    Book Burning: Turmoil in the Toybox

    Looking for an escape from your relatives this week? Why not spend the holiday with This Fire, as Steve & Alec go on a little bit of a detour, and take an in depth look at the legendary Satanic Panic book: Turmoil in the Toybox.   That’s right! It’s finally time to expose the demonic influence of He-Man, Star Wars, GI Joe, the CareBears…(wait, that can’t be right. The CareBears?), The Smurfs…ET…..ok, so they literally just hated everything going on in 1980s pop culture. Got it.   So join us! On this nostalgic look back at the ruined childhoods of evangelical children in the 1980s, on this very special holiday episode of This Fire!

    Ep23: Are We Not All Missionaries? (9/1988)

    Today on This Fire, it’s a road show! As the Fox Bros. take a look at the September 1988 episode of Fire By Nite, “Are We Not All Missionaries?”, coming to you LIVE from sunny Guatemala!   Well…I mean, WE’RE not in Guatemala, but Blaine and crew sure are; & no impoverished neighborhood is left un-evangelized to (or un-videotaped!) as we learn how teenagers should go about expanding God’s kingdom in these last days. All that, PLUS the debut of one of the most iconic praise and worship songs of all time (not even being sarcastic here), brought to us by musical guest Rich Mullins!   Does The End Times© + neocolonialism x CCM artists on a fact finding mission  = fun and (spiritual) profit for the 80s? Find out on this very special episode of This Fire!

    Quibi: What Now?...Evangelical Churches React to the 2024 US Election

    Turns out nightmares really do come true!   As a certain puppet of the Christian Nationalist movement heads back to the White House, in this special Election 2024 episode of This Fire.   We talk about the reaction to the news from our local evangelical churches, look at some of the expected cabinet appointments, and oh! Steve has a shocking admission that you won’t want to miss.   They say misery loves company, so why not sit down with the Fox Bros. and process what comes next…

    Ep22: Satanism Unmasked - Part 2 (8/1988)

    This Fire is BACK to finish what we started, as the Fox Bros. take on Part 2 or Fire By Nite’s Satanism Unmasked special.   We’re turning over ALL the Satanic cornerstones, to uncover the truth, and finally unmask Satan HIMSELF. Heavy metal music. Dungeons & Dragons. LARPers in the woods doing graffiti….you know. It’s starting to feel like these so-called Satanists might just be a bunch of misunderstood nerds, doing geek stuff?   No, that can’t be it…   Get ready for MAXIMUM PANIC, as Blaine and crew take us on a whirlwind tour of everything that’s fit to be scared of in the year of our Lord 1988. You don’t wanna miss this one!

    Ep21: Satanism Unmasked - Part 1 (7/1988)

    It’s July 1988, and fear of “Satanic Ritual Abuse” is reaching fever pitch, and has broken evangelical community quarantine and into the mainstream. Talk show hosts from Oprah to Geraldo are inviting on “Former Satanists” to tell their audiences the “truth” about the “dangers” of rampant Satanism, taking over America.   And against this backdrop, Blaine Bartel and crew adapt these lurid (and largely made up!) stories about abuse, murder, and animal sacrifice for their teenage audience, as Fire By Nite officially tackles the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.   You’ve waited long enough, its finally time for This Fire to tackle Satanism Unmasked, part 1!

    Ep20: Discipline To Win (6/1988)

    Are you having trouble hearing the voice of God in your life? Have you…considered that you’re just not trying hard enough, and that you lack the discipline required to carry on a quality convo with your almighty Father?   That’s what we’re discussing today as Steve and Alec watch the June 1988 episode of Fire By Nite, “Discipline to Win”.   We’ve got all sorts of terrific advice on how to be more disciplined in your biblical life - sometimes taking lead from the military industrial complex! And not just that! But - THE RUSSIANS ARE HERE! As newly (well, in 1988) naturalized United States citizens Nikolai and Peter tell us harrowing tales about their escape from Soviet Russia, and their new life as CCM rock stars, in their new (Liberty University christened) band Ruscha!

    Quibi: January 6th Part II, and the Pastors Cheering It On

    We’re back with another quick bite, and this time we’re talking pastors (both local and national) that are determined to politicize their flocks, and quite frankly, lead the United States down the path to January 6th part deux…so you know, just some casual, fun weekend conversation. Election season is heating up, and Steve and Alec are here monitoring what’s going on in their community churches. And it. Is. Terrifying!

    Ep19: The Call of God (5/1988)

    ‘Our name is This Fire and we’re here to say, this eps about rap in a major way!’   That’s right! On today’s episode of This Fire, the Christian Contemporary Music world FINALLY recognizes rap and hip-hop as a cultural force that’s taking the nation’s youth by storm! It only took them until May of 1988 to do so, but hey! Better late than never we suppose.   Come to see Christians learning about hip-hop in the waning days of the Reagan administration, but STAY for a very special message that will (in theory) let YOU hear God, and specifically his calling for your life. You literally can’t afford to miss this one!
