The Blacksmith's Furnace

Today the Furnace discussed the importance of representation in video games, if chivalry has any place in today's society and whether men should still be the primary pursuers.

Moses was in the hot seat this week, talking about how the Church should respond to African ideals of respect to elders and if the Bible contradicts itself.

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.

Peter was in the hot seat this week, giving his opinion on whether Lecrae has sold out and what advice he would give to Christians who have trouble viewing God as Father because of their experiences with their earthly dads.

In today's episode, Robert and Moses use the current and hardly spoken controversy as a springboard to discuss who and under what circumstances should those in leadership be held accountable for their actions and words.

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.

Robert suggested checking out a YouTube channel called Jubilee that provides a platform for people to have a deeper understanding of others

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

Whilst in the hot seat, Emma explained why she believed it is alright for women to be preachers and ministers. She then gave a rundown of her faith journey, what brought her into ministry, the struggles that she’s come up against being a female officer and a whole plethora of other topics.

Emma hook up was the channel four documentary 100 Vaginas - https://www.channel4.com/programmes/100-vaginas

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

Rob also wanted to represent the ratchet spectrum of life and thus suggested checking out Beyonce's Lemonade which is now available on spotify
