🎧 Episode 236: A Look into the Amish Culture

First of all....A GIANT thank you to our friend and Humor Contributor Karren who suggested we take a look at today's topic. We ❀ your suggestions, so if you're reading this...and I think you are...send your ideas to [email protected]. What documentary have you watched lately that made you go Hmmmmm? What hot topic would you like to hear us discuss? We want to know. 

 

Now, back to the episode...

What's up with the Amish? đŸ˜± And what can their way of life teach us about our own walk with Christ? In this episode, we take a closer look at the Amish culture — their faith, their separation from the world, and how we should or more importantly shouldn't think about such groups.

We’ll explore:

1. Who Are the Amish?

  • Origins: breakaway from Mennonites in the 1600s.
  • Core values: simplicity, humility, obedience, community.
  • Separation from “the world” (why no cars, electricity, etc.).
  • 3. Review of several documentaries about the Amish

    • Affirmation of Jesus as Savior, Son of God, crucified and risen.
    • Faith tied to obedience and daily living, not just personal conversion.
    • Community over individualism.
    • Nonresistance and taking the Sermon on the Mount literally.
    • Baptism as an adult decision to follow Christ.
    • 4. Our own experiences with Amish

      • Cathrine's time working at the Fishermans Wife and in Michigan
      • Me - I’ve been to an Amish restaurant and furniture store
      • 5. Fun Facts: How Amish Are YOU quiz. 

        📖 Scripture of the Episode:

        Romans 12:2 (NIV) — “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind
”

        ✅ Takeaway: The Amish challenge us to reflect on how we live out our faith in today’s world.

        🎯 Call to Action: Don’t jump to judgment with other religions because we all fall short. Instead, let’s approach others with humility and grace.
