You just got home from school, you want to settle in for some Duck Tales, but your mom flips the channel for her daily dose of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Only on this episode, Oprah’s not talking to the celebrity of the day about their new movie, or to some self help guru turned author. Nope, today she’s detailing grizzly murders, baby sacrifice, generational Satanists, and the psychologists just trying to make sense of it all. That’s right, today on This Fire we take a look...
2025-10-161h 24This FireEp28: Why Feel Guilty? (2/1989)SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!!Its time to learn the RIGHT and WRONG way to beat yourself up, as this month we take a look at the February 1989 episode of Fire By Nite: “Why Feel Guilt?” Youth groups often get accused of breaking kids down, demolishing their self esteem, so that they can be built back up in the image of God (or…maybe just the image of whichever church they were at’s youth pastor). But here, Blaine and crew let us know that it’s not all self flagellation and internalized hatred. Sometimes kids? Things aren’t your fault…...
2025-10-061h 56This FireInterview w/ Chris TheisThis week, we’ve officially stared into Fire By Nite long so long, that Fire By Nite has started to stare BACK, as we welcome to the show Clarence Stanley himself…the one, the only, Chris Theis!!

2025-09-161h 45This FireTeen Mania...Let's Talk About It (w/ Special Guest Molly)Teen Mania Ministries. From the very start it’s been a through-line of our survey of Fire By Nite, and one that will be there til the bitter end of FBN’s run in 1994. In light of a certain recent docuseries, we felt there was no better time to have our first (but certainly not last) conversation focusing on Teen Mania’s influence on the broader Gen-X/Millennial Youth Group culture; and what better place to start than with someone who back in the 1990s was a regular attendee of Acquire the Fire and Teen Mania affiliated events - our s...

With the dulcet tones of KLOVE all over the Billboard Hot 100, Steve and Alec are here to make sense of it all and figure out why all of a sudden mainstream audiences are so enthusiastically embracing the not quite country, not quite hip-hop, not quite pop mélange that has become a staple of Christian contemporary music over the pas...

Who Needs It?!” It’s Family vs Family. Friend vs. Friend. The Church vs. Itself!

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.

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.
