Strength to Strength welcomed Steve Meres to share his life story.

Join Steve as he describes how he has stumbled and fumbled his way through growing up a Catholic, falling into the world, finding Christ through tragedy with the help of a Seventh-Day Adventist and a Calvary Chapel radio broadcast, spending nine years in a Baptist church, and finally landing in a conservative Anabaptist congregation with all its cultural intricacies and anomalies.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Patty Miller to discuss the behind-the-scenes experience of one who supports others’ ministries.

Serving from behind—what does that mean in today’s world of women’s rights and strident individualism? A woman of God has value and merit in the eyes of God regardless of her place in society or degree of visibility. Instead of oppressing women, Christianity gave women freedom and dignity that was unknown in the culture of the day. This responsibility comes with instructions on how to use this strength in a Christlike way, from a specific position in relation to Christ, His Church, and the men who are our authority. When we occupy that position in its fullness, we find peace, joy, and fulfillment. The speaker will share biblical examples and personal experiences of serving God from behind.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Christy Kenaston to discuss how to use the power of the Word to renew our minds and stabilize our hearts.

“Your word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” —Psalm 119:11

Does secularism truly deserve credit for rationality, scientific progress, and tolerance?

In this S2S Books interview, author Ryan Roth discusses his new book, *The False Equation: Challenging the Claim that Secularism Equals Rationality and Tolerance*.

Ryan examines the historical narrative that equates secularism with reason and progress. The conversation explores objective truth, the relationship between faith and reason, historical revisionism, the scientific revolution, authoritarianism, and what Ryan calls the “moral liberty principle.”

Topics include:

• The meaning behind the false equation “2 + 2 = 5”

• Whether secularism produced modern science and rational thought

• The religious convictions of influential Greek philosophers

• The Reformation’s relationship to literacy and scientific discovery

• The contrast between the American and French Revolutions

• Why authoritarianism—not religious faith—is the true enemy of liberty

• How Christians can confidently contend for truth today

Merle Burkholder, who wrote the book’s foreword, joins the conversation and helps explore the book’s central arguments.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Kristi Mast to discuss the power of a focused life.

Most of us understand that our phones are stealing our attention and sometimes even our fruitfulness. But how do we practically master our devices instead of letting them master us, especially when we are drained or looking for escape? Embracing our human limits frees us to employ technology as a tool, rather than something that dehumanizes and distracts. Come talk about practical ways to master the screens in your life.

Strength to Strength welcomes Reagan Schrock to share the story of the Anabaptist Origins documentary.

Anabaptist Origins is a ten-part documentary series tracing the first hundred years of the Anabaptist movement. Filmed on location across Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, and the Netherlands, the series brings viewers to the actual places where men like Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz, and Menno Simons lived, were hunted, and in some cases died for their convictions. Five hundred years after the first believer’s baptism in Zurich, this is a chance to see our spiritual heritage not as distant history but as real events that still inform and influence us today.
