The Blacksmith's Furnace

Week 2 of lockdown hasn't been fun but while we're all locked away safe and sound we've got you covered for some socially distanced silly yet seldom deep shenanigans.

Peter took the hot seat today discussing evangelism and tithing while social distancing and we went to talk all things lockdown survival from saving up for the next rainy day, to whether or not we'd resort to looting to feed our families!

Of course we have a few hookups to keep you entertained and sane in lockdown

Peter suggested checking out some free dance tutorials and classes that are being held for people in lockdown

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

Peter suggested checking out the School of Calisthenics online who've made a section of their offerings free for anyone looking to keep fit at home.

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace.

In this episode, Peter gets comfortable in the hot seat, he talks angels feelings and if fasting is relevant under grace!

We then go on to have a harrowing conversation about adultery and the extent to which our faith allows us to truly represent Christ and the church in a Hosea-esque situation. Suffice it to say, Robert's position was, in a word, wild!

In today's episode we talk about the one constant in all Life, Death. Last week the news was full of stories and tributes following the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, His daughter and a 8 other individuals in a helicopter accident.

Being that none of us is a true basketball fan we couldn't really speak to what the passing of someone as popular and influential as Kobe Bryant but we do talk of deaths that may have affected us and what responses should be to the last enemy to be put under the Lord's feet.

For our Hookups

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

Peter suggested checking out a podcast by the author of the book Mary Magdalene Never wore blue eyeshadow which was his hookup from a few weeks ago.

In her podcast The Red Haired Archeologist she bring her passions of the bible and archeology to join her on her ride to discover more! Check it out here [https://open.spotify.com/show/5XIyvDMX05Q2nqmSFA6NuP](https://open.spotify.com/show/5XIyvDMX05Q2nqmSFA6NuP)

Mo, uncharacteristically suggest a podcast called Philosophise This check that out here [http://philosophizethis.org/](http://philosophizethis.org/) and an album by Flame called Extra Nos

Lastly, Cynthia blessed us with a quote by the co-founder of Nike which goes like this:

"I tell men and women in their mid 20s not to settle for a job or profession or career. Seek a calling, even if you don't know what that means seek it if you are following your calling the fatigue will be easier to bear the disappointments will be fuel and the highs will be like nothing you've ever felt!"
