We want to impact this generation of Anabaptist people through training them to think properly—to really engage with the questions that our communities face today. Thinking is not just using bigger words or reading thicker books. It is learning the mind of Christ—learning to love God and others more.
- 56 - On Bully Pulpits & Spiritual Abuse
Following up on Paul's recent post summarizing Kruger's book on spiritual abuse, Drew and Paul sit down to discuss the topic drawing from their experiences. They discuss how spiritual abuse has been a problem in our community, ways that we can prevent it and care for those damaged by it, and how to be vigilant while at the same time trusting and supportive of godly leaders.
Tue, 23 Apr 2024 - 55 - Why Should Anabaptists Make Scientific Contributions?
With a new face on the podcast, Katie Heffner, Elijah discusses the history of Christians and science and talks about the complicated relationship that Anabaptists have had with higher education and science. Why aren't more Anabaptist young people becoming researchers, engineers and mathematicians?

If we aren't careful, we fall prey to seeing the gospel as the start of our Christian journey, but not realize that to the New Testament authors, the gospel is also the ongoing way that we learn how to live like Jesus. It is the story of what Jesus did, and the means by which, through the Spirit, we learn what we can and should do. Elijah and Drew talk about how Anabaptists can fall prey to minimizing the gospel, and what we should do to keep it central.
Sat, 06 Jan 2024 - 53 - Can Christmas Tradition Be a Good Thing?
What about the pagan origins of Christmas? Or Santa Claus and heavy commercialization? Drew and Elijah discuss some of these common objections, talk about their past experience with the holiday, and give some pointers on how to make Christmas a meaningful, spiritually rich holiday.

In this first live-audience podcast episode, Paul and Elijah consider the church's relationship to Israel. In light of the current conflict, it is crucial to understand how we are to think about the modern Jewish state. They argue that we should not be looking to the modern geopolitical nation of Israel for prophetic fulfillment, whether or not there is a future wave of Jewish people who come to faith. We are to view the people of God as composed of people with the faith of Abraham in the Messiah, not unbelieving ethnic Israel.

Heaven is what modern Christians tend to think about, but resurrection is what the apostles thought about. If creation was good, created by God, then the necessity of re-creation follows! Paul and Elijah do a dive into Scripture and early Christian thought to understand what the orthodox Christian hope is for the future. What happens after death? And as N.T. Wright says so often, what happens in the "life after life after death"?

Our modern Christian concept of our ultimate hope is of floating up to a disembodied sky heaven. The Christian Hope is of Jesus reigning as king on earth, and heaven reunited to earth. How did we get off-track? Paul and Elijah argue that dualism, gnostic thought, and misguided interpretation of Scripture has informed our hymns, theology, and understanding of our future.

Ever gotten stuck on a Proverb that you didn't understand? Or heard questionable advice on wealth-making from an obscure proverb? Or perhaps puzzled (or felt guilty) over why life doesn't always turn out the way Proverbs seems to indicate it should? Paul and Elijah talk genre, interpretation, and application of this important wisdom book.

Drew and Elijah continue their discussion on some of the fallout with teachings from Gothard and IBLP. In this podcast, they talk about the tendency in some settings to view submission to authority as a formula for success. Godly authorities are a necessary part of every Christian's life, but what about when authorities seem to be acting in unloving, unbiblical ways?

Have you ever felt guilty about enjoying an innocent activity? On the heels of Drew's recent post on Jinger's recent book, Becoming Free Indeed, Drew and Elijah discuss a specific example from the book about her oversensitivity as a child. Jinger often felt guilty playing broom ball with her family, because she felt she should be doing something more spiritual.

Should we avoid people who are bitter? What does bitterness even mean? Drew and Elijah discuss how bitterness has been misunderstood and weaponized against people who get hurt. Unforgiveness is something to overcome at all costs, but it is not the same as biblical bitterness.

In this special Q&A episode, Elijah and Paul discuss a few of your questions related to the book of Revelation. Questions include: Could other apocalyptic works be borrowing from Revelation instead of vice versa? If Revelation is an example of “apocalyptic” literature, then did John really see the things he said he saw? What’s your take on postmillennialism? What about specific-sounding land promises given to Israel in the Bible?

Revelation was written to a group of late first-century churches. It was meant to encourage and exhort them to be “conquerors.” But we’re far removed from them. On the other side, Revelation envisages events still in our future. How do we read and practically apply Revelation today, as believers far removed from the first century and still awaiting the final vision to unfold? Join Elijah and Paul as they discuss practically reading and applying the book in our lives and churches today.

