Ep16: Don't Say Suicide (2/1988)
7 LUG 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.
Ep15: Being Truly Committed (1/1988)
9 GIU 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.
Ep14: How to Raise Your Parents (12/1987)
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!!

Book Burning: Michelle Remembers (Part 2)
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.
Quibi: Total Eclipse of the Herd
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...
Ep13: Real Friendship (11/1987)
30 MAR 2024 · “Friends. How many of us have them? Ones we can depend on? Before we go any further, let’s be friends.” - Whodini
This month, Steve and Alec take a little sociology advice from Blaine and crew, as they explore Fire By Nite’s guide to cultivating REAL Friendships. Not like those FAKE friendships that The World™ wants to sell you. Plus a special visit from musical guest, CCM guitar hero Phil Keaggy. And look, if none of that floats your boat? In this month’s episode of resident sit-com Family First, Clarence takes a bullet for HIS best friend Doug. Wild stuff! So please, be our friend, and join us for this ‘Very Special Episode’ of This Fire.
Ep12: Overcoming Fear (10/1987)
9 MAR 2024 · Boo! Did I get you? Because it’s time for an unseasonably spooky episode of the pod, as Steve and Alec take a deep dive into Fire By Nite’s guide to Overcoming Fear.
Join us, explore the truly macabre! Such as…kids not being allowed to pray in public school…wait, that’s what this episode is about? And they use holocaust imagery to compare the plight of Christians in America to…..no, that can’t be right. I guess we’re just going to have to listen and discover the truth together. If you DARE!! MwaHaHa! (*lightningcrash*) Happy Hallelujah Night from your pals at This Fire!

Book Burning: Michelle Remembers (Part 1)
16 FEB 2024 · This week, we’re turning back the clocks to November of 1980, to explore something truly scary. Nope, not the election of Ronald Reagan, its the release of foundational Satanic Panic text - ‘Michelle Remembers’!
Join Steve and Alec as they take a deep dive into the controversial (and widely discredited) tome, as they plumb the depths of Michelle’s “memories”, and find out just how the lies spread about Satanic Ritual Abuse in the 1980s, are STILL hurting people today. A real uplifting one this time folks!
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of child abuse, sexual assault, and (supposed) Satanic ritual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.
Quibi: Taylor Swift Hearts Anton LaVey
9 FEB 2024 · It's the very first This Fire Quibi! (or Quick Bite if ya nasty) As Steve and Alec (very) briefly discuss Taylor Swift and her supposed involvement in the Satanic Church. Will she summon a literal demon on the field this Super Bowl Sunday? Or is all this Satan talk just rampant misogyny disguised as moral outrage? Find out today on this special extra short episode of This Fire!
Ep11: Nobody's Purfekt (9/1987)
31 GEN 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’. Come for the insufferable outtakes, but stay for the hard right turn into discussion of broken homes, coercive relationships, and sin. It's just a good ol' fashioned laugh riot, celebrating one full year of FBN. We'll save you a slice of cake!
