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.
Faith Without Works is Dead
Anchored in James 2:14-26, guests Cameron Mackenzie, Meghan Larissa Good and James Driedger help answer the question: what do we mean by faith and works, and how does this passage address the relationship between the two?
Kleine Gemeinde
The Anabaptist suspicion of top-down leadership remains alive and well in EMC churches, but does congregational governance actually work, and if not, why not and what are the alternatives? If leaders shouldn’t have or don’t accept power, where does the power go?
At the End
Having looked at the beginning, Jesse and Andrew now ask if you can find guidelines for community in Revelation. Does God’s plan or design for how things end, provide insight about what our communities should look like?
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.
