watching drum line battles for the appreciation of the hard work and dedication that goes into choreographing them
He also reiterated a hookup from last week from rapper S.O. His latest song White Jesus is an informative banger check that out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlePt0hiWaI
Mo also hooked up a song by Eshon Burgundy called Never Fold, check that out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7rBhdTXFhY
and lastly Robert, in line with the topic today, suggested reading Francine Rivers book Redeeming Love which is a retelling of the story of Hosea Give it a read here: https://www.amazon.com/Redeeming-Love-Francine-Rivers/dp/1590525132

Given the more masculine two thirds of the furnace were in attendance today, we felt it appropriate to address the topic and have a conversation about what Toxic Masculinity really looks like , and maybe what the potential remedy to this "affliction" could be.
The discussion really was a continuation of the sorry not sorry segment this week, where both Mo and Peter took turns in the hot seat, and we definitely will be coming back to this to finish off our thoughts on how to get past this concept of toxic masculinity amongst men. For our hookups Mo mentioned checking out a three part book by the OG C.S. Lewis collectively called the Cosmic trilogy check it out here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lewis-Space-Trilogy-3-Copy-Boxed-Set/dp/068483118X

Welcome to another episode of the furnace, this week Peter was joined by his lovely wife, Anita as they had a brief conversation about Christians and secular music.
Anita chose to take the hit seat and answered a very random question dealing with Adam and Eve's belly buttons and of course we had a few hookups for the people.
Peter suggested checking out a Christian rapper called NF who has an album out now called The Search, that debuted at number 1 on even secular charts. And Anita mentioned a Christian singing competition on BET hosted by Kirk Franklin called Sunday Best Definitely some great singing in there so check it out!

In this week's episode both Peter and Mo respond to Sorry Not Sorry questions from each other, given Rob couldn't make the recording. We talk about future baby making technology and how much baptism contributes to one's being saved.
We also then move to possibly our most politically focused episode to date, discussing the recent emergence of Boris John as prime minister of the culture and what the possible ramifications of brexit could mean for the country.
In our hookups section Peter, in line with the topic of discussion, wanted to remind everyone to be mindful of the terms and conditions and app permissions they approve digitally especially with brexit And Mo suggested using an app called my Fitness Pal to track calories and help you live a better life

It's the cooler two thirds of the furnace this week, with Robert absent for reasons we'll let him explain later, and today we tackle the unpopular topic of the appropriation of christian symbols.
Most recently in the news, the rainbow was prominent as a sign of gay pride during pride month and we discuss why society seems ready to acknowledge and respect the cultures and symbols and sometimes language of most people groups except Christian.
We also look at some of the achievements of the trump administration in America, most recently his being the first American president to step into North Korea and ask the question could our version of the most unlikely choice of leader be just the shock to the system that we need going in to the selection of a new prime minister here in London

The Furnace was finally back together as Peter made is long awaited unimpressive return after the birth of his first child, Zara. Inspired by this, the Furnace decided to make this episode a time capsule of sorts with advice to our current and future children as well as messages for our wives to listen to in years to come.

Welcome all, to another episode of the furnace!! This time with two thirds of the crew, we're making progress, we had a great conversation about Death and our relationship, or lack there of, with it.
We talked about addressing grieving unbelievers and what can give one the assurance of what happens after death.
Peter took the hot seat today, and Robert peppered him with not one but two heavy hitters in today's Sorry not Sorry segment.
You may have guess by now that Mo's our missing member, he was out sick today so our prayers are with him, even though he doesn't listen and thus will never know how much we care.
For our hookups, Peter suggested checking out author and apologist Ravi Zacharias' Youtube channel, it's a great resource of biblical apologetics. https://www.youtube.com/user/rzimmedia
Robert suggested checking out a YouTube channel called Jubilee that provides a platform for people to have a deeper understanding of others https://www.youtube.com/user/jubileeProject
and in Mo's absence Peter again suggested checking out the Houston rapper Tobe Nwigwe who's whole deal is making purpose popular! https://www.tobenwigwe.com/

This week the best part of the Furnace was all alone with a very special guest – his pastor, Captain Emma Moore.

In today's episode we talk about the dynamic of having to come to another's defence. This conversation centred around the two different responses presented by Stephen Curry and Israel Houghton who both came to the defence of their partners on social media this past week.
Would we do the same and to what extent?
Mo was in the hot seat for Sorry Not Sorry and he fielded a couple great questions about the legitimacy of the story of Christ especially in view of similar narratives preceding the story of Christ and why an all powerful god doesn't just erase and reprogram the angel that was lucifer!

It's a full furnace today, and we kick things off in true Furnace style with Robert fielding two hard questions during Sorry Not Sorry! We then get into Kanye West's most recent antics and share our thoughts on his Coachella Church services. We then go on to look at his merch sales at said services and what we think about his "relationship" with Christian culture. In our Hookups,
Peter suggested checking out Bizzle's response to Joyner Lucas most recent song, Joyner seems to want to question God about why good people have died, in his mind, despite there being more deserving people of death. It's a great track speaking truth to a sentiment many probably share. Check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eVq1DH95Og
Mo suggested having a go at a chronological bible study, he really celebrated the fact that it gives a much more contextual view of the bible and that really bringing the text to life. The plan he's currently using is this http://bible.com/r/5
Rob also wanted to represent the ratchet spectrum of life and thus suggested checking out Beyonce's Lemonade which is now available on spotify Check it out here https://open.spotify.com/album/7dK54iZuOxXFarGhXwEXfF

In today's rather , all over the place, episode we talk, role models, mentors and people you look up to and how much we should allow "celebrities" to influence us.
We discus which kind of person should be a role model in the first place, and where the Role model has questionable characteristics, who's responsibility it is to ensure those are emulated by the "Role models" followers
Robert nearly got away with not having to take the hot seat in Sorry, Not Sorry but we caught him halfway through and he addresses topics like the annihilation of entire people groups in the old testament and God's justification for his treatment of Job.

It's the more sensible two thirds of the furnace representing today in the absence of our beloved Bobby A. Peter attempted to field not one but two bombs from Mo during Sorry not Sorry and the lovely Jemz joined us for a conversation about conspiracies and the things they could be covering or distracting us from. It was a fun conversation about some not so fun topics and we'd be in the wrong if we didn't send our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Nipsey Hussle who's untimely death prompted the conversation to begin with.
For our hookups
Peter Suggested checking our Bizzle's new album Light work 2 Have a listen here https://open.spotify.com/album/0BRogXAgQyUP2b0g6ktXIL

If you've been following the podcast for a while, you'll have undoubtedly heard of the Show Nancy Meets.
Our very own Peter is the technical director of the show and today he's brought on the producer, Vincent Nimoh and the star of the show, Nancy Mills to talk about the content we create and consume and the effects these have on us as Christians.
In the absence of Bobby A and Mo, Vincent and Nancy provide some great thoughts on the secular and sacred shows we consume and the hard truths we need to address about doing so.
Peter volunteers his behind for the hot seat during Sorry Not Sorry and talks about where all Christians must be apologists or not. Nancy also gives the hot seat a go and talks about the pursuit of perfection as a Christian.
By Virtue of the nature of the conversation there are tons of hookups provided however, apart form the obvious, Nancy and Vincent had some great suggestions to check out.

Mo took the Hot seat today, fielding some interesting questions we imagine non Christians would shoot. He did well tackling everything from the difference between Baptism by sprinkling vs immersion to the relevance and importance of prayer in tongues.
We were also joined again by the lovely Jemz and Bobby A asks the very real question, Is it ever too late to start something? As is sometimes the case in the furnace, the fun conversation ended up turning very reflective and reassuring about the topic and the general consensus was that It's always the right time to do what God is saying to do right then!
Of course we've got some hookups for y'all
Mo suggested an app called myGP which is very useful for listeners in the UK as it helps them make appoints with their Gp and also has lots of Health monitoring functionality. Download it here https://www.ilovemygp.com/
Peter also suggested a good running app called Strava which has proven to be a very accurate recorder and has a great social aspect that connects you to friends that also run check it out here https://www.strava.com/
Jemz shouted out an app called FreePrints which offers 25 free physical prints of your photos where all you have to do is pay for postage. There's also a photobook option with the same benefit! Check it out here https://www.freeprintsapp.co.uk/apps

T'was a full furnace plus one today as we were joined by Mo's most definitely better half Jemz. Bobby A was in the hot seat today for sorry Not sorry... Let's just say it's not his favourite segment anymore! We then go on to a question that could spell the end of the Furnace as we know it, literally.
For our hookups Bobby A suggested checking out the soundtrack to the movie If Beale Street could talk Check it out here https://open.spotify.com/album/0fJDCdcog8975mFnYSCKZT Following in the same vein Pete also suggested checking out the original Broadway Cast recording of the hit Us theatre production Dear Evan Hansen Give it a listen here https://open.spotify.com/album/1wmasbKFvKj0WprjEZCjXF And lastly Mo suggested checking out a new rapper he's taken a liking to called Jafro Check him out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dleBPC0Re4g

The 66 is chronological study of the bible and Pete's converted his first episode Before the Beginning into an audio format for you lovely listeners to have a taste.

DC comics recently cancelled publication of a comic book that depicted Jesus Christ as the side kick of a superhero. This was after 230000 people signed a petition demanding DC comics do so out of respect of the religion.
In light of this we, sans Robert who apparently had "back to back meetings" today, discuss our own hypocrisy given though equally offended when people make light of the person of Christ we also have laughed when shows make fun of other religions.
For our hookups
Mo suggested everyone checks out Pinterest as it can be useful for any field of endeavour https://www.pinterest.co.uk/
Peter suggested checking out a podcast by David Tennant call David Tennant does a podcast wit... where he just has conversations with interesting people. https://www.david-tennant.com/podcast

Robert's in the hot seat today for sorry not sorry and probably regrets suggesting the segment altogether now. We then have a conversation about community and the need and means by which we can build it in the church. Looked like each furnace member had a slightly different take on how to do so, but was a fun conversation in the end. For our hookups Robert suggested checking out a book he is reading called Red Moon Rising which is an account of one of the guys who undertook the challenge of praying every hour on the hour for a whole year! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Red-Moon-Rising-Generation-Chronicles/dp/143470890X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549235194&sr=8-1&keywords=red+moon+rising

Mo had another philosophical hookup, having shot photos on film and finding himself going back to basics, he suggested swapping something digital for something analog especially for the creatives, he cites the benefits of having to go back to the o first principles and how it enhances one's skills when they go back to the advanced tools the digital age has given us.

