9 JUN 2024 · Hey girl (or boy). We here at This Fire just want you to know that (*bites lip*) we’re ready to finally settle down and be truly committed to you, the listener. What is it that gave us the courage to make such a grown up decision about our pod/pod-ee relationship?   Why it was none other than having watched Fire By Nite’s January 1988 episode, all about ‘Being Truly Committed’. With the help of Blaine and crew we’ve gained a whole new perspective on how to demonstrate commitment. With great strategies like: Pray more. And “submit totally” to your master. And “be a prisoner of Jesus” (no really, that’s a real quote from the episode).   All this hot commitment action PLUS, we review part 1 of a very special 2-part Family First where Doug’s girlfriend Cheryl finds her soul hanging. In. The. Balance. 1988 is going to be a wild year on Fire By Nite, and it starts RIGHT HERE on today’s episode of This Fire.

30 APR 2024 · This month, we look at Fire By Nite’s guide to ‘raising’ your parents.   What do you think ‘raising’ means in this context? We guarantee you didn’t guess correctly! This episode is about honoring your parents in all things, even when said parents fall...shall we say, woefully short of being worthy of said honor…its complicated, and to be honest a little depressing. But hey! We also find out the fate of one Clarence Stanley, after his brush with death in last month’s Family First segment. So there’s something to look forward to, that totally won’t disappoint literally everyone!   If you’re looking for a bright spot though, we also get to experience the effervescent vocal stylings of CCM siren (and former Miss America finalist) Kim Boyce!   All this and much, much, more on this super-sized, kid tested/parent approved, episode of This Fire!!

17 APR 2024 · This week, we’re back in therapy with a 2nd round of the (fraudulent) 1980 epic ‘Michelle Remembers’!   This time we learn more about the depths of depravity that incel prince of darkness Malachi is willing to stoop to. We feel the sizzle as Michelle and Dr. Lawrence’s relationship gets….cozier. AND we reveal the answer to the question that’s been on everyone’s mind: ‘What is “The Lump”?’ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of child abuse, sexual assault, and (supposed) Satanic ritual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

6 APR 2024 · Turn around bright eyes! Its another This Fire Quibi!   This time we're turning our eyes to the skies, as the impending total solar eclipse, and prophesies being fulfilled world wide, potentially herald THE END!   So I guess what we're saying is that this may be our last episode? I guess if we don't see you next week, then thanks for being a listener!   Oh, and this episode features some adorable red haired cows! Which I'm sure won't have anything inhumane happen to them...no sir-ee-bob...

31 JAN 2024 · They say “to err is human”. But if we were made in God’s own image, does that mean he himself is prone to making mistakes? This week Steve and Alec ponder the imperfection of mankind, as they review the September 1987 (1st Anniversary!) episode of Fire By Nite, ‘Nobody’s Purfekt’.
