The Blacksmith's Furnace

It's five weeks since the highest grossing superhero movie in history hit the silver screen. That means if you haven't watched it by now you can't blame anyone for spoilers but the one looking back at you in the mirror wondering why on Earth you haven't watched Black Panther yet! (Fists across chest #Wakanda Forever) We talk about almost everything concerning the movie and ponder why the christian...

t's our 100th Episode and on such an important milestone we thought it fit to talk about Milestones! Honestly , we really need to say a big thank you to every single individual that has ever listened to the podcast. It means so much to us to know there are people out there that give us a listen and interact with us. It would be an act in vain if not for you so thanks so much just for being a liste...

It's Mother's day, and thus the furnace had to do a little bit of mummy talk. It's a fairly simply one today Happy Mother's Day!! Just a quick one with the hook ups Mo recommends checking out VSCO a photo editing app and computer application https://vsco.co/ Bobby A recommends checking out the youtube page Because Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvG04Y09q0HExnIjdgaqcDQ and Peter suggested...

In the wake of the HUGE scandal following Nicki Minaj's ex boyfriend Safaree Samuels' nude photo leak. Bobby A thought it fit for us to talk about Nude pictures, what makes a good one, whether or not we've sent, requested or received them, and what it means to be emotionally naked in a serious relationship. Forgive the giggles and laughs as we take shots at each other and discuss decency and purit...

The furnace may have gone off the rails a tiny bit with this one, so listeners please be advised that some may find some sensitive content here! Let's get the clean stuff out of the way first with our Hookups for this week Mo recommended using Pinterest as an aid to the visual artist Bobby's hookup was the definitive Black Panther comic book collection currently on sale in Forbidden Planet And Pet...

Unless you've been living under a rock, with no internet connection , you've probably at the very least heard about the latest movie in the marvel cinematic Universe, Black Panther. It's been described by critics, as groundbreaking, revolutionary and overwhelmingly black!! Being the very first superhero movie featuring an unapologetically African protagonist. Now while today's episode doesn't disc...

Seemingly, The hit show This is Us is quickly becoming a recurring topic on the podcast. In the show a white couple adopts a black baby and Bobby asked the furnace whether or not we would do the same. Inevitably the discussion evolved into one about racism and when, if ever, it can be justified... We rounded up considering traits we would adopt from religions other than Christianity. In this week'...

Ciara offers up advice from Pastor John Gray and the furnace, along with a special guest were on hand to offer up our opinions. While the Internet, as usual, is absolutely outraged and have responded accordingly, dare I say, we had a more sober approach to his comments albeit mixed in with subtle shots here and there. With Valentine's day looming we also look at how the day affects us now consider...

It's a somewhat morbid thought but the truth is, everyone will die at some point in their lives! Bobby A poses the difficult question of what we would do if we had just 6 more months to live... It's an interesting thing to note how knowing life will end makes you live it more fully. We talk a little bit more about that and of course we go off on a few tangents, one nice one being how CNN had condu...

What's the biggest and / or most hurtful lie you've ever told or been told? That's how Bobby decided to open today's episode, so things got pretty dark pretty quickly but as always we had a fun conversation. You do learn something new everyday too and we learned about the origin of Wonder Woman and its a very big departure from everything the character stands for today! You'll have to listen in to...

In last week's episode we had Bobby A suggesting Dave Chappelle's new Netflix comedy specials in our new Hookups segment of the podcast. Now while we all mostly agree on Dave being one of the very best in comedy right now, in today's episode we look a little bit deeper at some of the things he said and some of the back lash he's getting from it. Naturally that led on to some of the things society...

Y'all haven't heard from him in a minute but behold, the beast returns!!!! Hard as it is for me to admit , we've missed Bobby A for a bit but he's back and shaking things up already with the introduction of a brand new segment on the Podcast, but more on that in a second. We're a week into the new year and in this episode we look back on the resolutions we didn't accomplish last year and why that...

It's been a while and major apologies for the inconsistency, but we're back just in time for the new year and in true new year new me style, we're looking to be better than ever In this episode we look back on 2017. We reflect on where we were, where we are and where we want to be in the coming year. Here's to another year in the bag, and more of whatever makes you glad!! Cheers!!! We hope you enj...

It's undeniably Christmas time already! The shops are talking deals, the reindeer are in season and it's stupidly cold all the time. But there's been little to no mention of Christ so far and from all indications the "church" at large will be keeping the secret under wraps for a while yet. So today we talk about how much need to dress up this story as Christians to make it more appealing to unbeli...

In today's episode the better half of the Furnace, Mo and Pete, talk about swords, sign and symbols, and interestingly enough the Blacksmith Furnace talks a tiny bit about blacksmiths..
