The Powerless Furnace Podcast
Welcome to the Powerless Furnace Podcast, inspired by the unwavering faith of Daniel's friends in the fiery furnace. Are you facing trials that feel impossibly hot? Do you ever wonder, "What is wrong with me?" or wrestle with the question, "Does God love me?" Perhaps you're grappling with profound struggles with identity, feeling unsavable, or even questioning, "This my wrong body?"
Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego found the presence of the fourth man in their fiery trial, we believe that as followers of Christ, we are never truly alone in our furnaces. This podcast offers honest and hope-filled conversations about the challenges that life throws our way, from navigating complex issues of identity and self-acceptance to the everyday struggles of parenting ("How do I control my kids?") and the deep ache of feeling "Why do I feel alone?"
We delve into topics that resonate with the heart of the human experience, offering a Christ-centered perspective on feeling lost, questioning your worth, and seeking genuine connection. We explore how faith can transform our most intense struggles into powerless furnaces, where God's presence renders even the hottest flames harmless.
If you're searching for a podcast that understands the complexities of faith, identity, and the battles we face daily, join us at Powerless Furnace. Discover encouragement, find solidarity, and be reminded that even in your darkest moments, you are seen, loved, and never truly powerless with God by your side.

Season 1 Episode 12: Unveiling Transition Truths - Laura Perry Smalts
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Laura Perry Smalts, a woman who once lived nearly a decade as a transgender man. After years of pursuing a new identity, Laura encountered the love and truth of Jesus Christ—and everything changed. She shares her deeply personal journey through gender transition, the emotional and physical consequences she experienced, and the life-altering moment when she surrendered her identity to Christ. With honesty and grace, Laura unpacks the painful realities behind her transition, the healing she found in faith, and her mission now to speak truth in love to others walking a similar path.
This conversation isn't about politics—it's about people, redemption, and the search for identity in a world of confusion.
Stick around until the end as we ask Laura specific questions not only for those personally struggling with gender identity, but also for the parents, friends, and loved ones walking alongside them—seeking hope, clarity, and truth.
