Modern Anabaptist: The Conversations that Shape Us

We are back for Season 2.

How does anxiety inform our choices and how can we respond in healthy ways when anxiety threatens to take over our lives? In this first episode of Season 2 Rafael and Tobian talk about anxiety and debate about how anxiety has informed our coping strategies during the Pandemic.

After a long absence, we are back! And today we talk about Halloween. Is Halloween sinful, is it just a way to have fun, or is there more to it? 

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation we acknowledge our complicity in the structures and choices that have oppressed and dispossessed the indigenous peoples of Canada!

Rafael and Tobian sit down once again to discuss what it means to understand "truth" in this "post truth" world.

Over the past few months we have received some questions. In todays episode we answer the questions and chat about church shopping during COVID. 

This is a special episode that focuses on uncovering the symbolism and meaning behind the story of Jesus healing the Demon-possessed man. It is an adaptation of a written essay written for school titled Spirituality, Politics, and Exorcism:  An Examination of Biblical Commentaries on Mark 5:1-20.
