Podcasts about Fiery furnace

For this week's episode, we're going to skip the typical Talkhouse format and give you something that I think you're going to love just as much, about a band called The Fiery Furnaces. I bet a lot of you remember, but if you don't, The Fiery Furnaces are siblings, Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger from Oak Park, Illinois, not far from Chicago. Together they put out seven of the scrambliest, catchiest rock albums of the 2000s, and then they kind of disappeared. We got contacted by a longtime radio journalist and producer of the show Snap Judgment, John Fecile, who wanted to talk to Matt and Eleanor. It turns out he had spoken to them over a decade ago, and as he'll explain, there was a very specific reason he wanted to talk to them again.

“So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him, “May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.” A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den. The king sealed the stone with his own royal seal and the seals of his nobles, so that no one could rescue Daniel.” (Daniel 6:16–17 NLT-SE)

Why do bad things happen to good people? Because refinement is part of the calling. This week, in Episode 1 of a new 4-part series called "If You Love Me", former college professor and mega-church pastor’s wife Melissa Schilling Smith delivers a bold, truth-filled teaching that challenges tradition and restores biblical clarity. Drawing from Scripture and the story of the fiery furnace, Melissa explains why trials are not signs of failure — they are proof of purpose. When the fire is hottest, the Fourth Man still walks among the flames. Discover why the New Covenant does not cancel the Torah, how obedience brings freedom (not bondage), and how to explain these truths to family and friends with love and confidence.

God's delivering power shines most as He delivers us through the fire, not from the fire. Our faith is strengthened most as we trust Him through the test not away from the test. Has God delivered you recently? Do you need Him with you now in your fire?

Daniel's friends refused to compromise. As a result, the tyrant threatened to throw them into a fiery furnace. But they would rather die faithfully than live falsely. This sermon (also released as a podcast episode) unpacks Daniel 3. It is an invitation to have an "even if" kind of faith today.

Does your fear move you away from God or towards God? Do you fear the fiery furnace or the One who made Fire?

Daniel 3:24-25 (ESV)24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25 He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”Today, I will be taking my story out of the book of Daniel. We will be looking at the specific posture of faith these men took that positioned them for God's intervention.Summarizing the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego:Jerusalem was taken captive by BabylonKing Nebuchadnezzar wanted to educate their best youth in the literature and language of the Chaldeans (highly educated class of men who serve the king)Three of the youths we know as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; who were later appointed over affairs of the provinceKing Nebuchadnezzar decided to make a statue of gold for all in Babylon to worshipShadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to obey the king's commandThe Chaldeans maliciously accused the Jews of being insubordanate to the king's orderThe king was furious at this and threatened them Nebuchadnezzar had the three Hebrews thrown into the fiery furnaceHe looked and saw four men walking around, unharmedNebuchadnezzar declared the God of Shadrrach, Meshach and Abednego delivered his servants who trusted in Him3 Faith Postures In My “Fiery Furnace” Experience1. Faith Obeys God Even Under PressureDaniel 3:16-18Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to the golden image, even though disobedience meant death in the fiery furnace.Key truth: Biblical faith chooses obedience to God over cultural pressure, fear, or consequences.Acts 5:29 (ESV)“But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.”Romans 12:2 (ESV)“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”Cliche -”WWJD?” - But I find myself asking that often.2. Faith Trusts God's Power—But Submits to His WillDaniel 3:17-18“Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us… but if not, we will not serve your gods” Key truth: Faith believes God can act but also trusts Him even if He doesn't act the way we hope.Hebrews 11:1 (ESV)“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”Matthew 26:39 (ESV)“And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.'”2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV)“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”3. Faith Experiences God's Presence in the FireDaniel 3:24-25God didn't keep them out of the fire—He met them in it. A fourth figure appeared with them, and they were unharmed.Key truth:Faith does not promise the absence of trials, but the presence of God in them.Isaiah 43:2 (ESV)“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”Psalm 66:10–12 (ESV)“For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.11 You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; 12 you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.”Matthew 28:20 (ESV)“And behold, I am with you always…”Hebrews 11:11-12 (ESV)11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

Several conservative Christians have argued or suggested that Jesus was the fourth figure who rescued the three Jewish boys from the furnace of fire in Daniel chapter 3. This episode explores the passage, identifying the unnamed figure as a heavenly angel that is described as "a son of the gods" (but not the messianic Son of God).    To view the video version of this episode, go here: https://youtu.be/ntFexsxwRMI         Visit Amazon to buy your copy of A Systematic Theology of the Early Church: https://amzn.to/47jldOc   Visit Amazon to buy your copy of Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John: https://amzn.to/3JBflHb    Visit Amazon to buy your copy of The Son of God: Three Views of the Identity of Jesus: https://amzn.to/43DPYey   To support this podcast, donate here: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks   Episode notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hLSloxEsDqcsHpHdHjBESE3hl_jV9ZkMiXYqHZfcJAo/edit?usp=sharing          Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BiblicalUnitarianPodcast       Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/biblicalunitarianpodcast Follow on X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/OneGodPodcast 

