November 05 Dispensationalism? Covenantalism? Two Kingdom Theology Is What Matters — AP Hosts
Is dispensationalism compatible with Anabaptism? How should Christians read the Old Testament covenants in light of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount? Following substantial feedback from several episodes that we published this year, Jaran Miller and Marlin Sommers sit down for a conversation. Jaran and Marlin share their stories of the development of their understandings, and then Marlin describes a constructive Anabaptist alternative or "third way."

October 22 The Bible says to “Try the spirits.” What does that actually mean? — Rick Rhodes
The Bible says we need to “try the spirits.” What does that mean? Rick Rhodes returns to the podcast to explain what this term means, how we should do this in our everyday lives, and gives examples from his own experience. This topic can be complicated, with many different interpretations; Rick aims to bring us back to the Scriptures and an understanding of how Christ wants his people to “try the spirits.”

September 10 How Radical Islam Caused 9/11: Returning to the Sources and Bin Laden - Chris Stolzfus
25 years ago, America fundamentally changed with the attacks on September 11, 2001. Since then, the world has grappled with the rise of global terrorism, war in the Middle East, and the refugee crisis. But how and why did the 9/11 attacks happen? What led us up to this moment?
Chris Stoltzfus brings his years of Middle Eastern experience and Islamic studies to this conversation, explaining the origins of radical Islamic fundamentalism. How does its foundation compare to the foundation of Christianity? How should we engage with, and respond to, radical Islam?

September 03 The Theologian of Early Anabaptism Who Died for Politics - Dean Taylor
Figures like Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz, and Michael Sattler are well known for their roles in the founding and first years of the Anabaptist movement. But there was another figure important to the beginnings of Anabaptism that we rarely hear about. This man, Balthasar Hubmaier, did significant work on Anabaptist theology up to his martyrdom in 1528. He also had his share of weakness and struggle. Dean Taylor gives a profile of who Hubmaier was, what he contributed to the Anabaptist movement, and how his failings led to tragedy.

Mentioned in this episode:
Bridge Campaign
For nine years, generous supporters have enabled Anabaptist Perspectives to publish regular, upbuilding content. Essays, episodes, the teaching series of Frank Reed, and this summer, Anabaptist Origins: all released freely across a wide range of platforms.
Our team grew to meet the production demands of the past two years, with that growth largely funded by giving raised for specific projects like Origins. That giving did what it was meant to do and has now been spent. While our monthly supporter base has grown to over 130 members, their giving does not yet cover ongoing production costs.
Current supporters provide an incredibly valuable foundation, so a lack of additional donors would not stop the work, but it would slow considerably. Staying within our current base would mean scaling back hours, publishing less often, and setting the larger projects aside.
You have a real say in what we can and cannot do.
To sustain what we have built and carry some margin into next year, we are seeking $50,000 by the end of November. Thanks to generous donors, the first $12,000 of this will be matched dollar for dollar.
If this work matters to you and you want to keep it going, you can give at anabaptistperspectives.org/keep
(or by check to Anabaptist Perspectives, 127 County Road 616, Athens, TN 37303)
P.S. If you are unable to give right now, you can still help by passing an episode along to someone who may be blessed by it.
