I think this is a great topic. Finding the truth is hard to do. Reacting to falsehoods or damaging theologies or lies is not a guarantee to find truth. However, I find that topics like this, when covered in a podcast, are almost always done by Protestant bros, almost always reformed bros, who have a...

Aren't Mennonites in South America like this? I know they exist in "colonies" like the Hutterites, but I'm not aware of what sort of property/income sharing they do. There is a big church in Texas that is sort of non-anabaptist which is communal, but they do have members who live on big pr...

We recognize that God's grace is bound to the sacraments, but that God Himself is not bound by the sacrament, meaning that He is able to save outside the ordinary means. I haven't read the whole argument back and forth in S&T, but even I can see the nuance in FotW's position in this sentence al...

I don't agree with all he wrote there, especially in the first chapters, but i...

The church I'm currently attending scores 2 out of 10: midweek services and frequent fellowship meals. Fellowship meals are technically once a month, but every single week there is one family designated for hospitality, and even though it's not a "whole church" meal gathering, I think it s...

In my experience, the biggest difference between the Anabaptist tradition and Baptist/Evangelical is the focus on the Sermon on the Mount. Anabaptists take it as written, prescriptive for followers of Jesus. Baptist/Evangelical have various means of downplaying it. The beatitudes, however, are descr...

Bonus question re: symbols of headship order. If your church practices it to any degree, how do you interpret it?
