TBF 229 From PS5 to Prison

The Blacksmith’s Furnace · TBF 229 From PS5 to Prison

Welcome to another episode of the Furnace, Mo took the Hot seat this week and Pete came swinging with questions about the holiness or lack thereof in the choice to purchase a PS5 and Rob follwoed with a question about earthly possessions and riches and how to discern if they’re from God or the enemy.

We go on to talk about the Justice system in the UK and new propositions to lower the qualifying age for Death penalties to 18. This lead to a discussion about if 18 years is truly long enough to call one an adult.

For our Hookups Mo suggests that everyone buys a PS5, these sentiments are not shared by the entirety of the Furnace or the Ordinary Amazing. Peter suggested checking out a podcast called Process about productivity check it out here https://effectiveremotework.com/category/process/

In an act of defiance Peter also suggested checking out an interview that Mo was a part of on Instagram discussing male sexuality: Check it out here https://www.instagram.com/tv/CFIZ6_4JerR/?igshid=19xk8nwve5ltx

and Rob suggested checking out a restaurant called My Old Dutch who do all kinds of pancakes! have a nibble here http://www.myolddutch.com/

TBF 228 Boys will be Boys

The Blacksmith’s Furnace · TBF 228 Boys Will Be Boys

Hey there, welcome to another episode of the Blacksmith’s Furnace with Rob, Pete and Man lyk Mo.

This week we’re out here talking about how Boys will always be boys.

In Sorry Not Sorry Pete assumed the position in the hot seat and discussed contacting our ancestors spiritually, Why Elijah was present during the transfiguration of Christ, instead of Elisha who performed twice as many recorded miracles and if the people who flip the switch or administer the lethal injection to inmates on Death row are guilty, in the eyes of the Lord, of murder / sin.

Today’s conversation starts in a gentleman’s club and goes on to be a discussion on if gender specific spaces are still necessary in today’s society and culture of apparent “indiscriminate inclusion”.

For our hookups Peter stays on theme with a rated R tv series available on Amazon Prime Video called The Boys have a watch if you dare here https://www.amazon.com/The-Boys-Season-1/dp/B07QNJCXZK Mo brought back the sacred with Lecrae’s latest album Restoration check it out here https://lecrae.com/

and Rob suggested a couple of Children’s books by , Kofi and Ama’s International day and Fatima and Maame Water’s secret have a gander here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reading-Planet-International-Orange-Galaxy/dp/1510486887/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=marcelle+akita&qid=1599830532&sprefix=Marcelle+&sr=8-2

TBF 227 Long Live the King

The Blacksmith’s Furnace · TBF 227 Long Live the King

Last week the world was shocked by the passing of Chadwick Boseman, the surprise being made all the worse by the revelation that in private he had battled colon cancer for the past 4 years all the while bringing us great movies, the most impactful being Marvel’s Black Panther.

Today we discuss death, legacy and the impact he and Black Panther had on our lives and on society and we talk about giving roses to those around us while we can, and working through pain to achieve one’s goals and purpose.

Rob took the hot seat during Sorry Not Sorry and discussed the hypothetical question, what if Jesus isn’t God, and Peter asked him how he’d practically lived out his Christianity that day!

Delphine & Eric’s First Anniversary

One year down, an eternity to go!

There’s alot to be learnt about marriage from these two, I couldn’t help but notice the maturiy of the dynamic of their interactions.
The way they understood more than just what the other person was saying.  I tend to prefer capturing events because it’s easier to be the fly on the wall capturing real emotions but when it came to capturing these moments, a year after their wedding at the same location they had their reception, I must say the emotions were very real and it was a pleasure to try and freeze those moments in time for them.

Congratulations on your anniversary guys, such a pleasure to be able to take these pics and create this milestone of your journey together.                 

TBF 224 Role Models Don’t Wap

The Blacksmith’s Furnace · TBF 224 Role Models Don’t WAP

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.

Mo’s question was about how Christ’s friends may have affected him in the light of proverbs like, Birds of a feather flock together, considering Christ was found mostly amongst sinners.