Mo and Peter both declined to perform at an event Robert had mentioned before on the podcast, Jawdance.
The main reason for both guys was the fact that their poetry was mostly too "churchy" for a secular audience.
Robert of course wanted to address this some more, so we started out with the question is there such a thing as poetry that is too churchy?
We talk about performance and evangelism and all things most people these days would want to find offensive. We then went on to talk about Leadership and measured how good we would be as leaders based on five principles, Wisdom, Courage, Self Awareness, Discipline, and Gratitude. The results are pretty much as expected but the more important question here is how good a leader are you with regards to these pillars.
A big shout out to Simi as well who filled in for Mo on today's episode!!
For our Hookups,
Peter announced that the long awaited first episode of the last season of Nancy meets is now live. This is shaping up to be the best season of Nancy meets yet and thus do check it out here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNf5oWuwmRG3H4bRMAvmMmg
Robert shouted out a book by Elizabeth Elliot called Passion and Purity describing Using her own life as an example, Elisabeth Elliot guides singles of both genders and of any age on how to put their love lives under the authority of Jesus Christ. Check it out here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Passion-Purity-Elliot-Elisabeth/dp/1850789320

Surviving R.Kelly is quite possibly one of the most significant documentaries to hit the masses in recent times.
The topic of abuse, and predatory culture, and the attitudes that make such behaviour thrive has never been more relevant than it is now, and the awkward, difficult and uncomfortable conversations that need to be had are at least beginning to become more commonplace in our places of work and leisure.
In today's conversation we of course also have a look at what the state of society is, how it got this way and maybe how we can steer it right. and just as i mentioned before , it wasn't an easy conversation to have
Luckily we were graced with the presence of Jems who brought a much needed feminine opinion to the table, unluckily we didn't have Bobby A but he most certainly was with us in spirit!
Despite the Gloom and doom of the conversation we stayed true to bringing you guys a couple of hookups
Peter suggested checking out the Daily Audio Bible Chronological, it's a podcast created by the same guys who made the Daily Audion bible podcast he recommended last year. Check it out here https://player.dailyaudiobible.com/chronological
Jemz hooked us up with A christian meditation app that provides guided meditation with biblical stories. It's definitely one I'll be checking out myself Have a go here https://abide.co/
Lastly Mo suggested a journaling bible from Crossways, they've got a bunch of different bibles for you to check out but the one Mo suggested is a single gospel, Mark, and it's laid out such that one page is the word the next is just lined for your journaling . Check out their bibles here https://www.crossway.org/bibles/?category=All

If ever one should look back, let him / her do so to learn. If ever one should look forward, let him / her do so to dream. However, whatever one is to do let them not waste the moment they have right now!
Happy new year every one!
It's our sincere hope that you all have started the year right, and even if you haven't we hope you move on from this moment right! Whatever the case keep moving.
In our first episode of the year, we reflect on the year past, interestingly enough we made some detours which in my opinion reflect the same sort of turns the main discussion took last year!
We also have a look at the future and what we're thinking for the year ahead
For our hookups we look at the most beneficial hookups we could bring from the last year.
Bobby A said the best app to happen to him last year was the Moneybox savings app which has helped him make some significant savings to date
Peter mentioned a customisation app for android phones called Nova Launcher for anyone who wants to customise the layout of their phones.
And lastly Mo suggested a guided meditation app called Headspace for everyone's mental health this year

Story time is back and Bobby A hits us with an interesting tale, of corporate error and what ends up being free products! and off the back of that we talk about when the right thing to do ins't necessarily the only thing to do that isn't wrong!
That's a confusing sentence for a reason !!
It was a fun conversation and a fun time, and in hopes of bring you guys some more fun for after you're done with this episode we also bring you good tidings and hookups!
Peter's gift for all the nice folk out there is an app called Sectograph which allows you to put your daily calendar / schedule on a clock face and display this as a widget on your android phone. It's a great app for anyone who uses their calendar to create very detailed plans for their day! Have a look here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=prox.lab.calclock
Mo following in the same train of thought suggested use of Google Tasks which is a very useful app to create list, and sub-lists and sub sub lists to help you get stuff done! Check it out here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.tasks&hl=en_GB
And if one of the things your trying to get done is read more then Bobby has a suggestion for you! One of his favourite authors, Haruki Murakami's "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His years of pilgrimage" tells the tale of a friend's quest to find out why all his friends suddenly stopped engaging with him. There's so much more to the story but alas you have to read it to find out! Check it out here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41022133-colorless-tsukuru-tazaki-and-his-years-of-pilgrimage

It's a full furnace once more, and today Bobby has us discussing an issue he's had on his mind for a while now.
The issue was more of an observation, and the observation was more of a suggestion that maybe the rise of the PC culture we find ourselves in now could have something to possibly do with the rise of the voice of the oppressed, specifically women, in today's society.
Definitely a conversation we all found thoroughly interesting and we had quite some fun talking about it.
Speaking about fun we also have some fun hookups for you this week.
Peter Suggested checking out a podcast called Villains. As the name not so subtly suggests this is a deep dive into the most notable villains in movies and it always proves to be a fun listen
Check it out here https://www.theringer.com/2018/11/8/18073550/welcome-to-villains
Mo suggested a classic album from Humble Beast, Sho Baraka, called the Narrative. Sho's counter cultural content is always challenging and informative and marries perfectly with the topics we talked about today.
Give it a listen here https://g.co/kgs/shKrqa
And future 5K world record holder Bobby A suggested checking out the app that's going to get him there Couch to 5K It's a great app that aims to getting you running a 5K in just nine weeks
Get running here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phe.couchto5K&hl=en_GB

The surest most impenetrable barrier to the truth, is presumption that you already have it! Dr C Missler
In today's episode Peter has some questions and after a failed attempt to catch Mo slipping the conversation centred on two main topics, Which is more important, the ability to articulate good doctrine or the display of fruits that would be birthed from having good doctrine? and Is it worth challenging bad doctrine regardless of the risk of shaking the faith of an individual? In the absence of Rob it was a good conversation reflecting on our own approach to finding the balance between good doctrine and good works.
We still had a few hookups for the masses of course.
Mo Suggested another anime from Netflix, based on the Ghost in the Shell manga, Checkout Ghost in the Shell: ARISE www.netflix.com/title/80002073?source=android
Peter also suggested checking out a rapper call NF whose, deeply personal and honest content is exceedingly dark and aggressive to the point of making Peter call him "Eminem if he was christian" Check him out here https://open.spotify.com/artist/6fOMl44jA4Sp5b9PpYCkzz
Lastly a special shout out to friend of the podcast and Wife of Mo, Jemilea Jemz Wisdom-Baako who has recently won a spot on a poetry residential and has started a GoFund me account to help see her fly out to america and gain some incredible gems from some this amazing opportunity. There's no obligation of course but with the work she does for the community and with Writerz and Scribez I think it's a worthy cause to invest in.

Whilst Peter was off doing who knows what, Moses and Robert discussed whether Remembrance Day is outdated, whether the world will ever see another Holy War and how to reconcile God being loving in a world filled with so much hurt and pain.
Moses' hook up is a call to start decluttering all aspects of one's life instead of waiting until the New Year.
Robert's hookup is Stormzy new book (and the first from his publishing company #Merky Books), Rise Up: The #Merky Story So Far. A memoir from the #Merky Team on how they came to become involved with the beast that is Big Mike - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rise-Up-Merky-Story-Far/dp/1529118514/

Over a year after his wife's passing, former Man united player and current sports pundit, Rio Ferdinand got together with his now wife, then new girlfriend.
Bobby A brings this to the furnace and we ponder when's too soon to move on from a partner.
This naturally extends into a conversation about the idea of "the one" and whether we believe this concept or if it is indeed biblical
Of course we've got you covered with some hookups for the week
Peter Suggested checking out podcast turned TV Series Homecoming on Amazon prime, the psychological thriller made waves as a podcast and splashed enough water to be made into a TV series Check it out here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7008682/
Bobby A also wanted to share a documentary by one of our favourite comedians Kev On stage about his rise from humble beginnings over 20 years ago to being able to have his first tour, Check out A Calculated Risk on youtube https://youtu.be/SXnbXho0q_E
Mo also shared one for the parents, Youtube for kids, is an app that helps parents keep an eye on what their kids are watching and control things like what their kids can search for, what videos are recommended and viewing durations

For the most part, ask anyone what the one thing they would change in their past is and their answer would be, nothing, everything that's happened thus far has led to who they are now and their happy with that. But Bobby A was having none of that today so we really do try to delve into things that we would actually change if we were given the ability to do so. Bobby also had a couple of episodes of not doing what God had told him to do and seeing God do it through someone else so he also brought that up with hopes we'd help him feel better about it. Spoiler alert, we don't. What you can feel better about however, are some hookups.
Peter suggested checking out a fun youtube channel called How Ridiculous, it's a trio of Australians literally doing basketball and dart trickshots and dropping interesting things on other interesting things
check it out here https://www.youtube.com/user/whoisjimmy
Bobby also suggested a youtube channel called Celtic warrior workouts which is from a WWE superstar and shows him having workouts with other WWE superstars Check it out here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVUqLmcJLM0UGU3gGLfStoQ
Mo also suggested a book he's been reading which, by his own admission, he's found exceedingly difficult. It's definitely worth mentioning to be very prayerful if you choose to check this out but it's called the cross and the lynching tree

When a popular guy in a Hi-Vis jacket gets mistaken for a deer and shot and killed in the French alpines, it's fits the situation to call it karma when it comes out that he was secretly a child molester in his past.
But is Karma enough to explain this and does Karma affect us in similar fashion as Christians?
That' where we set off from in today's episode of the Furnace. We were joined by the lovely Angela in the absence of Mo who was himself away in France of all places.
Angela didn't come empty handed and brought a recommendation to check out Tori Kelly's new album Hiding place
Give it a listen here https://open.spotify.com/album/5A5ePoPwlIuxVmn3cIhiFw
Peter suggested a video by the Bible Project called God, trust me you wanna give this one watch it's only 8 minutes long, so check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAvYmE2YYIU&t=63s

With our personal preferences, likes and dislikes, we find we all have a unique voice that we tend to resonate with.
Might be that one preacher who's style you like, or the speaker who you always seem to understand. We all and each, tend to be in someone's audience and in today's episode we discuss why we listen to those we do.
Of course Kanye's antics made it into our conversation and we talk about why his voice is so powerful and why his actions are so damaging.
Lastly we touch on how we try to ensure that our voice is worth listening to and how we vet what we say.
As always we've got some hookups for you.
Peter suggested checking out a monthly podcast called Everything is alive. It's an interview podcast but all the interviewees are inanitmate objects. It's definitely a fun use of personification and an easy listen. Check it out here
https://www.everythingisalive.com/about
Robert suggested checking out a Pastor called Stephen Cole, you can check out his sermon series on God, Money and You here https://bible.org/series/god-money-and-you

