Modern Anabaptist: The Conversations that Shape Us

The Monarchy, Closed Systems and Generational Trauma

Do you believe Harry and Meghan?

In this episode we do not address whether Harry and Meghan stories are credible or not. BUT, we do talk about how the monarchy resembles a closed system and how Harry and Meghan's story resembles church stories sometimes.

To end the episode we talk about generational trauma and how actions can reverberate across generations. 

Just a note about the content: in this episode we discuss racism, mental health issues (including depression) and other instances of trauma.

Farmer, Pastor, & Executive Minister - An Interview with Doug Klassen of Mennonite Church Canada

How do we address it when the para-church organizations become stronger than the church? How do strengthen the work of the Church? And how do we work together rather than competing for resources among the various Christian organizations?

In this episode Tobian and Rafael speak to Doug Klassen, Executive Minister of Mennonite Church Canada. Along the way they talk about Doug's journey to ministry, how to make tough decisions, and why we need more diversity in the Church.
