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!

Suffice it to say, Robert's position was, in a word, wild! F...

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.

Before 2016, in all honesty, I didn't even know what a referendum was, Cut to 2019 and the country is still in a right mess following the surprising decision to leave the European union, and consequentially the coining of the infamous term Brexit! In the 3 years that followed we've been through 3 Prime Ministers and we're now on the verge of choosing a 4th, and quite literally desperate to help th...

A full furnace once more reporting for duty!

Mo takes the Hot seat during Sorry not so...

The Rock and the Rockstar, reporting for duty to redeem an episode otherwise ruined by Roberts reckless behavior . This week's episode was a bit of a technological miracle considering the original episode was lost because Robert's computer corrupted the files! That said we do plead with you all to bear with us as the episode won't have the quality of sound we're used to ensuring. it will be back n...

Welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace.

In the wake of Mental Health week, this episode was dedicated to discussing the issue from a Christian point of view.

We finally were furnished with a full furnace friends! Man lyk Mo made his triumphant return and answered the question on everyone's mind, where has he been!

Then we got into a rather controversial topic most Christian households most probably would not l...

The Rock and the Rockstar reporting for duty once again. It was a fun conversation about cancel culture and what it looks like in the church these days.

Hopefully cancel redemption may be achieved with our hookups Peter recommended checking out a new podcast by Myriam Osei from the last episode, Journeys With.. it's a great podcast...

Welcome to another episode of the podcast, today we are joined by an incredibly inspiring young lady. She's got a passion for people and stories and so it's no wonder that at 25, she's already interviewed presidents, produced a documentary on disability and its stigma in Ghana, started a successful YouTube channel and has most recently started a new podcast. We talk about her story, her passions a...

The Rock and the Rockstar back at it again this time joined by the inspirationally insightful Captain Emma Moore, who is a Pastor at Robert's Church.

A deeply thoughtful and informa...