After almost a month of never having a full furnace, the whole crew is back together on this cringe worthy episode.
Rob acquired a card version of a game that has a bunch of questions and we take turns asking each other. The questions are very personal or very funny, most often both but it turned out to be a good reminder of our friendship and camaraderie and we hope after listening you have these sorts of conversations with those around you too.
We've got four hookups for you this week, as we were joined by the lovely Jemz; She recommended checking out LipFest which will be Croydon's first spoken word festival over the 27 - 28th of October.
Check out the website for more info https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lip-fest-2018-workshops-tickets-50349439529
Mo suggested an Anime on Netflix
Seven deadly sins https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80050063
Rob suggested an album by Lauren Diagle https://open.spotify.com/album/7dnYwtDQNa3xzaCoekrjL1?si=bdip7nZgTpKE9ZPuiMotHQ

Denzel famously said; "if you don't watch the news, you'll be uninformed, if you do watch the news you'll be misinformed, so what do you do?"
Well today's episode was in part an attempt to address this question.
In the post modern, post truth society we find ourselves in, how do we navigate the plethora of stories, and the intentions behind them, thrown our way on every page of every platform we engage with.
We also talk about the "filter bubble" and how by virtue of design almost every social media platform works actively to show users what they would want to see, in attempt to keep their eyes on the platform and consequentially money flowing into facebook's, twitter's and instagram's pockets
A clear sign of how Robert's absence literally results in an increase in useful information on the episode we have four hookups for you guys today.
Peter shouted out Andy Mineo's new EP "The sword Pt 2", an eclectic and content packed hip hop ep by one of the better MC's around today.
Check it out here https://open.spotify.com/album/0R1Eo8UVrKyn6Vo0rxFuNP
And a new young rapper who was featured on Sway's Friday Fire Cypher, at only 16 years old, Young Devyn is overwhelmingly talented but has quite obviously put in hour and hours of work to hone her craft and is literally one to watch in the years coming
Watch her go back to back , 16 for 16, with another upcoming rapper here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvMWTAYVQaA
Mo also had a music shout out, suggesting checking out Ghetts new album, Ghetto gospel : New testament. Though not christian, Ghetts is definitely one of the pioneers of UK grime / hip hop
Check it out here https://open.spotify.com/album/56Xgyg9JHIvevOtAhovgef

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace. Today was an especially fun one for two main reasons. The first was beacaseu there was no Robert, that's self explanatory, but more importantly it was because we were joined today by an amazing artist and one of our very first listeners, The amazing Inktrovert!
She's been mentioned so many times on the podcast is has been one of the guys really encouraging us with engagement and feedback on soundcloud so when we found out she was local we absolutely had to have her down, and she was graceful enough to oblige.
The first part of today's episode centred around a conversation I was having with a friend about Politics and Christianity and whether in an increasing secular and Areligious society if there is any space for a Christian in such a field of endeavour.
The second half switched gears and focus to social media and it's relevance and effect on our lives and the lives of the next generation whose relationship with social media is a lot more all encompassing than ours.
Of course we've got some hookups for you guys as well
Mo suggested checking out a movie by Uncle Spike Lee, Black KKK Klansman which is, ridiculous as it sounds, is actually based on a true story. Check it out here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7349662/
Peter suggested checking out the Audiobook Gay Girl Good God narrated by the writer, Jackie Hill Perry Check it out on Audible https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Gay-Girl-Good-God-Audiobook/1545906416?qid=1537126772&sr=sr_1_1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=c6e316b8-14da-418d-8f91-b3cad83c5183&pf_rd_r=PANBV5ZV7VBHV3KAW0JY&
And the lovely Inktrovert also suggested a Netflix series called Fargo which was inspired by the movie of the same name and tells compelling true crimes stories from different periods of time! Check it out here https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/70285785

It is no wonder that three poets would love anyone who demonstrates incredible skills with a pen. so there's no surprise when all the members of the furnace had strong opinions on Eminem's latest album.
Peter however, probably the holiest on the furnace, felt a way about listening to a non christian album and very much enjoying it so in today's episode we talk about the secular sacred divide and the extent to which we are allowed to enjoy art that isn't glorifying of God.
For our Hookups
Mo suggested investing in PlayStation plus as a cost effective way to get some good games every month for your enjoyment Check out what's available this month here
https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/playstation-plus/this-month-on-ps-plus/
Peter suggested another podcast called Hey Riddle Riddle where they discuss Riddles and puzzles for an hour each week. Be mindful however there's some really strong language on every episode.

Almost every person I know of African descent has the stories of getting disciplined in the most creative and largely painful ways, and today we discuss whether the beds truly justify the means when it comes to disciplining and punishing your children.
We naturally progressed on to how God punishes and disciplines us as His children and what those experiences can be like.
Mo was unable to to attend and thus a very tired and full bellied Bobby A and Peter were left holding down the Fort, which just means it was a much better conversation!
For our hookups today, Bobby A suggested a media player that allows you to listen to voicenotes on WhatsApp without sending the sender confirmation that they're message has been heard. Let's just say we're not surprised he knows of something so dodgy.
Download opusplayer here and start deceiving all your contacts with ease
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlepako.opusplayer3
Peter also suggested checking our a podcast created by Nike called Trained. It's a discussion podcast involving some of the greatest minds in sports and sports research talking about the breakthroughs being made in human performance. It's a great listen for anyone whose into any sort of physical exercise or sport.

We're talking first dates, best dates and whether or not it is wrong to recycle date ideas for new partners. Bobby A probably just wanted to know some tips on sealing the deal but couldn't come out and ask directly. Well the jokes on him in the end!

In line with this week's topic Peter suggested an app called Today Tix which helps you finding great deals on all your favourite shows in theatre. https://www.todaytix.com

Pete's back on the podcast and for whatever reason, Bobby A just wants to talk sex today.
So that's exactly what we do.
From Abstinence to BDSM we talk about all things sex and the christian and hit on some very freaky subjects today while trying to keep all things within the confines of a biblical conversation.
It's a clean conversation so no need for a 18 rating but definintely an interesting look into Sex and the Christian's relationship with the subject.
For our Hookups:
Bobby A suggested checking out QI which is a show on the BBC where they discuss "Quite Interesting" topics, it's always fun and definitely informative so give it a watch here.
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheQIElves
If your interested in interplanetary expeditions, Peter suggested a fun little podcast following the participants in a year long simulation of life on mars carried out by Nasa.
It's called the Habitat and you can find it here
https://www.gimletmedia.com/the-habitat
Mo talked about having questions about sexual immorality and finding answers on his hookup. It's a good channel you can find here.

Today's we were joined by the amazing Simi and the conversation went down two very different paths. Firstly we discussed whether boys (and girls) should be held accountable for their relationship antics when they haven’t been taught any better.
We then discussed whether ‘sorrys’ should be handed out regardless of whether you feel justified or not.
Hookups Moses shouted out Voltron Season 7 which is out now on Netflix. Simi shouted out another Netflix show: Designated Survivor. Robert shouted out Romans Chapter 6.

Today's conversation was all about friendships and relationships within and outside of our christian circles.
Should Christians have friends that aren't of the faith, and how important are the friendships that do exist with other believers.
Peter also came out on this episode, as an unfriendly christian and we talk about whether or not he needs deliverance.
we also had the priviledge of being joined by Jemz, Mo's better half on this episode. Shout out to her for just being dope

Following on from last weeks conversation on weddings and wedding rings for men; Bobby A took this episode to subtly confess and then vehemently deny that he had made his fairy tale wedding an idol.
SO today we talk all things idols, in every sense of the word.
it was a good and honest conversation and one that we pray many more people have, quite simply because creating an idol is a very easy and almost natural thing to do.
For our Hookups
Mo suggested a book very close to the subject matter of the podcast in Tim Keller's Counterfeit Gods Check it out here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Counterfeit-Gods-Empty-Promises-Money/dp/0340995084

Is marriage an outdated institution in the post modern world?
With the rate of divorce in churches equalling, or in some cases exceeding that of those not in church, we ask about it's relevance in today's world and it's affect on the community as a whole.
Following the last episode, it was a fairly lighter conversation but with two thirds of the furnace married, it was also a very personal one.
Hookups
Given we talked about wedding rings to begin with, Peter suggested for the guys to look into tungsten carbide rings, they're relatively cheaper and show next to no blemishes because the material is so hard
Bobby A suggest checking out, My Old Dutch aka Pancake house which is a great restaurant that do a variety of dishes all with pancakes incorporated. http://www.myolddutch.com/
Mo suggested a phone call screening app called should I answer which pools from web reviews of various numbers and alerts you to if it's like a telemarketer or spam call. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mistergroup.muzutozvednout&hl=en_GB

They say relationships are all about compromise and communication, but how much is too much, and are there times when or situations where sacrifices shouldn't be made for our significant others in a relationship?
That's what we started off with after Bobby A's 7 minute introduction which featured the Flash, Batman and a brief exposition on why Wonder Woman is a bad choice of partner for Bruce Wayne.
We also talked about a strange case that Bobby A found online. A girl had given her guy an ultimatum after requesting that he doesn't visist a "sleasy" club with his friends and informing him that if he does she would leave him.
Of course after agreeing to not go, he calls here the morning after informing her that he did go and was raped and beaten up after leaving the club with two new ladies to visit another party.
We discuss who's in the wrong and, spoiler alert! We do not reach a consensus!
We also had the pleasure of being joined by Angela (@angiebabez) and Stephanie (@dee.luxxx) on this episode.
Major shout out to them for coming through.
Hookups
Bobby A hooked us up today with a Book called the Lover's Dictionary by a guy called David Levithan It's a book about the story of a couple, told in alphabetical order? Yeah! Check it out here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lovers-Dictionary-David-Levithan/dp/0007377991
Mo also recommended a book series by the legendary C.S Lewis called The Cosmic trilogy Check it out here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cosmic-Trilogy-Perelandra-Hideous-Strength/dp/0330313746
Stephanie had been spent her entire week on wimbledon, her words, not mine, so she didn't have a hookup for us unfortunately
Angela suggested checking out a youtube video of a song called Clear the Stage byJimmy Needham Have a listen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6smGew7dGto
and last and definitely the least, Peter made a public service announcement. IT's prime day tomorrow the 16th of July. And it's always worth a check if your an amazon prime member or if your not the free trial is definitely worth considering to get the legitimately great deals that they do over the 36 hours of prime day. Of course it's just another ploy by big money companies to get some money off you but hey if there's a deal to benefit from why not

With Pride parade just gone past we had to very heavy conversation aroound one simple but very important question.
What would Jesus really do if he walked the earth today, as pertains to those that identify as LGBTQI?
We attempt to be as objective as possible using just the scripture to guide the debate and where there will always be more to add to the conversation, the one thing we definitely were all sure of is that Christ behaviour would be very different from the behaviour of most churches today!
Bobby A was out babe chasing or failing at babe chasing or something along those lines so he was unfortunately not around for the episode however in his absence we were joined by some very lovely young guys, Aiden and Janelle.
Both brought a nice unique to the conversation and we're super thankful for their lending their voices to the episode
Of course we had some dope hookups for you
Starting us off Aiden shouted out Kedine Fairweather's Youtube channel called A walk with him, shot and edited in part by our very own Mo, she addresses life and the bible in a really unique way so give her a shout and telll her Aiden sent you
Check it out here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoYdQ4gDMXTHA6qu3bhYjJQ/featured
Mo suggested some 75p tropical ice creams from Aldi for the lovely summer days.
I shoutted out the Streetlights App which is just an audio version of the bible read over hip hop beats you can find it on spotify here https://open.spotify.com/artist/6JrmofdhxBatsnpTA10CHB
Kedine and Janelle also have a prayer request thing on Tuesday where they take prayer requests and pray about it so feel free to slide in their dm's with some prayer requests and if led to do so they'll hit you back with any responses they got form God when they pray for yall.

