Man lyk and the man the gals lyk representing the furnace in today’s episode. Pete was unable to make due to, in Rob’s words “having his priorities all wrong!” Mo was equally disgusted by Pete’s choice to be at church instead of Podcast but the Lord forgives and charges us to do so as well so hopefully no hard feelings!
In Sorry Not Sorry we had a one for one sessions, with Rob kicking it off with a question about if the Holy Spirit can leave and return to a believer based on how they are living their life.

Welcome to another edition of the Furnace, today Pete jumped in the hot seat and dealt with questions regarding if the apostle Peter would be denied entry into heaven by virtue of his denial of Christ and how the “many” in Matthew 7:22 could ensure they do gain entry into the same.

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace, Mo took the hot seat this week addressing topics on if we would still have free will in heaven and giving his two cents on a Christian subreddit post by a gay agnostic who asked for prayer to 1. become straight and 2. hear directly from God so he can believe.
Rob then led a conversation on how our relationship with money has been affected by our being married.

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace. Firstly we’d like to honor and appreciate all the fathers and father figures out there and wish you a Happy Fathers day. We hope we see more and more good fathers coming up and making a difference.
With the episode recording on Father’s day of course we had to talk about all things Fatherhood and we specifically address if there’s an agenda against fathers, and against black fathers specifically as that’s what we have most experience with.
Peter took the seat today and dealt with questions around why Christ felt it necessary to pray for forgiveness for those who crucified him when he was dying for their forgiveness anyway, and what the significance of Peter being prayed for By Christ in Luke 22 was in comparison to Judas who also ended up messing up.
That was a fun Sorry Not Sorry Continue reading TBF 216 The Fatherhood Agenda
