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.

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.

Message from Aaron Elmore on September 21, 2025
In Daniel 3, we're challenged to examine our own faith in the face of modern-day 'Babylons.' The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refusing to bow before Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue isn't just ancient history—it's a vivid illustration of unwavering faith that speaks to us today. We're reminded that the pressures to conform to cultural idols—success, image, influence—are ever-present. But like these three men, we're called to stand firm in our convictions, even when facing our own 'fiery furnaces.' Their declaration, 'even if He does not save us, we will not serve your gods,' challenges us to examine the depth of our own faith. Are we willing to trust God regardless of the outcome? This message urges us to consider what 'music' we're listening to in our lives and what 'statues' we might be tempted to bow before. It's a call to courage, integrity, and uncompromising faith in a world that often demands our allegiance to lesser gods.ChaptersChapter 1: The Golden Statue and Nebuchadnezzar's Decree0:00 - 6:00Introduction to Daniel 3 and the context of Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue.Chapter 2: The Courage of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego6:00 - 12:00The refusal of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to bow down to the statue.Chapter 3: The Fiery Furnace and God's Deliverance12:00 - 18:00God's miraculous intervention in the fiery furnace.Chapter 4: Modern Applications and the Call to Stand Firm18:00 - 24:00Applying the lessons from Daniel 3 to modern Christian life.Keywords#Babylon#Idolatry#Faith#Courage#Nebuchadnezzar#ShadrachMeshachAbednego#FieryFurnace#StandingFirm#CulturalPressure#Compromise#DietrichBonhoeffer#ConfessingChurch#Persecution#Obedience#GodsFaithfulness#Conviction#Remnant#BiblicalTruth#CancelCulture#Discipleship

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)
In a culture that tried to reshape everything about them, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood firm in quiet defiance, refusing to bow. This week, we'll dive into the story of their bold obedience in Babylon and how their actions spoke louder than words. When the fire raged and the pressure mounted, it revealed the power of a God who shows up in the furnace. If you've ever felt alone in the fight to stay faithful, this is your reminder: the fire can't destroy you when Jesus is in it.
Message from John (Phud) Chambers on July 6, 2025
How do you know if you're on fire?If your faith has never gotten you in trouble then your faith is probably in trouble. Listen in to discover if you have more in common with those in the furnace or the wicked king who put them there.

Sermon Summary: "The Fiery Furnace" - Daniel 3:8-30 Series: Unshakeable Main Message: True faith chooses obedience to God regardless of consequences, trusting His presence and power even in the fire. Overview What do you do when following Christ means losing everything? This sermon explores the powerful story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who faced a life-or-death choice: bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue or be thrown into a blazing furnace. Their response reveals what it means to have truly unshakeable faith. Key Points 1. Faithful People Refuse to Compromise, Even When Everyone Else Does When the music played and thousands bowed down, three men remained standing. They understood that following God sometimes means standing alone, and that some things are non-negotiable. Popularity is not worth your soul, and conformity is not worth your conscience. 2. Faithful People Trust God's Power Even When Deliverance Isn't Guaranteed Their remarkable response to the king included the profound statement: "Our God is able to deliver us... but even if he does not, we will not serve your gods." This reveals "even if" faith—trusting God's character even when we can't see the outcome. 3. God's Presence Transforms Our Trials and Displays His Glory The furnace heated seven times hotter became the place where God's presence was most evident. A fourth figure—possibly Christ Himself—walked with them in the fire. God didn't deliver them from the trial by preventing it; He delivered them through it by joining them in it. 4. Faithful Witness Transforms Those Who Oppose Us The same king who mocked their God ended up calling Him "the Most High God" and promoting the three men to higher positions. Their faithfulness under pressure became a powerful testimony to God's reality and power. Applications Identify Your Biblical Non-Negotiables: Determine now what you will and won't compromise on before the pressure comes. Develop "Even If" Faith: Practice trusting God even when you can't see the outcome, starting with smaller trials to build your faith. Conclusion The same God who walked with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the furnace walks with us in our trials today. The choice is ours: will we bow down to pressure or stand up in faith? Our faithfulness in the fire becomes a testimony to others about who God is.
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.

The Book of Daniel - Chapter 3 - The Golden Image And The Fiery Furnace by Shawn Ozbun
In an exciting story of religious defiance, self-sacrifice, and miraculous salvation, Daniel's three friends prefer death rather than bow to the great statue in Dura, set up by Nebbuchadnezzar. They prefer martyrdom than renouncing their religious identities. This story has become a foundation for many Jewish acts of sacrifice, from the times of the Hasmoneans, to the Ten Martyr Rabbis, to the Crusades, Inquisitions and the Holocaust.