Three men stood for right even when it could have resulted in their death

Sunday, November 30, 2025 Richmond's First Baptist Church

Do you remember the first time you heard Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out? The way it began, then completely flipped less than a minute in? It was such a thrill, one that has never dulled in the two decades since. Six albums later, the Scottish band explore the thrill of living on their latest record, The Human Fear. How human fears drive us on, bolt us into action, give us a thrill. It was ripe for a big convo on Take 5.And frontman Alex Kapranos was up for the challenge. Get ready for a brilliant conversation on the songs that have shaken him in the best of ways, through his life.Alex Kapranos's song choices:1.The Turtles — 'You Showed Me'2.Dory Previn — 'With My Daddy In The Attic'3.Adam and The Ants — 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier'4.Fiery Furnaces — 'Sweet Spots'5.Pussy Galore — 'NYC 1999!'00:00 Introduction and Unusual Party00:49 Overcoming Fear: A Conversation with Alex Kapranos02:02 SONG 1: The Turtles — 'You Showed Me'02:23 The Thrill of Sharing Music04:37 Musical Influences and Songwriting10:11 SONG 2: Dory Previn — 'With My Daddy In The Attic'15:38 Parenthood and Fear18:17 SONG 3: Adam and The Ants — 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier'21:56 Embracing Performance and Audience Connection24:32 SONG 4: Fiery Furnaces — 'Sweet Spots'25:16 Touring with Fiery Furnaces and Hot Hot Heat30:36 The Indie Music Scene of the Early 2000s31:10 The Impact of Digital Music35:07 The Rise of Franz Ferdinand37:48 Memorable Moments and Reflections39:49 SONG 5: Pussy Galore — 'NYC 1999!'39:51 A Chaotic Memory with Pussy Galore43:45 Conclusion and Farewell

The story of the fiery furnace is one of the most famous in the Old Testament and one we love to tell. Beyond that, it is one of the most incredible displays of faith we see in scripture and sets an incredible example for us.

The true story of The Three Men in the Fiery Furnace could properly be called The Four Men in the Fiery Furnace, sort of. Our guest is Pastor Nate Wordell, campus pastor at Wisconsin Lutheran College. He will explain. 

This week's episode is a familiar Old Testament true story that has one of Scripture's all-time lines. Our guest to talk us through it is Pastor Nate Wordell from Wisconsin Lutheran College.

Life in Babylon was not easy for Daniel and his friends even though they held privileged positions. They were never far from having to reassert their allegiance to the Lord and demonstrate their distinctives, as the incident of the fiery furnace clearly demonstrates.

Hey kiddos!

In this Bible Story, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refuse to worship the statue Nebuchadnezzar set up, and are thrown into the fire as punishment. The flames rage but they are unharmed. The Lord protects them, and Nebuchadnezzar awes at the power of their God. This story is inspired by Daniel 3. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Daniel 3:25 from the King James Version.Episode 164: Nebuchadnezzar, filled with ego, built a statue like the one in his dream. But this one was made entirely of gold, a representation of his kingdom being eternal and rejection of what God said would happen. He ordered all the men of Babylon to gather and bow down to the statue. However, there were three men in the crowd who would not. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. These three were thrown into the fire for their testimony and refusal to bow. But God did not abandon them. Instead, He used this as a prime opportunity to show Nebuchadnezzar and the whole kingdom of Babylon His power. In response it was they who bowed to Him.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Eleanor Friedberger, best known as one half of the indie rock duo The Fiery Furnaces, has recently shifted her musical landscape, swapping out live instruments in favor of drum programming and synths for a sound that she can create mostly on her own. (Part of her desire to be more self-reliant, in the wake of the 2016 election.) On her 2018 record, Rebound, she channels the sound and energy of an experience at a very smoky 80's goth disco in Athens where they do a “chicken dance.” Lyrical inspiration came to Friedberger from a biography about the poet Edna St Vincent Millay. Eleanor Friedberger brings these dark and smoky, yet groovy and poetic tunes to perform in-studio. (From the Archives)

Steven and Ian begin this week's episode by noting the returns of two indie-rock favorites from the 2000s — Grizzly Bear and Fiery Furnaces are both returning to the road later this year (0:42). (Given that Grizzly Bear's Shields was recently inducted in the Indiecast Hall Of Fame, could this be evidence of the vaunted Indiecast bump?)The guys also talk about an upcoming fall tour from Modest Mouse and Built To Spill, and weigh the catalogs of these iconic bands against each other (7:32). Then they discuss the latest song by Alex G, a teaser for his upcoming RCA Records debut LP (19:05). In the mailbag, a listener asks whether being a music critic makes it harder to be a music fan (28:19). The guys also answer an email about Sleep Token, which makes this the second consecutive episode with Sleep Token discourse.In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the latest from the UK band Caroline and Steven goes for the Chicago guitarist Eli Winter (53:35).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.
