Pull up an
Armchair.
The Armchair Anabaptist podcast tackles big-picture theological questions through accessible, thoughtful conversations with authors, pastors, theologians, and other thinkers inside and outside of the Anabaptist tradition. Each season examines one main idea through the lenses of Scripture, history, theology, and personal reflections. We hope listeners will take their theology up, out of their armchair, and into the real world.
In But Not Of
In the world, but not of it, has been a particular challenge for Anabaptists who isolated themselves early in their history and still carry some of that culture. Guests today acknowledge the strengths but also challenge some of the assumptions we may make about things like holiness, our culture and our role in the world.
This episode dives into the account of the first church as portrayed in Acts 2 and asks if, and how, their way of being the church applies to us. Whether that makes you nervous about what’s coming in this episode or eager to hear more, you’ll find a range of potential applications of the early church model and plenty of things to think about.
