MennoMedia is excited to be developing a comprehensive storybook Bible set to be published on July 1, 2023. On this week's episode of ~ing Podcast, we'll be learning about this project from two of the people who helped shape and create this beautiful resource including biblically faithful retellings of 140 Bible stories. Joan Daggett and Chrissie Muecke join us to share about aspects of this project, such as its twelve “Peace Paths” that allow children to “choose their own adventure” through the book, exploring how peace themes are woven throughout the Old and New Testaments.

Those who preorder copies of The Peace Table: A Storybook Bible before June 1, 2023 can receive a 25% discount. More details can be found here.

This week marks the arrival of Earth Day! In this week's episode of ~ing Podcast, we're joined again by Herald Press author, Todd Wynward, a public school founder, small-scale farmer, wilderness educator, and Mennonite organizer for watershed discipleship in the Mountain States region. In the second half of our conversation with Todd, he introduces us to his "Brother from another mother," his hermano, Daniel "Ryno" Herrera. Ryno is hard at work rewiring and repurposing "QiLT" - his family’s Questa property into a family-friendly conscious village that supports neighborliness, interdependence and place-based living. We'll learn more about their collaborative journey through the Taos Initiative for Life Together (TiLT), and the Repurposing Plastic Project in Taos, New Mexico. We hope you listen to the first half of this episode which came out last week.

In this week's episode of ~ing Podcast, we're joined by Herald Press author, Todd Wynward, a public school founder, small-scale farmer, wilderness educator, and Mennonite organizer for watershed discipleship in the Mountain States region. We'll learn more about his journey since publishing his book, Rewilding the Way: Break Free to Follow an Untamed God, and what has happened in the journey of Taos Initiative for Life Together (TiLT), a discipleship co-housing community which he helped to found in Taos, NM. During the pandemic TiLT experienced a traumatic moment, that has transformed their movement from rewilding to reconstructing. This is part one of a two-part conversation. Join us next week to hear more from Todd and others connected with TiLT.

We're joined this week by author and professor, Mark D. Baker, to talk about themes from his new book, Centered-Set Church: Discipleship and Community Without Judgementalism (available now from InterVarsity Press). In his book, Baker shows how Scripture presents an alternative to either obsessing over boundaries or simply erasing them. Centered churches are able to affirm their beliefs and live out their values without such bitter fruit as gracelessness, shame, and self-righteousness on the one hand, or aimless "whateverism" on the other. We'll talk about what this means for churches, and explore some communities who are trying to reimagine what it means to center ourselves around Jesus Christ.

We're joined this week by author and professor, Rev. Dr. Jennifer Garcia Bashaw, to talk about themes from her new book, Scapegoats: The Gospel through the Eyes of Victims. Bashaw uses René Girard's arguments to show that Jesus's whole public ministry (not only his death) combats the marginalization of victims. These scapegoat stories work together to illuminate an essential truth of the Gospels--that Jesus modeled a reality in which victims become survivors and the marginalized become central to the kingdom. This book is available now from Fortress Press.

In today's episode, host Allison Maus sits down with author and educator, Melanie Springer Mock, to talk about themes from her new book, Finding Our Way Forward: When the Children We Love Become Adults. In this conversation, Melanie draws on her decades as a college professor and mom to four adult children to explore how finding our way means developing a more expansive understanding of calling for ourselves and for the young adults we love, one that moves beyond vocation and capitalistic enterprises to what God really calls us to: Seeking justice. Loving mercy. Walking with humility. Loving others. Loving God. This powerful book is available now from Herald Press.
