Welcome to another episode of the furnace. We hope your keeping safe, and we hope we can bring you a little bit of entertainment, mixed in with some truth in these weird weird times.

Speaking of weird times, Rob had a bit of a weird time in the Hot seat for Sorry not sorry. He answered questions on How the bible answers the question "How can I know God's will for me from a book written thousands of years before I was even born?" and debates on if Acts is a sufficient account of the early Church considering it was mainly one persons account.

For Hookups Peter suggested checking out John Krasinski's YouTube channel "Some Good News" for a weekly dose of feel good goodness

We go on to talk about the infamous rapper Tekashi Six Nine who was recently released from Prison and has gone right back to the lifestyle and persona that got him in trouble in the first place and whether as Christians, are we expected to also submit to some of the tenets of our culture like the unspoken rule of "No Snitching"