Serious Christians are often on the lookout for the “mark of the beast.” And for good reason—it’s spiritually fatal! But should we be looking suspiciously at new technologies, vaccines, or payment methods? In fact, is this “mark” a specific, one-time “thing” for the final generation only, or is it an image that warns all believers? What should we be on the lookout for? Join Elijah and Paul as they dig into the “mark of the beast” in Revelation and reveal how important it is for us today (but not perhaps how you might think). Hint: It’s related to the “seal of God.”

Mon, 29 May 2023 - 42 - How Should We Read the Symbolism in Revelation?
How do you read Revelation? Or do you read it at all? Maybe you find it fascinating, but don't know how to find any meaning in it. Or maybe you feel a bit jaded by controversies over strange symbolism in the book. Join Elijah and Paul in this first episode of a series on Revelation where they sweep away some common misconceptions about the book of Revelation and "end-times" theology. Hint: John wrote Revelation in a very specific genre of literature... and we should read it accordingly.

- 25 - Part 2: Practically Rejecting Worldliness
When we look at the way "worldliness" is used in Scripture, a very different set of practical issues come to the forefront. Rather than just thinking that avoiding worldliness means acting and dressing differently from the world arbitrarily, we realize that worldliness is simply sin--that issues such as anger, lust, and church strife are the biggest and most dangerous areas of worldly sin.
We will check our hearts closer when we learn to view worldliness through the lens of the scriptures.Tue, 05 Jul 2022 - 24 - How We Get Worldliness Wrong
Yes, we talk a lot about avoiding being tainted by the world. We talk a lot about the dangers of worldliness. But what if we're misusing the term? What if, in our zeal to stay away from "the world," we've actually just been staying away from unbelievers? Join us in thinking through this topic as we discuss the scriptures on worldliness.
Thu, 16 Jun 2022 - 23 - Responding to Concerns about Novels
Novels are fiction, and by definition "not true," right? Since Philippians 4:8 tells us to read things that are "true," should we avoid novels? Drew, Elijah, and Kayla are back to discuss fiction, delving into the concerns some have about fiction and talking about how novels have positively affected their lives.
Mon, 02 May 2022 - 22 - Should Christians Read Novels?
For some, the question is obvious: novels are a waste of time, often include unrealistic romance, and are not true. For others, novels are a richer, different way of describing and enjoying the human experience, and prepare the Christian to better understand Scripture. Drew, Kayla, and I talk about our journeys with reading and how we've come to the conclusions we have on the world of fiction.
Wed, 30 Mar 2022 - 21 - Galatians Series: Allegories and Metaphors
In this final episode of our Galatians series, Paul and Drew tackle some fascinating and confusing portions of the letter: What does Paul mean by the "elements of the world"? How is Paul employing the story of Hagar and Sarah "allegorically"? And are Paul's metaphors merely rhetorical flourishes, or are they central to his moral exhortations?

What is behind Paul's phrase, "this present evil age," in the beginning of the book? What is the "different gospel" that Paul was so worried about? Join us in this adventure through an intriguing and challenging New Testament letter.
Tue, 18 Jan 2022 - 17 - Stop Only Reading Sources that Agree with You
We have a trust problem. Too many people trust what they read too much, reading some authors uncritically simply because they are perceived as coming from the same "side." At the same time, many people refuse to read things written by authors coming from other perspectives than their own. How shall we learn to think better about our sources?

Many are concerned about young people reading non-Anabaptist authors, afraid that they will lose their way. Others try to discredit non-Anabaptists on their interpretation of a scriptural passage on the basis of an unrelated belief or lack thereof. How should we make our reading decisions, and how can we learn to appreciate the contributions of authors outside of our own communities?
Mon, 31 May 2021 - 10 - Wrapping Up the Museum Effect Discussion
Drew and Elijah reflect on their debate series and discuss their points of agreement. What if being different is actually our key to success in reaching out—so long as we're different in the right areas and for the right reasons? They discuss relationships, music, devices, and Christian love...here's where "different" will count.
Thu, 06 May 2021 - 9 - 2nd Debate: The Museum Effect
What does it mean to be modern and is that a positive thing for Christians to desire to be? Does the fact that a specific tradition is old-fashioned make it less likely for others to adopt? Drew and Elijah come back to discuss the museum effect in more detail, focusing on the definition of modern and asking whether the process of modernization is positive for the church.

Does tradition keep outsiders from joining our churches? Or does our tradition—informed by our beliefs—actually serve to draw people to join us? This episode contains an answer to the anti-traditionalists that does not ignore Anabaptists' evangelism problem or fuel the mindless tradition-dumping that many engage in.
Mon, 08 Mar 2021 - 6 - Tradition: The Reverse Yardstick Problem