Should your partners have the pin code or password to your phone? And where they don't is it offensive to ask.
Of course it's no surprise Bobby A wasn't the biggest advocate for this but today on the podcast we talk about why and if this really is as big a deal as many make.
We also talk about the unfair double standard seen in the culture where it seems much more acceptable for men to have lower moral standards than women.
We also had a very special guest today our good friend Ade from the On Court Off Court podcast was also down and it was a pleasure to have him on. Definitely check out his podcast available wherever you find ours!
Of course there's the hookups for this week.
Bobby A suggested a book he was currently reading Sex, Jesus and the conversations the Church forgot. The title says it all lol.
Check it out here http://a.co/74x4dw7
Ade had s a couple of great hookups, the first being the Atheist Delusion on youtube.
https://youtu.be/ChWiZ3iXWwM
Check out this guy challenging atheists on the existence of God, and on a lighter note, the netflix series Marlon by one of the Wayans brothers, unsurprisingly a funny series you can watch just for the giggles
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5720168/
Of course we also had to plug the podcast, check out On Court Off Court wherever you find podcasts you can start here,

Peter suggested a Verse, Acts 17:11 about the Berean Jews who would hear a message but also search the scriptures to make sure it was true. He considers this just a reminder to make sure as christians we're doing at least two things, firstly that we're not reading or hearing about our bibles just once a week at church but also that we are diligently studying our bibles and corroborating the sermons we're hearing at church.
Acts 17:11
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (ESV)

This past week has been an interesting one but for all the wrong reason.
Rapper XXXtentacion was shot and killed during a robbery earlier this week. The response has been pretty polarising. The rapper's shady past came into play in a big way and today we talked about it and about what our own feelings are regarding such heavy issues such as abuse and domestic violence
We were joined by the elusive Kevin (Jolade), the eloquent Jemz and the lovely little Leia for what was a very difficult conversation about pain, forgiveness, justice and freedom!
The conversation ran a bit longer than expected so we only had one segment this time round and had our hookups at the end.
Speaking of which here are the Hookups
Bobby A suggested watching a movie called McQueen about the life of one of the greatest fashion designers to ever work in fashion.
Check out the trailer for the movie
https://youtu.be/4OjX3ZbsfbU
Mo had a bit of a tech hookup , he suggested a pair of sony in-ear headphones, the catch being these are under a tenner and sound incredible for the price check it out on amazon here
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00I3LUQPW/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_jt7lBbR76XHFF
Jolade suggested checking out Dr Dre and Jimmy Lovine's documentary on Netflix called the Defiant ones It's the story of their rise and careers in hip hop and makes for a very informative watch
https://www.netflix.com/title/80214552
Jemz hooked up all the black women with a hookup called Black girls book club who hold events all over the country talking about books and things they learn form them.
http://blackgirlbookclub.co/
And Pete's hookup was a brand new first of it's kind Dance E-book called Ruth by one of his favourite dance couples Keone and Mari Madrid. You have to check it out!
Check out chapter one here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xuTKoiB0-4
Pete also had another hookup in the form of an artist, recently featured in the Bet experience called Tobe Nwigwe He's an incredible lyricist and has a message that is absolutely worth listening to. Check out some of his videos

Guess who came up with this week's episode title?
Easy right?
Of course it was the one and only beautiful Black beast of the Furnace, Bobby A that has tales of the babes
This time it was a bit more serious and Bobby a wanted some thoughts on how to deal with some of his interactions with two particular babes over the past couple weeks.
I won't disclose too much here but Bobby would definitely appreciate your advice so do drop a comment when you listen.
Oh and just a friendly warning, Mo meows at the end of the podcast.... yeah.
For our Hookups this week.
Peter suggested a fictional podcast called the Bright sessions. IT's essentially recordings of Psychologist Dr Bright's sessions with patients with super human abilities. It's written really well and is very immersive so give a try.
http://www.thebrightsessions.com/
Bobby A suggested checking out a movie called Memento about a man who after witnessing the rape and murder of his wife can't create ne wmemories and is on a mission to avenge his wive's murder
Here's the IMDb cover of the movie
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt
Mo had a , in his words, doozie of a hookup. It was an interview of John Piper discussing some issues with some lyrics of some very popular worship songs. It's definitely worth listening to as it provides a unique view on the words we use during worship.

I think a necessary aspect of the Christian walk should be interactions with the Holy Spirit. It can't be co-incidence that Christ saw fit to leave that the Spirit should come and be with us wherever , whenever, affording us to walk like Liverpool fans ie Never walk alone (I'm not even a soccer fan but boy have I been waiting to use that one!) Anyway Bobby A did a questionnaire that helped identify his spiritual gifts and we talked about that, what we think ours are and how they are to be used in church. You can access the test at the following link http://www.bethanyonline.net/media/WagnerModifiedHoutsQuestionnaire.pdf regardless of your position in church I think this would be a great way to help you identify some areas you might be able to help out at your local church!
HookUps
Peter's hookup was an animated move called The boy and The beast, it was the last time Peter remembers crying and is an incredible story told with an incredible animation style It's currently available on Amazon Prime Video but here's a trailer for you to check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uifJLWoWv8c
Bobby A had a culinary hookup; after recently visiting this restaurant he recommends checked out The Diner for it's great value for money and even greater food! http://goodlifediner.com/
Mo had another obscure hook up this time and it quite simply was for you guys to be intentional in consuming content and art in the manner in which it was intended to be consumed. Try it out!

It's no secret that one of hip hop's biggest artists is on the losing side of a "beef" this week, and with all of us in the furnace being avid fans of the genre we had to talk about it.
Does a culture that celebrates division and insulting each other need to change, or is it all just healthy competition.
Side note, if you meet someone on tinder and go out for a real date should you presume they have all their arms or is that something they should inform you of before hand?
We get into that after the hookups!!
Speaking of which;
Bobby A recommended watching a conversation between J.Cole and Lil Pump Check that out here https://youtu.be/RNlQU-7y9Fo
Pete shouted out a new Ep from Black Thought of the roots, he feels it highlights what he thinks rap should all be about, well crafted, skillful, intelligent BARS
And Mo recommended Lecrae's latest project with Zaytoven Get Back Right from the Mixtape Let the Trap Say Amen check the track out here https://youtu.be/9x2TWHEimIQ
Since we had the pleasure of being jjoined by Jems she also had some hookups; A book called Ordinary People by Diana Evans that she picked up recently Check out an article about the book in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/apr/11/ordinary-people-diana-evans-review-couples-marital-angst-black-mixed-race
And lastly there's a poetry event going on in Peckham called "The Mood Room" so anyone who wants some good poetry should heave over to the Unicorn bar in Peckham from 4 - 8pm on the 16th of June

The BBC created a documentary on how young Christians are using rap and drill music to lure gang members away from the streets and towards God.
It followed a young brother who was recently made a pastor at 21 and his story of salvation and now ordination.
While that's incredibly great and such an inspiring story is told it also presented a view of one of the fastest growing youth focused christian movements that was somewhat controversial especially in terms of doctrine and culture.
This was our first ever episode where we all had the documentary and had to prepare our responses on it (hopefully that showed) we had a great and edifying conversation about our thoughts on the biblical validity of some of the practices that were highlighted by the documentary and inorder to ensure we presented a fully fleshed out representation of our thoughts we actually did this episode in two parts and for the first time in Furnace history we're bringing a double episode.
This is part 2 and mostly focuses on the main subjects church SPAC nation and some of the practices that might be controversial or debatable at the very least.
Just one more thing before I go we had an incredible special guest in Ade, from my days back in Queen Mary University, who brought a uniquely gracious respective to the furnace massive thanks to him for travelling down for this one!!
And speaking of shout outs here are some hookups from the episode
Bobby A suggested the classic hymn What a Friend we have in Jesus check it out on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/1tXvtfTrtUMcGHotypx78u
Peter suggested checking out the Four horsemen in battle rap, 4 of some of the very best in the culture at the moment
here's a video of two of them in a tag team battle from last year (Some explicit content!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iBsA0xCicA&t=2246s
Mo Suggested a song by Guvna B and Melvinous check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0AMt1r7tvY&feature=youtu.be

Today's episode is definitely not at all related to the TV show looking to help families decide on relocating to Australia, but, with Bobby A's pastor leaving with his family to Sydney Australia it just seemed like an appropriate episode title.
And with that I guess I've given it away, we had the pleasure of being joined by Bobby A's pastor Captain Ashish Pawar and had a really nice conversation about his time spent as a pastor here in London and looking at the emotional, spiritual and mental challenges of making such a big change for himself and his family. Mo was busy playing pastor at his own church so unfortunately he wasn't here.
Captain Ashish has been on the podcast before and is an incredibly humble and down to earth guy and that shines through so brightly throughout the conversation.
I left really inspired and I'm really excited for you to hear it.
And just before I forget here are our hookups
Bobby A recommeneded a movie from way back called the Mannequin, it's a cult classic he suggests would be a great watch https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093493/
Peter suggested a new Podcast from the creators of the Daily Audio Bible Chronological which much like the Daily Audio Bible I hooked y'all up with a few months back it's a year long daily reading of the bible in chronological order that will get you through the bible over the course of a year http://dabplayer.com/http://dabplayer.com/home/chronological
And Captain Ashish recommended a book called Goliath Must Fall by Pastor Louis Giglio. Check it out here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Goliath-Must-Fall-Louie-Giglio/dp/0718088867
A special hookup was also provided by one of the long time listeners and friend of the podcast, the Inktrovert who suggested listening to Kaleb Mitchell's album 45 The theme is Michael Jordan and it's an album about God's purpose for us and His equipping us for that purpose so give that a listen too here https://soundcloud.com/user-814509862/sets/kaleb-mitchell-45 (Here's a link to the album but the artist himself is also on soundcloud so check him out here https://soundcloud.com/kalebmitchell )

