14 NOV 2024 · 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…
3 NOV 2024 · 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!
19 OCT 2024 · 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!
1 OCT 2024 · 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!
22 SEP 2024 · 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!
18 SEP 2024 · ‘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!
29 AUG 2024 · Everyone is always looking for that sure thing. That personal victory. That dub with the immaculate vibes.
Well, if you’re interested - Steve and Alec may have discovered just such a thing, as the bros. sit down and watch the April 1988 episode of Fire By Nite, titled “If God is For You (Who Can Be Against You?)”.
You’ll see that with the power of God, you’ve already attained victory over any trials and tribulations that may come into your life. All you have to do is claim it!!……oh, and by the way, while you’re enjoying that tick mark in the W column…God (via Blaine and crew) do have a favor to ask...if its at all possible, do you think you could you work on convincing your representatives in Washington to push for a constitutional amendment to force prayer into public schools? It would be really cool if you did…pleeeeease?
That’s right! Its The Law of Attraction meets Christian Nationalism, on this very exciting episode of THIS FIRE!
13 AUG 2024 · On today’s episode, we take a break from our regularly scheduled programming, to bring you something a little different:
Steve and Alec get out of the studio, and head down to Six Flags over Darien Lake, where they are live ON LOCATION broadcasting from Christian music festival - Kingdom Bound 2024!
They take in the sights, ride some roller coasters, go to seminars, and try to get perspective into just what’s happening in the CCM world today. Does Alec (a neophyte to the evangelical world) feel like a fish out of water? Does the festival live up to Steve’s childhood nostalgia? For the answer to these questions and more, join us on this very special episode of This Fire!
29 JUL 2024 · TEMPTATION! Ever since Eve took that first bite way back in the Garden of Eden 6000 years ago, it’s been something humanity has ceaselessly struggled with.
Lucky for us, we have Blaine Bartel and Fire By Nite to give us the 411 on how to break the demonic bonds of temptation, and in just under an hour! Imagine if Eve had had a VCR/TV combo back in the garden. Could have saved us some trouble, eh?
OH! And you’re not gonna wanna miss this, as Blaine starts going full televangelist, and heals his diabetic viewers of their condition! Benny Hinn would be proud!
So give into YOUR temptation, and press play on this decadent, milk-chocolate covered, episode of This Fire! So good, it’s almost sinful.

7 JUL 2024 · Content Warning: This episode contains discussion about suicide & self-harm. Listener discretion is advised.
On today’s episode of This Fire, Steve and Alec tackle Fire By Nite’s first ever VERY SPECIAL episode - ‘Don’t Say Suicide’.
Join us as we explore the evangelical community’s surprisingly thoughtful take on just what caused the suicide epidemic of the 1980s…..just kidding. They blame it all on rock music and secular movies. But at least we get to enjoy the dulcet tones of musical guest Rick Cua (finally!).
As you can imagine, this is a heavy one. If you or anyone you care about is struggling with suicidal ideation, you can dial 988 to reach the National Suicide Lifeline for free crisis resources.
