Think Truth

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.

    How the Gospel Itself Changes Us

    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. Support the show

    Israel and the Church: Yesterday and Today

    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. Find the video version of this podcast here. Support the show

    Heaven or Resurrection? The Christian Hope

    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"? Find the video version of this episode here. Support the show

    Plato Made Our Heaven

    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.