From a conversation about the benefits of physical books vs e-books to what defines a classic Hip Hop album! Today's podcast was, for the most part, about time and what elements of art and it's enjoyment are affected by technology and the maturation of an audience.
In classic Furnace fashion Bobby managed to fit in a rant about his jam on toast woes, and back-flipping robots so it's definitely a fun listen.
As alwasy we've got some hookups for you
Bobby A suggested checking out a rapper called Joyner Lucas, check out his youtube channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUebubwSuTHfHjWJI4gCS9A
Peter suggested a new feature on youversion (bible app) that allows for shared reading plans with you and your friends Check that out here http://youversion.com/
and Mo suggested checking out another great hip hop label called Lampmode, they're a collective of rappers with a big focus on theology and have great doctrine in their songs check them out here! https://lampmode.com/

Seems hip hop's Yeezus has gone to the darkside, or should I say the light (white) side, and everyone is kicking up a fuss about it, and understandably so, some of his comments have been, well just wrong!
So as lovers of hip hop and simply being aware of what's going on the topic of this week's episode isn't so much Kanye West the individual but some of his sentiments and how they're affecting the community.
As usual we've got some hookups for all our amazing listeners. We've got another collective shout out to friend of the podcast, Inktrovert, whose incredibly t shirts are still up for grabs @ https://everpress.com/strong-uv-vibes
Bobby A's hookup was, in line with today's topic, a poem by Jasmine Mans, Footnote to Kanye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_sGUVHID-8
Pete recommended a podcast by Gimlet media called Sandra which is a sci-fi audio drama about an artificial intelligence assistant much like Siri or Alexis. (Trust me it's interesting) Check it out at https://www.gimletmedia.com/sandra
and Mo recommended a hip hop label Humble Beast whose entire roster consists of incredibly talented artists with a great message and artistry. https://humblebeast.com/

There's a lengthy apology at the start of this weeks episode, apologising for my failure as a technician and strategist but to somewhat attempt to pacify the powers that be, I'm presenting one of our best episodes to date on denominations and the state of the body of Christ.
It was from way back so the quality of the audio might not be as good as it is now but the quality of the content most certainly is.
And as I explain in the podcast this was from a time where there were no hookups so here are the hookups from the lost episode
So Stephanie (@deeluxx on the gram and dee.luxx on snap) recommended her charity of choice this year Save the bees https://friendsoftheearth.uk/bees/donate-save-britains-bees-get-your-bee-saver-kit-today
Miss Abim (@miss_luminary on the gram) shouted out gbekebaby which is a company her friends have started to help them finance their Christian school, gbekebaby creates satin sheets for babies so go support them check them out on instagram @gbekebaby
Bobby A recommended The Empire Riftwar trilogy by his favourite fantasy author get the collection on amazon here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raymond-Feist-Empire-Riftwar-Collection/dp/B00BEEA97U/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1525110763&sr=8-5π=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=the+empire+trilogy
And my hookup was the t shirt designs by long time listener of the podcast @inktrovert. She's got some incredible designs on a kickstarter like platform where if it gets enough buys it goes to print otherwise you just get refunded. This isn't paid promotion or any favour really I saw the designs on her instagram literally bought two, one for me and one for the Mrs and asked her permission to share the link with you guys so go check it out on everpress (link below to the one i got but check out the other designs she's got available!) https://everpress.com/strong-uv-vibes

How you get them is how they leave you.
At least that's exactly what the furnace seems to be thinking as Bobby A presented the main topic for the episode: #TristanThompson 's cheating on #Khloe #Kardashian
With two thirds of the Furnace married, it was a stark and honest conversation about how we would cope with cheating and being cheated on in our marriages.
In the second half of the conversation we also talked about the power of names and why some Biblical names like Judas and Jezebel aren't used much at all but then names of people like Samson and Adam who also messed up are used.
For the hookups,
Peter recommended Jackie Hill Perry's new album Crescendo which is available for pre-order https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/crescendo/1370503267?mt=1&app=music&at=11l8Pk%22
Bobby A' s recommendation is a saxophonist called Yolanda Brown https://open.spotify.com/artist/4VGGxAkrs07Y4vyCdiaxq0?si=5TGO_X9hRQyp9-RFZYYjNA
And Mo also had an album hookup that is 100% worth a listen The Unfolding https://open.spotify.com/album/7o6RlVXxc3gqUzLyCF7IAY?si=n3lWOLFkQfickh96yWBudg

In the past 4 weeks everyone in the furnace has had a birthday and it seems this has Bobby A thinking about time and it's effect on our relationships.
So in a largely hypothetical scenario we look at if we could love the same person for our whole lives if our lives spanned eternity.
With Mo and Pete both having made the vows to love their wives till death do them part it's a hard conversation to have honestly but we try our best.
Somehow we also found ourselves talking about social media and it's effect on our worldviews after Mo suggested a digital detox for his hookup.
Speaking of hookups
Bobby A suggested a worship album by Lauren Daigle https://open.spotify.com/album/14427qUMB9bZRA6wVcvbmQ?si=jMTfDY2WRN2yd0XMJtd4vw
Mo, as mentioned, suggested a digital detox as he is now taking a break from social media. but also snuck in a shout out for Timothy brindle's new single Water Judgement https://youtu.be/I1b5o_U2gy0
And Peter's hookup was Toys R Us and the ridiculous sales that are going on now they're going out of business

In today's culture of relative truth's apparently one Love and Hip Hop star, Sophia Body, is claiming everyone from Beyonce to Maddonna has or is sleeping their way to the topic, except her of course, and in today's episode we talk about how true this could be.
This lead into a conversation about aesthetics and how important this is in our society and how important it should be?
Hookups
Peter's hookup was a bit more conceptual this week just a reminder to spend a bit more time shopping around to take advantage of the thousands of pounds worth of savings that can be made
Mo's hookup was coughlans bakery chain who have, according to him, some dope donuts http://www.coughlansbakery.co.uk
Bobby A suggested checking out a rap battle between two heavy hitters on the scene at the moment , Hollow Da Don vs Charlie Clips Just a warning before you do there's a ton of expletives and content many would consider offensive so watch at your own discretion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4kiRgPdPCs

Firstly Happy Easter Everyone! Hopefully you all had a grand time during the festivities. Interestingly enough in this episode we didn't talk about Easter at all; Bobby A started us off in the deep end, addressing the recent issue of an individual having completed the minimum time spent for his 19 charges of sexual assault, having his release back into society overturned by his victims families. We talk about whether or not this was fair and what we would do. There's also a conversation about superman's services being rejected in one of the comics Bobby A is currently reading and we talk about how that translates to faith and Christ's services of salvation are rejected by some.
Hookups Mo recommened an album by Humble Beast artist Propaganda https://humblebeast.com/crooked-by-propaganda/
Bobby A recommended checking out the comic book event World War Hulk http://marvel.com/comics/events/277/world_war_hulk

It's five weeks since the highest grossing superhero movie in history hit the silver screen. That means if you haven't watched it by now you can't blame anyone for spoilers but the one looking back at you in the mirror wondering why on Earth you haven't watched Black Panther yet! (Fists across chest #Wakanda Forever) We talk about almost everything concerning the movie and ponder why the christian movie scene hasn't seen such creativity and artistry on display.
Hookups Peter highlighted another Bible application and Website called Youversion Join the community here https://www.youversion.com/
Bobby A recommended a Poetry book called First born by, in his words, the Wavy Sarah Aluko Give it a read here http://amzn.eu/cNUZAhe

t's our 100th Episode and on such an important milestone we thought it fit to talk about Milestones!
Honestly , we really need to say a big thank you to every single individual that has ever listened to the podcast. It means so much to us to know there are people out there that give us a listen and interact with us. It would be an act in vain if not for you so thanks so much just for being a listener.
Here's to hundreds more!!
We're still building up to our hundredth hookup segment but for this week:
Peter Suggested Audible as a great substitute to reading physical books for the individual that's always on the move. https://www.audible.co.uk/
Bobby A suggested a website that offers great discounts on physical books, for the individual that still appreciate ink on paper https://wordery.com/
And speaking of paper Mo, in keeping with his abstract streak suggests using pen and paper and attempting to claw back those physical activities from our increasingly digital experience.

It's Mother's day, and thus the furnace had to do a little bit of mummy talk.
It's a fairly simply one today
Happy Mother's Day!!
Just a quick one with the hook ups
Mo recommends checking out VSCO a photo editing app and computer application https://vsco.co/
Bobby A recommends checking out the youtube page Because Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvG04Y09q0HExnIjdgaqcDQ

In the wake of the HUGE scandal following Nicki Minaj's ex boyfriend Safaree Samuels' nude photo leak. Bobby A thought it fit for us to talk about Nude pictures, what makes a good one, whether or not we've sent, requested or received them, and what it means to be emotionally naked in a serious relationship.
Forgive the giggles and laughs as we take shots at each other and discuss decency and purity in relationships.
We were also joined by the lovely Jemz who provided a much needed female perspective on the topic.
In our Hookups section Bobby A recommended Vic Mensa's new Album
Peter suggested an incredible free app called E-Sword which is a rich resource for biblical study you can download for free
Mo suggested taking some time to spend in nature and observe and appreciate God's incredible handiwork
and Jemz recommended an app called Time tree for couple's who could use a shared task /calendar manager that connects to both individuals calendars and allows them to keep track of family calendars in a very convenient way.
Also a couple of special mentions :
Mo's first poetry video A walk with wisdom is out now check it out at https://vimeo.com/257800862

The furnace may have gone off the rails a tiny bit with this one, so listeners please be advised that some may find some sensitive content here!
Let's get the clean stuff out of the way first with our Hookups for this week
Mo recommended using Pinterest as an aid to the visual artist
Bobby's hookup was the definitive Black Panther comic book collection currently on sale in Forbidden Planet
And Pete's suggestion was an online course provider named StackSkills who were recently featured in Engadget as having some incredible deals available on content for a plethora of subjects and areas of interest.
Bobby A's main topic for the day was compromise in relationships. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship before understands that there's always a bit of give and take involved with being with someone. This week we talk about how much is too much when it comes to compromising for your partner.
Unsuprisingly Bobby A actually based this off his reaction to the whole Black Chyna Sextape and how much compromise can be made when it comes to sexual preferences.
Hence the rating!
Need I say more

