Redeeming the World Instead of Preserving America - Bryant Martin
Americans are fascinated with politics. How can we engage our communities and neighbors in political topics while we hold to a faith tradition that embraces nonviolence and non-governmental participation? Bryant Martin tells how he was embarrassed about these beliefs in the past, and how he came to a clear understanding of serving society by engaging with it in nonpolitical ways. Bryant outlines ways we can serve our communities and engage well with political issues, while also being aware of the fallacy that America is a “Christian nation.”Reaching America by Gary MillerSidetracked by Gary MillerThe Myth of a Christian Nation by Greg BoydBryant started Sowers Harvest Cafe; find more info here.Chapters00:35 Story from Bryant's Youth07:31 Coming to Peace with Conscientious Abstention10:14 Overcoming the World with the Cross13:30 Preserving Grace21:38 A Vision for God's Global Kingdom23:18 Fear, the Internet, and Polarization29:55 Preserving or Redeeming?34:03 Seeking Political Power is Counterproductive38:26 How to Talk about Politics42:50 A New Christendom?48:15 Charlie Kirk55:45 Living Beautiful LivesThis is the 297th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

We Lost All Faith Under Communism. The Sermon on the Mount Brought Me Back - Zoltan Dohi
Zoltan Dohi was born into a broken family behind the Iron Curtain. Christianity was heavily persecuted in the Eastern Bloc and was not practiced in Zoltan’s home. Zoltan recounts how the principles he learned from his grandparents about the Sermon on the Mount eventually bore fruit in his life; he began to read the Bible for the first time. He describes the incredible power of the Sermon on the Mount in the believer’s life and its potential to transform a broken world.Special thanks to Credo Schloss Unspunnen for the filming location and hospitality.

No, the Early Church Did Not Teach Penal Substitutionary Atonement - David Bercot
What did the early church believe about the atonement? David Bercot takes us through the early church writers to show that they didn’t think of the atonement through the same frameworks we have about the atonement. David explains that the ante-Nicene Fathers did not teach penal substitutionary atonement (PSA); rather, PSA is a modern interpretation read back into the original texts.Our episode with Dean TaylorDavid Bercot’s series on the atonementDictionary of Early Christian BeliefsChristus Victor: An Historical Study of the Three Main Types of the Idea of AtonementOrthodox Study Bible with the SeptuagintThis is the 295th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.Sign-up for our monthly email newsletter which contains new and featured content!Join us on Patreon or become a website partner to enjoy bonus content!Visit our YouTube channel or connect on Facebook.Read essays from our blog or listen to them on our podcast, Essays for King JesusSubscribe on your podcast provider of choiceSupport us or learn more at anabaptistperspectives.org.The views expressed by our guests are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Anabaptist Perspectives or Wellspring Mennonite Church.

Walking Minefields Is My Ministry — Removing Landmines from Farmers’ Fields - Jared
Jared describes his work of removing landmines left from the war which continue to make this region dangerous for local residents. He explains how this work is a tangible witness both to Christ’s love and to the power of radical enemy love for people whose lives have been torn apart by the horrors of modern warfare. This effort is a hands-on way of “turning swords into ploughshares,” as the prophet Isaiah describes.Because of the sensitive nature of the work Jared is doing, we cannot name the location or the organization he and his family are serving with. If you would like to request information about this or support their work, please email Anabaptist Perspectives. Special thanks to Jared and his team for showing their work to Anabaptist Perspectives and for keeping us safe around these instruments of death.This is the 294th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.
