    History of the Mennonites in Central America (1968-2026) - Phil Yoder

    Phil Yoder moved with his family to Costa Rica in 1968, when he was a teenager. The early days after moving were difficult. Shortly after his family arrived, a volcanic eruption forced them out of their home. Their business venture didn’t work out, and they struggled to find somewhere to live. All of this was in addition to the challenges that come with adapting to a new culture and language. From those beginnings, the first communities of Mennonites formed in Costa Rica. Phil shares the story of those communities as well as some lessons in missions and church planting that he has learned from a lifetime of living in Central America. I Came to Christ.

    What’s Actually Worth a Church Split? We Need Theological Triage - Paul Lamicela

    Is the World Actually Getting Better? - Jaran Miller & Marlin Sommers

    It is common to hear people lament about how the world is getting worse and worse, and as we look at the news and what is happening around the world. Yet there are secular optimists who make a strong, data-driven case that in many ways the world is better than in the past. Marlin and Jaran engage with this idea and the concept of Christian optimism. They also look at how this interacts with historical events. A previous episode on thinking well about global politics A Rival Nations article on Christian optimism “Christian Fundamentals (Mennonite Church, 1921)” “God of Grace and God of Glory“ “Rise Up, O Men of God” “Father Eternal, Ruler of Creation” Factfullness The Better Angels of Our Nature Data on declining poverty rates A source for data about a bettering world This is the 319th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

    The Rich Sacramental Theology of Persecuted Anabaptists (While Reformation Wars Raged) - Dean Taylor

    The sacraments of the church were some of the most fundamental issues in the Reformation debates. Dean Taylor explains how intense these differences in theology were and how the Anabaptists were often persecuted and executed for not fitting with the standard Catholic or Protestant teaching of the time.