Unless you've been living under a rock, with no internet connection , you've probably at the very least heard about the latest movie in the marvel cinematic Universe, Black Panther.
It's been described by critics, as groundbreaking, revolutionary and overwhelmingly black!! Being the very first superhero movie featuring an unapologetically African protagonist.
Now while today's episode doesn't discuss the move, you have no spoilers to fear here, the movie is set in the fictional African country Wakanda, which among many things is notable for being untouched by colonisation.
We talk about what Africa would be like if it had never suffered the horrors of the colonial years and more importantly if Christianity would have gained such a foothold in Africa under such circumstances.
Of course we also brought some hookups and this time round Mo suggested a book that takes a critical look into art and the bible Check out Art and the Bible https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/083083401X/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_uzzIAbGZ6CM6Q
Bobby hooked us up with an album, and especially a song by Elevation Worship called Here as in Heaven. https://youtu.be/IR-7O57IQUA
And Pete presented a brain training app called Elevate that he suggested is perfect for training the brain on the go. https://www.elevateapp.com/

Seemingly, The hit show This is Us is quickly becoming a recurring topic on the podcast. In the show a white couple adopts a black baby and Bobby asked the furnace whether or not we would do the same.
Inevitably the discussion evolved into one about racism and when, if ever, it can be justified...
We rounded up considering traits we would adopt from religions other than Christianity.
In this week's hookups I talked about the Google Auto app which provides a unique interface customised especially for driving. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead
Bobby suggested an Anime series with a title that translates to Your Lie in April, A slice of live anime about a piano prodigy who as a result of a curse his mother placed on him could no longer hear the notes he plays https://ww5.gogoanime.io/category/shigatsu-wa-kimi-no-uso

Ciara offers up advice from Pastor John Gray and the furnace, along with a special guest were on hand to offer up our opinions.
While the Internet, as usual, is absolutely outraged and have responded accordingly, dare I say, we had a more sober approach to his comments albeit mixed in with subtle shots here and there.
With Valentine's day looming we also look at how the day affects us now considering the different stages of our lives were currently in.
As usual we look to also hook you guys up with some things we've been loving form the past week.
Mos recommends the new Netflix series Black Lightning http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6045840/
Angela's hookup was also a Netflix series: Underground http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4522400/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Bobby A suggested it would be good to check out a youtube channel called Dope Spill that breaks down comicbook storylines and lore https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsse9rV_O6Y7lZaRQH_bcqw
And my hookup was a podcast called The Assassination put together by a journalist for the BBC World Service about the assassination of a Pakistani Prime Minister. It's incredibly produced and a really captivating story http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05r6cgx/episodes/downloads

It's a somewhat morbid thought but the truth is, everyone will die at some point in their lives! Bobby A poses the difficult question of what we would do if we had just 6 more months to live...
It's an interesting thing to note how knowing life will end makes you live it more fully.
We talk a little bit more about that and of course we go off on a few tangents, one nice one being how CNN had conducted a study and somehow managed to come to the conclusion that Cuckolding was beneficial to romantic relationships. Of course the furnace didn't co-sign this but it was an interesting find.
As has become the norm we also had a few hookups Mo's hookup with a reach of a spiritual spin was the netflix original animation Voltron. You'll have to listen for how Voltron was a metaphor for the Church.
Peter's hookup was a horror story telling podcast called Deadly Manners which caught his ear with it's incredible production and immersive storytelling.
And Bobby's hookup was a movie called The Prestige which is about two apprentice magicians trying their hardest to one up each other and be the very best.

What's the biggest and / or most hurtful lie you've ever told or been told?
That's how Bobby decided to open today's episode, so things got pretty dark pretty quickly but as always we had a fun conversation.
You do learn something new everyday too and we learned about the origin of Wonder Woman and its a very big departure from everything the character stands for today!
You'll have to listen in to find out but it'll definitely be worth your time.
The past couple of episodes have had our hookups segment and this episode shall not break from this norm, though quite abnormally we all had musical hookups this time round
Mo's hookup was the song Martyrs which was a song about, as the name suggests, Martyrs, it makes for a really intriguing story though so do give it a listen
Martyrs Feat. Json, Evangel, God's Servant and Techniq by Shai Linne https://open.spotify.com/track/0GWIKrtgWkXiaciuB8IFva?si=vezFv7tYR4u4xTvMhBRj2g
My hookup was an album by an artist named J Givens called El v Envy the song mentioned was track 11 Can't Say. Here's the album on Spotify El v Envy https://open.spotify.com/album/05ClFnS8chvUELwd3CRyZI?si=djC_MCJGQRWOpts4BaG64A
Bobby suggested the artist Sza's Ctrl (control) album. He affectionately described her as real and vulnerable, I'm guessing traits he likes in his women, here's the album on Spotify Ctrl https://open.spotify.com/album/76290XdXVF9rPzGdNRWdCh?si=vVnDnen6Rx-ohJRh6yArQw

In last week's episode we had Bobby A suggesting Dave Chappelle's new Netflix comedy specials in our new Hookups segment of the podcast.
Now while we all mostly agree on Dave being one of the very best in comedy right now, in today's episode we look a little bit deeper at some of the things he said and some of the back lash he's getting from it.
Naturally that led on to some of the things society seems to be mad at now and what our thoughts are on it.
For those of you who are new, we have a segment called hookups where we tell you about some of the things we're enjoying at the moment and this week we have three new things to share; Mo's hookup was a book called The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller, Bobby A suggested a TV series called This is US and my pick was the musical called Hamilton with a spotify hack!

Y'all haven't heard from him in a minute but behold, the beast returns!!!! Hard as it is for me to admit , we've missed Bobby A for a bit but he's back and shaking things up already with the introduction of a brand new segment on the Podcast, but more on that in a second.
We're a week into the new year and in this episode we look back on the resolutions we didn't accomplish last year and why that was the case and how we're looking to ensure we achieve everything we've set ourselves this year.
Now back to Bobby A's new segment, it's called Hookup and its where every week we share something that's been keeping us busy or motivated, or just something we like that we think is worth someone else checking out.
This week Mo shared a Poetry book called Macnolia which is about a girl who was cheated out of winning a spelling B, that tease either completely piqued your interest or completely turned you off but please do check it out! Bobby A suggested Dave Chappelle's third instalment of his new Netflix specials, Equanimity and I suggested the Daily Audio Bible podcast which just as the name suggests is an incredibly enjoyable way to get through the entire bible in a year! And a special shout out to Ade and his new podcast On court Off court which is a funny and informative look on all things BasketBall and Sneakers!!

In this episode we look back on 2017. We reflect on where we were, where we are and where we want to be in the coming year.

It's undeniably Christmas time already! The shops are talking deals, the reindeer are in season and it's stupidly cold all the time.
But there's been little to no mention of Christ so far and from all indications the "church" at large will be keeping the secret under wraps for a while yet.
So today we talk about how much need to dress up this story as Christians to make it more appealing to unbelievers and how of that hurts the message.
We also talk about how we feel about an overweight white guy getting the credit for all the gifts bought with our hard earned money!

Definitely Not Clickbait, but also not the end of the Furnace, just a conversation about endings.
Sometimes painful and heartbreaking, sometimes trivial and insignificant, one day cosmic and eternal, we dished on what an end looks like from different sides of that milestone and as believers we talk about what the end of this journey would look like in the long run
We had a special surprise appearance by one of my good friends David who had the misfortune of jumping in unprepared right in the deep end, just as planned...

As the name suggests, here's one from the vault, technically its a new episode as it's never seen the light of day but due to uncontrollable circumstances we were unable to record this past week but in effort to remain consistent, I'm posting this episode from a couple years back that focused on fear and all things halloween

Let me start with the fact that half a furnace does not mean half as much fun at all. Due to various factors Mo and Kaylin couldn't record however Bobby A and myself were sure to hold down the fort and that we most certainly did.
In Bobby's own words, any half including him is the better half so rest assured you still get a got episode.
And in today's episode we talk about Idolatry.
Not the overt clear cut, straw skirt and cahlk marked half nake guy jumping around as you might see in some depictions of voodoo priests, but the subtle and , in my opinion, more insidious idols tha we make out of the people and things in our life tha we hold dear.
We talk the cause, the effect and possibly the solution to making idols of things that steal our attention and devotion to God.
By now I shouldn't have to say that we take a ton of detours on the way, from figuring how many words Shakespeare is personally responsible for to a quick run down of the menu of dishes that i can actually cook (Only God can judge me!)

Official past the half way mark and for the most part it's been a pretty interesting year for everyone on the furnace.
So today we took stock!
How the years so far has gone, the highs the lows, and what were gonna do to make sure the rest of the year does or doesn't follow suit!
It was a really personal conversation but one we would encourage everyone to have, it's always good to have an evaluation of sorts regularly.
Keeps things in perspective....

It's Official!!!!.
There's a new voice on the Furnace and it was a pleasure to officially welcome her to the team.
You've already heard the lovely Kaylin aka Bobby A's kryptonite, affectionately recognised as his nemesis! But today she joins us in an official capacity.
Father's day has just gone past though and possibly unsurprisingly our emotional Bobby has woes with the apparent lack of fanfare the day saw in comparison to mother's day, and that ended up being our topic!

It's a dark day in London in the aftermath of yet another terrorist attack
The furnace hasn't got the answer! But we do have hope.
And that's what we talk about today, it's a hard topic but underlying everything our prayers are with all affected, all those injured, the families of those who lost loved ones, our prayers are with London and all victims of terrorism around the world!
May God bring us Hope!

As usual, Bobby A has some issue with someone and today that just so happens to be Kaylin.
What started out as his intervention for her quickly turned into one of the shadiest episodes of the Furnace ever.
No one was safe from getting a smart remark or a quick quip and with Jolade also in attendance this was definitely one of the most fun episodes we've had a chance to record.
We talked finances, saving and the concept of money so stay tuned there's definitely something for everyone.

Yeah the title pretty much maps out the conversation we had in this week's episode of the podcast.
The beautiful Anita, made a surprise visit to the furnace, and for whatever reason Bobby decided this would be a good opportunity to ask questions about why she dated and is now marrying yours truly.
Luckily for us the one and only Kevin aka Jolade also joined us today and shifted the conversation thankfully to the more painful topics of politics, racism, and how they're affecting our decisions in the upcoming elections in the UK.

