Dunker Punks Podcast – Arlington Church of the Brethren

Do you inspect the violence in your heart? Sarah Ullom-Minnich and On Earth Peace return with a bonus part 2 on structural racism in the church. Taking the next step, she talks with Rev. Anne Dunlap and Sarah Thompson about the work to dismantle racial hierarchy and oppression.

It is far too easy to get distracted from the way we ought to be caring for one another. In this episode, Dana Cassell issues a wake-up call up from the busyness, isolation and accumulation professed by the powers that be. Spiritually prepare for the hard work of being a Dunker Punk. Commit to Jesus’ radical, anti-empire love in our own world.

Surprise! A mid-month bonus episode with Dylan Dell-Haro on Jesus’ surprise: a ministry and message that made his own people furious. Jesus’ mother also spoke about a different kind of power and her song hasn’t always been accepted either. It’ll ruffle feathers in our day too, but we can’t let that stop us from passing it on.

Most of us don’t hate people for their skin color, but do we maintain expectations of a proper Christian or a proper Anabaptist? Do we embrace the comfort of racially managed learning and living? In this episode, Sarah Ullom-Minnich of On Earth Peace asks how we should challenge tradition to live out Jesus’ calling. She talks with Drew Hart and Shayne Petty about the engagement we need as individuals and as a church to be more racially inclusive.

Let’s make peace as Jesus did. DPP’s debut features Kevin Schatz talking to students on International Day of Prayer for Peace and asks you to consider how to answer prayers for peace right where you are. Episode 1 also premieres our theme song, “Modifiers” by Jacob Crouse and calls for action on becoming a welcoming community of refuge.
