First things First. We're so sorry we left you without an episode last week, things just couldn't align but we'll be sure to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Now... welcome all to another episode of the Blacksmith's Furnace. In trying to put things right, it's a full furnace today and we spray from the hip for Sorry not Sorry with everyone throwing a grenade of a question on to the Hot seat

Peter starts the onslaught with a classic apologetics style question pondering where Cain got his wife from.  Rob follows suit wondering why John was the only don who felt it important to point out he was the disciple that Christ loved. Mo finished off asking what we think the mission of the Church is from God's point of view and in carrying out that mission how do we interact with those who've been hurt by different expressions of that mission.
We then go on to talk about the recent comments from BBC's diversity chief regarding Idris Elba's portrayal of Luther which insinuated that because the character didn't fit enough stereotypes it wasn't authentically black. We discuss whether black media will ever work if such stereotypes aren't continually presented.

For our Hookups Peter suggested a new show  called The Chosen which is likely one of the best portrayals of the Gospels ever done! Have a watch here [https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen](https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen)

Mo suggested checking out an old school song from Israel Houghton and the New breed called Here I am to worship if you endured Rob's mercifully short but despicable rendition of the song and would like to cleanse your aural pallette have a listen here  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULwKXfTQXE4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULwKXfTQXE4)

And Rob suggested watching an old school movie called Memento check out the trailer here [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/)

Trip Lee's new song expresses how he feels about the recent tragedies in Ferguson and NY. He's left thinking, "It could've been me."

Playaz Inheitance feat Kyra De

For some unknown reason,  making chicken soup makes Bobby A contemplate sperm donation and thus naturally that's what we open with in this episode of the furnace! 

We move on to babies with three parents, genetically modified foods  and end up,  somehow,  talking about  make up!
Its your usual mix of specific randomness from the furnace and Jemz, all to the glory of God!

Today's episode is definitely not at all related to the TV show looking to help  families decide on relocating to Australia, but, with Bobby A's pastor leaving with his family to Sydney Australia it just seemed like an appropriate episode title.

And with that I guess I've given it away, we had the pleasure of being joined by Bobby A's pastor Captain Ashish Pawar and had a really nice conversation about his time spent as a pastor here in London and looking at the emotional, spiritual and mental challenges of making such a big change for  himself and his family.
Mo was busy playing pastor at his own church so unfortunately he wasn't here.

Captain Ashish has been on the podcast before and is an incredibly humble and down to earth guy and that shines through so brightly throughout the conversation.

I left really inspired and I'm really excited for you to hear it.

And just before I forget here are our hookups

Bobby A recommeneded a movie from way back called the Mannequin, it's a cult classic he suggests would be a great watch

Peter suggested a new Podcast from the creators of the Daily Audio Bible Chronological which much like the Daily Audio Bible I hooked y'all  up with a few months back it's a year long daily reading of the bible in chronological order that will get you through the bible over the course of a year

And Captain Ashish recommended a book called Goliath Must Fall by Pastor Louis Giglio. Check it out here

A special hookup was also provided by one of the long time listeners and friend of the podcast, the Inktrovert who suggested listening to Kaleb Mitchell's album  45
The theme is Michael Jordan and it's an album about God's purpose for us and His equipping us for that purpose so give that a listen too  here

I hope you like my smooth jazz mix.  I am new to djing so my transition into each track is not as smooth as the jazz!

I intend to do many more of these mixes, as I need the practice, and I hope I continue to soothe your ears!