This week's episode was really about religion and the youth, with Bobby asking about how best the church can engage young people.
With most of us no longer fitting into the category it was a surprisingly difficult conversation to have, especially as one main thing,that turned the youth away, was the older generation being unable to truly prescribe something they'd find relatable.
The voice of reason thus easily became the lovely Kaylin who made her first appearance on the podcast and was the youngest person there.
Well eventually that's how things turned out but before that we saw the rather entertaining fall of Bobby A as all banter was made at his expense and seems he just couldn't afford it!
This will be one to remember!!

In this week's episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace, we're joined by Bobby's pastor, Captain Ashish Pawar for an insightful, humbling and inspiring conversation about the church and persecution.
Having experienced it himself as a young man in the college dorms of Mumbai, Pastor Ashish brought a sobering practicality to a conversation most of us in the UK have the luxury of avoiding.
Thanks so much Pastor, and if you'll oblige we'll most definitely be having you back.

If you could have a super power what would it be?
That's what sparked the discussion in today's podcast and that discussion revealed very clearly how much time I must have as I already had a well thought out answer in mind.
But as Christians a pillar of our faith is the supernatural and what that could mean for Christians and thus we also look at it from the point of view of the Christian, and how much our lives should look like a superhero's in view of how much Christ's life looked like a superhero!

You know those short form posts that get sent around in WhatsApp broadcasts, or that seemingly get shared literally for the fear of what ever bad thing they promise will happen to you if you don't share them with x number of people.
Well today we took one of those posts, this one claiming to be an excerpt from Myles Monroe about the 5 things a man should be before marriage.
We discuss, as three men in very different places in life, Mo's married, I'm engaged and Bobby A's single, and we thus have unique perspectives when it comes to the topic.

This week's topic of discussion is another listener suggestion! Reverse Racism: is it possible to be racist to a white person? It was an interesting conversation that dipped into while privilege, modern day segregation and if there is such a thing as black privilege.

With mothers day coming and international women's day just gone, The Furnace jumps right out of the frying pan into the fire that is feminism.
As guys what does feminism mean and look like to us? How can we best support our ladies? and a plethora of other discussion points are addressed from our point of view.

In a rather dark and introspective episode we ask the question: what's legacy are you / do you want to leave behind?
Among other things the stark realisation that we might not be remembered by that many people outside of our families left us somewhat surprised but also spurs us on and hopefully will spur you on to think about what you'll leave behind and whether or not you should be doing something about it!

Luckily, we were blessed with the presence of the lovely Jemz of Writerznscribez.org which presented the perfect opportunity for a quick discussion of Valentines, romance, love and life as a young couple with a bouncing baby girl.
We also had the Grammys Awards and Chance the Rapper delivering a beautiful rendition of a popular Gospel during his performance, we talk about the state of his christian fandom and why we seem to jump on the bandwagon's of artists who don't claim to be christian artists anytime they mention anything even remotely Christian

Swear word replacements,
As an individual that actually does this we talk about if there is any point when it's normally quite obvious what we really want to say.
We of course go off on a number of random tangents that we hope you find both entertaining and may insightful at the same time.

As promised last week, we're here talking about the #KimBurrell situation today on the Furnace. Now for those that don't know Kim Burrell is a gospel singer and pastor and was recently supposed to feature on the #EllenDegeneres show with #Pharell. She was removed from the show when a video of her preaching against homosexuality in her church surfaced online. And since it's been a social media storm of people calling her hateful and homophobic.
Well we talk Kim and the Ellen show and our take on the church and homosexuality and as always we give our honest personal thoughts on the topic

Lastly a big thank to Jemilea Wisdom-Baako who aslo joined us today and you can find out more about all she's doing on www.writerznscribez.org
Here's one from the archives, Mo shared a question on how we share our faith, and the reason it's coming back here is for it to serve as a pre-cursor to next week's episode where we'll talk about the malarkey going on with Kim Burrell and the backlash she's received for, in the large part, quoting the Bible.
How do we share our faith and what we believe? How do we navigate offending others with our faith or challenging popular rhetoric with ideas that might seem archaic but are, according to the Bible, Truth!
It's a difficult one but we talk it out and we hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you don't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing. We're big believers in the "win-win"

and in keeping with the short and simple theme allow me to sign off with this:
Let's make 2017 glorious!

This game is quickly becoming a favourite of the furnace and though we've played it a couple of times on here, on both occasions it was in the absence of Mo.
Well this time Mo was in on the action and we have a fun and eventful game. For those that don't know, the game is actually called After Dinner arguments and it's essentially a series of questions spanning a wide variety of topics and for each question each participant has 30 seconds to deliver a concise , clear and contextual response.
Let's just say things get very interesting, very quickly and we cover so many different topics I couldn't list them all here!!
Oh and we're recording in a car on our way to a collaborative venture that will be coming your way very soon...

Last week we had another successful session of Poetry Pizza and Polaroids #PoPiPo and while it was a fun time it ended on a somewhat awkward note when a clearly high "roadman" walked in, to take part.
It was an interesting situation with some of the ladies feeling a little threatened, some of the guys feeling a bit on edge and the entire group feeling just a bit tense.
But is this how things should be? Should we, as a group of Christians, feel uneasy around someone who wasn't clean cut, or well spoken.
From all indications in the Bible that's the exact type of person Christ would be found around.
So that's what we talked about in tonight's edition of the furnace.

It's just two weeks to Christmas, and the Furnace just isn't feeling it yet.
In today's episode we talk about Christmas, whether or not we're believers in Christmas trees and Santa Claus and somehow end up talking about racism and how it affects us today.
There was an appropriate segue during the transition but your going to have to give it a listen to find out how one Earth we got from Christmas to racist in under 50 minutes.

Possibly one of the darkest episodes we've put out yet, tonight we talked about death and our relationship towards it.
We were graced with the presence of Jemilea Wisdom-Baako of Writerz n Scribez who in addition to bring some unique insights of her own, brought us back from the many tangents we took while discussing, the worst ways to die, whether or not we fear death, if we are organ donors and a whole host of other death related topics.

Today's episode is named after the would be title of the movie made about Bobby's life...
On today's episode we play question roulette again, since Mo couldn't make it and it was just Bobby and I.
As can be expected we cover a plethora of different topics and themes in the 30 seconds we have to respond to the question that gets shot.
It's fun and I'd even ask that you answer some of the questions yourself to see where you stand on some of the topics we talk about.

Robert, and his many woes, starts us off in today's episode with a little rant about why he doesn't eat salad! Random? VERY! But have you come to expect anything less?
A more health focussed discusssion than usual, we talk about food, staying fit and whether or not we could be vegetarian. Kevin (Jolade Olusanya) joined us for another fun session of The Blacksmith's Furnace.

So the Furnace is no E! News or Wendy Williams show, but as fans of hip hop and old school RnB I guess when new broke of Mary J Blige's (The undisputed Queen of RnB) divorce drama it organically became a part of the conversation.
We ended up talking about relationships, divorce, adultery, and even our thoughts on being a house husband.
Hopefully, Mary will get it all sorted and the bittersweet truth is it might even give her some good material for music.

It's Halloween tonight and thus today's episode was dedicated to all things terrifying and terrible.
Let's call it 'Fear Roulette' each member has to talk about one of their fears in turn and each round has to get scarier.
Let's just say it gets quite dark quite quickly!
But as always it stays fun as we honestly don't really let each other off easy for those things that scare us!

The Furnace is once more complete with Mo and our beloved Leia returning this week it was a welcome return to form. Now if you ever wanted an episode that shows just how random the furnace can get this would be the one! We started off talking about travel and our plans for travel, went on to talk about favourite or most desired places to live and where we definitely wouldn't and somehow ended up on our different preferences in worship artists. I guess C'est la vie!!

It's always good to get a fresh perspective on things every now and then. In today's episode of the furnace that is exactly what we did. Today Robert and Pete (because Mo is still away trying to find greek babes for Robert)were joined by the lovely Marion to talk about halloween, the black lives matter movement, and black history month. Talk about an education, it was a really informative conversation and as mentioned before, we all left it with a fresh perspective and hopefully so do you.

Mo's out on holiday this week, so with Just Rob and myself, we chose to play a game. It's called After Dinner Arguments and basically gives a variety of topics which we then Debate. We whizzed through quite a few so there's something to interest, and / or , offend everybody. Though it did provide some rather thought provoking questions.

Quite unsurprisingly everyone on the furnace would classify themselves an introvert. So in a Church culture of "evangelism" and hyper "friendliness" how do we cope.
In today's episode we talk through how we get by given our similar temperaments and how God's plan is brought to fruition in our lives regardless.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.... You can probably finish off that verse off the top of your head, today on the Furnace we talk about the practicality of Matthew 6:33 What does it really mean to seek God's kingdom first, and what does that look like on a day to day basis.

Where we normally have our wits about us during the podcast, half way through recording we realised we couldn't use the file because of circumstances outside our control(Lil baby Leia was contributing a wee bit too much) So tired, overfed and a little bit frustrated we started over and switched topics on the fly.
What we didn't realise was that combination is quite dangerous when you're actively trying not to talk yourself into trouble so in attempting to help Rob with his babe issues we had a very candid and unfiltered conversation about lust, love and life!!!

What does God's presence mean and look like to the furnace, today's topic was a good biblical look at what we understand as the presence of God in an increasingly godless society.
We were also privileged to be joined by a long term listener of the show and friend to Rob and now the Furnace, Ade, currently a student of our Alma matter Queen Mary University of London, Ade brought a fresh and new perspective to today's episode and some timely encouragement to keep the furnace burning bright.

The Furnace burns y'all, and today even hotter than usual, joined by the lovely Jemilea and a mystery guest!!! We talked about what the implications are of having so many different denominations in the body of Christ. We talk about where it stems from and what we believe the solutions would be.

Today's episode actually got corrupted so we're bring you today an unaired episode we recorded earlier on in the year.
We talked about the UK Gospel scene, Hip Hop, Christian Hip Hop and who our favourite rappers are.
If you ever wonder why we're not in any Christian Hip Hop videos today's episode is probably the reason why?
Also if you've ever wondered where Rob's infamous greeting came from, this episode was its birth!!!

After showing up late for the second time in a row, seems Bobby A's conscience isn't letting him slide on today's episode of the podcast. as the name suggests, It's About Time!
In this episode we had a conversation about Time, how we use it and we focus in on how much of our Time is spent on God.
We had a good time talking about time and ended with a few nuggets for our listeners.
We really appreciate you taking the time to give us a listen and hope you enjoyed your time listening to the episode If you did please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you didn't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing.

