The Blacksmith's Furnace

Guess who's back!!!

After a nice break the Furnace returns with full fire for you in 2021.

We hope you had a good Christmas and wish you all a prosperous and blessed New Year.

In the Sorry not Sorry of the year Man lyk Mo jumps in the hot seat and fields questions of biblical contraceptive methods and if free speech is being challenged by social media companies kicking him off their platforms.

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/](https://dailyaudiobible.com/)

Rob also suggested a podcast called the Wrongful Conviction podcast talking about people who've been incarcerated for crimes they did not commit. Check it out here [https://open.spotify.com/show/3rD9dBambpPhJCrzEEga9U?si=dWp7ej0ZTwugtyNE5l8img](https://open.spotify.com/show/3rD9dBambpPhJCrzEEga9U?si=dWp7ej0ZTwugtyNE5l8img)

Mo suggested a game called little dragons cafe as a cheaper alternative to Animal crossing for your little ones, we also get a full endorsement from Mo's daughter Leia, save some pounds here [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Dragons-Cafe-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B07F7L6WTK](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Dragons-Cafe-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B07F7L6WTK)

Some Christmas greetings from the Mandem!

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. Have a look and earn some p (pennies) filling out short surveys here [https://g.co/kgs/iaeRiR](https://g.co/kgs/iaeRiR)

Mo suggested checking out a cross platform game called Genshin Impact have a go here [https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en](https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en)

Rob suggested a restaurant that he has suggested on here before My Old Dutch (aka Pancake House) that do any and everything on pancakes

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

Peter suggested checking out the Jabbawockeez youtube channel for some very impressive dance videos [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbdkuPpLhaMO8-ASIULFFaA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbdkuPpLhaMO8-ASIULFFaA)

Robert suggested checking out one of his favourite preachers Steven Cole [https://bible.org/byauthor/98190/steven_cole](https://bible.org/byauthor/98190/steven_cole)

and an instagram account he's fan of Turned ninja that turns pictures into animated characters [https://instagram.com/turnedninja?igshid=1ht7iv2953hk9](https://instagram.com/turnedninja?igshid=1ht7iv2953hk9)

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/](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.

Have a watch here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXCAAZ8_fCM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXCAAZ8_fCM)

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](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

Mo also suggested getting some chill vibes with the Essential T-Pain playlist on Apple Music.

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](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](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](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](https://lampmode.bandcamp.com/album/the-christ-of-christmas)

and in typical Rob fashion despite the wholesome recommendations from Mo and Pete he suggests checking out a veteran grime artist Mercston's new album caleld Top Tier, have a listen here [https://open.spotify.com/album/05bq0LXKkVxhqrKsUcxfkG?si=mZ9nZS6MTxeqQsaosooo2Q](https://open.spotify.com/album/05bq0LXKkVxhqrKsUcxfkG?si=mZ9nZS6MTxeqQsaosooo2Q)

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](http://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](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](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](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80023687)

And Rob suggests an anime that has been suggested before Your lie in April available here [https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80041089](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80041089)
