This Fire

SEX!!

Now that we've got your attention, this week's episode of This Fire is all about that which is most awkward to discuss in a church setting - 'Sex, Dating, & Relationships'. Join Steve and Alec as they attempt to navigate the messy relationship Fire By Nite (and by proxy the evangelical church) has to that most delicate of subjects. Marvel as Blaine and crew are able to steer skit after skit into deeply homophobic territory. Recoil in horror at the transformation of resident sit-com 'Family First's' main character, into a chauvinist, controlling psychopath. It's everything you've ever needed to know about sex and dating, rolled into a feature length podcast episode!

We’re back, and ready to PUMP. YOU. UP. With “The Power of Faith”! On today’s episode of This Fire, Steve and Alec take a look at Fire By Nite’s manual for harnessing the power of prayer for fitness and fortune. With strong enough faith, you TOO can defeat debilitating illness, have stolen property returned to you, and learn to manifest miracles with ease. We also visit with evangelical bodybuilder John Jacobs and The Power Team, as we start to slide headlong into the satanic panic proper, and learn that even with all the evil and suffering in the world, God will always be there to help you break out of a pair of handcuffs to impress an arena of slack jawed onlookers.

Oh, and before we forget! Feel free to stop by our new official website acquirethisfire.com, where you can download the show and drop us a line and give us YOUR thoughts on today’s epsiode. Do you have memories of watching Fire By Nite as a kid? Did you grow up during the satanic panic? Do you have scathing criticisms of our podcast format? We would love to hear from you!

We. Are. Back. After a short break Alec and Steve are in the saddle once more and ready to win some souls, as Fire By Nite (and by proxy This Fire) takes a look at everyday techniques YOU can use to save your friends from an eternity of sulfur and brimstone. Plus, did we mention skiing?! Because on this week's episode the FBN crew, and special musical guest Russ Taff, take over beautiful Winter Park Colorado for Youth Express '87! Which absolutely, positively in no way was just an excuse to shoot at a location where Blaine could get his downhill jam on! So get your snowpants and lift ticket ready, cause we're about to save some souls - on the slopes!

ITS ROCK ’N’ ROLL BAY-BAY!

Wearing head to toe leather. Chopping out tunes on the ol’ axe. Shreddin’ hot licks trying to impress the girl working the register at the Guitar Center. For some it’s just background music, for others it’s the only way of life. But did you know that if you’re not careful, those sick solos and drum fills can take over, and lead you down a path of degeneracy and Godlessness?

On today’s episode of This Fire, punk out with Steve and Alec as they trip the light fantastic and sample some of the “heaviest” Christian rock 1987 had to offer. Find out what Fire By Night had to say about the influence rock (and or) roll had over America’s youth, and stick around for the dulcet tones of one Mr. Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart. We promise this episode does not go off the rails, and 100% guaranteed delivers the TRUTH about Rock and Roll.

THE END IS HERE!…..Uh, I meant NEAR. I mean, SOON right?

On this super-sized episode of This Fire, Steve and and Alec examine Fire By Nite’s first crack at the end times, and discover “How to Face the Future”. It’s an episode that’s chock full of useful information: How to make sure your car doesn’t mow down pedestrians if you happen to be raptured while driving. What to do if the rapture happens and it turns out you weren’t on the guest list. Plus, discover the perfect amount of anxiety you should carry with you every day about the impending end of times. All this AND a special musical performance by CCM royalty DeGarmo & Key! Listen today, you might not have tomorrow!

Feeling low? Down in the dumps? Depressed? This Fire has got you covered! Join Steve and Alec as they subject themselves to episode 5 of ‘Fire By Nite’, and some of the…best…mental health advice the evangelical church of 1987 had to offer. Spoiler alert, your depression MAY be caused by direct influence from the Prince of Darkness™️ himself. Big yikes! But it’s not all bad news, we also sample the musical stylings of preeminent Christian rock band Petra, and even a music video from a little known artist, one Ms. Amy Grant. If that’s not reason to smile I don’t know what is - and remember, no matter how you’re feeling inside, you should at least try and smile. You’re prettier when you smile.

On the premiere episode of This Fire, Steve and Alec crack into a refreshing ice cold bottle of Fire By Nite, and discuss the perils of Peer Pressure. Do the violent whims of an authoritarian government count as "peer" pressure? Why exactly are we talking about this almost 40 year old show aimed at Christian teens? Did Steve in fact peer pressure Alec into recording this show in the first place? All questions are answered inside!