In his own words; "the beautiful black beast of the furnace has returned" and with him, Bobby A brings us a question with consequences of biblical proportion!
How can we trust our translation/interpretation of the Bible?
Probably one of our more difficult questions, we tell it as we see it and I think I can say on behalf of the furnace , we are all open to correction but we'll stand by our reasons why we think the Bible is the most significant, advanced, transcendent piece of literature to ever exist and why we trust it with our very lives.

On any given episode of the furnace, you're quite likely to hear Mo or Yours truly quoting or referring to something our guest has said before.
In the absence of Bobby A, who allegedly had various meetings slow him down, we are joined by Ayo a really good friend and listener of the Furnace.
With Ayo around we had two young relatively new father's and one engaged soon to be married fella and so we thought it would be a good chance to speak about the journey of becoming a Father and how it has affected the lives of Ayo and Mo and their families.
We talk about faith, education, and God as a father in today's episode and there are some real nuggets of wisdom to be gleaned from our conversation. I can at least say I'm taking alot away and I hope you do too.

In today's exceedingly special episode we bring you the much delayed, much anticipated conclusion to the conversation on the Things men wish women knew. Ofcourse we brought this with a twist, today is, friend of the show, Jemilea, 'Jemz' Wisdom-Baako's birthday and in celebration of that we had a little dinner party on a little boat on a canal in West London. And thus you join the party on the episode as we are joined by a whole host of friends and family and some usual voices as well, Yes Jolade makes an appearance.

Tonight on the furnace we had the pleasure of the company of some of the lovely ladies over at 1walktogether blog .com, Angela Sekyere, Gina Aggrey, Sarah Fynn, AJ Taylor, all came to join us as we discussed some of the woes face by today's Christian Babes(Bobby A's words not mine)
We were also joined by the lovely Angela Kumah from Colourmefreedom.wordpress.com
The ladies brought a fresh perspective to topics like, why Jesus didn't come as a woman and what it really means for a man to be the head of the household as the Bible teaches.
Seemingly everyone on this episode blogs in some capacity so check their profiles out on the 1walktogether page(linked below) and show them some love.

Last week Robert saw a tweet by Paula White, a famous church leader in america about how our words could stop God's plans. Obviously on the furnace there is a plethora of varying views and in this episode we kinda go in on each other.
The great thing about the members of the furnace, if I do say so myself, is the elevation of the Bible as the ultimate authority on such things and so what starts out seemingly split ends up in a consensus. Spoiler alert!

Public Service Announcement for all those who have been living under a rock.
The United Kingdom has voted to leave the EU. The Prime minister has resigned just a year into his term in office. The pound fell to it's lowest value in 31 years and the racist rhetoric is worming out of the woodwork bolder and legitimised by a vote which at the very least seems to indicate the worst about the Majority of Britain.

With Father's day just past we had to have a conversation about Fathers.
From absent Fathers to TV replacements to guys and girls with daddy issues we talk about the role of the Father, what it means to have one present and / or absent and our thoughts either on being or becoming Fathers ourselves.
We even asked the question: should single mothers get Father's day gifts too?
Of course we wanted a ladies perspective on such issues and we were blessed to have the lovely Nancy Mills join us as we chopped it up.

clap back verb To return a diss, particularly one related to a beef in the hip-hop world.
Bobby A is actually amazing at quite a few things, he's a great poet, he's a really kind guy, he's got heart and last time I took him to my karate club he showed he's tough too. One thing Bobby isn't so good at is keeping his tech in tip top condition,
I'd show you his phone as testament.
Given we've all got pretty decent cameras here on the Furnace, today, since morning, we've kinda been on his case about how he treats his camera, and it seems today's shenanigans were the straw that broke the camels back.
And thus in today's episode; the clap back of Bobby A! And a conversation about accountability and what it means for our community.

An article published in the Independent in May 2014 presented the statistic that there are over 240 African churches in the borough of Southwark alone. This makes it the highest concentration of African Churches outside of Africa!!
Recorded in early January we looked at what the significance of having so many different churches in one area might be and this led us to talking about why there is such division in the body in the first place.
Of course we went off on a few tangents, one of which being whether or not there is a negative correlation between the quality of customer service and the taste of the food in Jamaican restaurants.

The Furnace agreed it was about time we brought Bobby A to the front of the congregation to have a word about his unapologetic understanding of just how amazing he is!
We had a great conversation about what it means to be great, how to react to people acknowledging your greatness, where the line lies between confidence in your greatness and arrogance about it.
We also talked about false humility which is one of those things we see in the body of Christ quite often and yet is also one of the those topics no one sees fit to talk about...
So we did!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably at the very least heard the name George Zimmerman. If you haven't look it up, in 2013 he was acquitted of the murder of Trayvon Martin a young 17 year old black teenager.
His death eventually led to the #BlackLivesMatter movement which you still hear of today. Well as of the 22nd of May 2016 the BBC reported that the gun used to kill Trayvon was sold at auction and was bought for $250000.
The $500 gun sold for $250000 and the only reason simply was because it was used to kill an unarmed teenager and the killer walked free...
At the furnace we turned our attention to what the real problem here could be, we look at what it means to be black, what society projects/expects of us, the struggles we faced and potentially what the solution could be, though that will be the topic of part 2.
We were lucky to have the lovely Jemilea Wisdom-Baako in attendance and our special "political correspondent" Vincent Nimoh (@Ananenimoh on twitter) bringing some much needed alternative insights to the conversation.
and the conversation is not done yet.

This is not a review! But don't worry there are no spoilers.
Possibly the best marvel movie to date just released and unless you've been living under a rock, not including all my peeps under the rock that is Jesus Christ, you've at the very least, heard about Captain America Civil War.
The conflict in the movie revolves around authority and #TeamCAP and #TeamIRONMAN 's contrasting ideas on who should hold it. After declaring which side we're on (The Furnace was split) we talk about authority in the lives of a christian and what it looks like to submit to authority other than God

You've heard "All's well that ends well"
Well from experience I can tell you "All's crazy that starts crazy" and today we started with a story about how God, allegedly, answered a desperate Bobby's prayer by giving some poor girl an STD...
Yeah it's pretty much downhill from there as we talk about Prayer, what forms it takes and it's role in the Christian's life.

... You will be the head and not the tail...
That verse from Deuteronomy has been quoted so often to encourage Christians to expect and look forward to fame and fortune and dominance in everything they do. But is that really the case.
Bobby A brought in a quote which, in summary, said God wants you to dominate!
We talked about what it means to dominate and whether or not this truly is God's will for everyone and how that truly pans out. As usual there are several tangents that we run off on but nothign too off topic.

This week's episode was intended to be the concluding part of last week's topic from the male perspective, things men wish women knew, unfortunately due to some technical problems and my (Peter here!) lack of ability as a sound engineer we can't bring you that episode.
But it's still coming...
In its stead, however, we have an unaired episode we recorded last year in late November, cinema companies in the UK had refused to play an advert of normal people reciting the Lord's prayer and we weighed in on the uproar this sparked, going off on as many fun tangents as possible.
Major thanks to Jemilea Wisdom-Baako founder of writers and scribez and Simi Solesi of ThoseNaturalAfricanCurls.com who both showed up and contributed immensely to the recording of the originally intended episode it is such a shame we couldn't bring you that conversation.
We really hope that in spite of that, you do enjoy the episode and if you do please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you don't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing. We're still big believers in the "win-win"

It was a full on war of the sexes today as we looked at the things women wish guys knew that apparently we don't.
We discussed so many things ranging from When NO actually doesn't mean No, to why women wish guys would learn a little bit more about the menstrual cycle.
A massive thanks goes out to everyone who sent in suggestions, for the sake of time we couldn't actually go through every single suggestion but your support and participation mean so much to us at The Furnace.

In this episode we talk about Ex-es, talk about opening old wounds, it was all about those past relationships and how we navigate current and future relationships with that baggage.
Lowercase muse , Mo, is still on break this week and so we were joined by the lovely AJ Taylor (@myafricancloset) and we answer questions like how to make the transition back to friends at the end of a relationship, and if an Ex should call like Adele, whether or not to pick up in the first place...
Also Bobby A mentions and has us read an incredibly scary yet sobering passage about a woman cheating on her husband, from a book he's reading and here's the name of the book for those of you that wanna give it a read. The wind-up bird chronicle by Haruki Murakami

Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Growing up this was the first line of the parenting handbook, and from the look of things on twitter the next generation of parents are gearing up to make full use of the verse in their households.
But between stories of our own experiences and discussions as to whether or not it's still effective, in this episode of the podcast we look at the point of punishment in our lives, whether or not we benefited from corporal punishment and if we think it's something that should be re-introduced in western society.

In our last episode of February, and consequentially the last love themed episode we are joined again by the insightful Jolade Olusanya, and the lovely Jemilea Wisdom-Baako.
What was supposed to be a standard ice breaking question flipped the entire episode on its metaphorical head and we ended up having a deeply cutting, excruciatingly uncomfortable, honest conversation about how little men vocalise their brotherly love for one another and why that might be in our case.

The topic for this week's episode, "why we love to hate Valentine's day" was presented by the 1walktogetherblog.com
1walktogetherblog.com is a collection of bloggers who write about love and life and their experiences as young Christians. There are some amazing writers and some very interesting discussions on topics ranging from how cheese balls are a suitable replacement for a relationship, to why one of the writer's friends believe she is emotionally constipated. My last post on there was regarding whether or not Love at first sight is really a thing. Check them out at www 1walktogetherblog.com
We had a surprisingly sombre episode today, talking about the meaning of Valentines day, the meaning of Love and we touch on some rather personal topics. We had Nancy Mills (@Nessence7 on twitter) joining us again after last week who provided a much needed female perspective to balance out the conversation.

Welcome to the Blacksmith's Furnace, for obvious reasons we'll be talking about issues concerning love and romantic relationships throughout the month of February.
Kicking things off in what has been our largest gathering to date, and consequentially our noisiest, we are joined by Sarah Fynn of SarahFynn.com, Nancy Mills @nessence7, AJ Taylor of ankarahouse.com and Diane Ade, we talk about Fashion, Physical Attraction and the extent to which these are relevant in a Christians 'Love life'. We also discuss, amongst a host of other things, whether a modern day Jesus would get shape-ups and live as extravagantly as some of our mega preachers do today.

In what we at TBF all agree is our very best episode to date, we are joined by the amazing Jolade Olusanya and the beautiful Jemilea "PoeticJemz" Wisdom-Baako with adlibs from Baby Leia.

As usual we go on a whole lot of twists and turns in our conversation but we hope that just makes for a more fun, more enlightening ride.
