An interview style podcast where your questions are answered. we talk about serious theological questions, and some silly questions sprinkled in
Join hosts Rowan Miller, Don Patterson and Marcus Miller for a wide-ranging, candid episode of Relish that explores how Christians can talk across political and cultural divides with respect. The conversation opens with a personal story about a university professor who appeared on a conservative "watch list," the threats that followed, and the missed opportunity for real dialogue — a springboard into larger concerns about polarization in American public life and the church. The hosts reflect on practical ways to have better conversations: distinguishing arguments from personal attacks, rekindling biblical literacy, and modeling respectful disagreement. They quote Luke 4 and the Sermon on the Mount as reminders of the church's call to care for the poor, lift the oppressed, and hold a faith that speaks to social concerns without becoming merely partisan. Generational change is a major theme. The episode contrasts older patterns of institutional church life with Gen Z's different expressions of faith — decentralized communities, new worship forms (including music and online platforms), and a surge in Bible interest — while asking how discipleship, mentoring, and tangible care for neighbors can follow. The hosts celebrate young people's passion while wrestling with how to translate energy into sustainable social action. Practical parish stories illustrate the point: challenges keeping institutional events and volunteer leadership alive, the end of long-standing fundraisers, and hopeful examples like meat canning and new evening services focused on Scripture, praise, prayer and healing. The dialogue emphasizes that the church can evolve its practices to better serve mission and community needs. Throughout, Rowan, Don and Marcus offer wisdom about navigating disagreement within congregations, renewing mission focus, and creating intergenerational relationships that foster discipleship. They invite listeners to suggest guests and topics and close with an encouragement to share the podcast and support the ministry's goal: helping people grow deeper in their understanding of God and his calling in daily life.

Relish returns with a special edition conversation about faith, culture, and the often-overlooked language of dress. Hosts Don Patterson and Rowan sit down with longtime Hillcrest history teacher and coach Marcus Miller to explore how clothing, customs, and community expectations have signaled belief across generations — and what that looks like today. The episode opens with warmth and anecdote: Marcus brings his grandfather's transition coat — a garment that marks the shift between Amish and conservative Mennonite dress — and recounts family and school memories from Iowa Mennonite School (now Hillcrest). The trio traces historical changes in plain dress, school rules about ties and coverings, and surprising student reactions to questions about feeling different as Mennonites across the decades. Rooted in Scripture, the discussion centers on Romans 12:1–2 (nonconformity and transformation) and spills into Matthew 5–7 and the fruits of the Spirit. The guests wrestle with legalism versus heartfelt worship, asking whether outward dress still matters, when it rightly communicates faith, and how external signals compare to the ongoing, often fuzzy work of spiritual action and character. Through stories — from boys in IMS letter jackets to choir tie rules, to the practical question of whether ministers should wear collars in places like prisons — the episode balances history, theology, and practical counsel. Listeners will hear perspectives on modesty, generational shifts (including modern trends in clergy attire and Gen Z expectations), and concrete spiritual practices that make a witness beyond clothing: living the Sermon on the Mount, cultivating the fruits of the Spirit, and allowing transformed actions to speak as loudly as any uniform. Expect a reflective, anecdote-rich conversation that connects family memory and church policy to broader questions about identity, witness, and cultural adaptation. Whether you're curious about Mennonite history, pastoral practice, or how to live out nonconformity in a messy world, this episode offers stories, scripture, and practical prompts to help add a little spice to your spiritual life.

In this episode of Relish, hosts Roe Miller and Don Patterson tackle practical questions about prayer, money, and Scripture that many believers face. A young questioner, Rowan, prompts a wide-ranging discussion about prayer's role in major life decisions like choosing a college and seeking God's calling, and how prayer brings peace and clarity during uncertain seasons. The conversation moves into ethics and stewardship: should Mennonites and advocates of nonviolence invest in defense companies? Don urges listeners to “put your money where your mouth is,” reflecting on how investments reveal the priorities of our hearts. They then unpack tithe and giving—what 10% means, the difference between tithes, gifts, and offerings, and the danger of turning generosity into legalism. Scripture (including Malachi 3 and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6) is used to highlight generosity as a joyful, heart-driven response rather than a checkbox. Don also addresses theological questions about what we've truly earned versus what God has given, emphasizing that all good gifts come from God and we remain indebted to grace. The hosts consider whether it's possible to out-give God and reject keeping a ledger mentality in favor of relationship-based giving. Finally, the episode raises concerns about Bible literacy and access to Scripture: they warn against letting the Bible sit on a shelf or only relying on apps, and encourage embedding Scripture into daily life so it can serve as a lamp in dark or difficult times. Practical references include traditional Sunday school resources and the reality that digital access can fail, underscoring the value of internalized Scripture. Throughout, Roe and Don offer pastoral, down-to-earth guidance—balancing doctrine, personal experience, and Scripture—and invite listeners to send questions, share the podcast, and join the conversation as they seek to grow deeper in faith and faithful living.
Join hosts Don Patterson and Roan Miller for a warm, candid episode of Relish that blends humor, personal stories, and practical theology. They kick off with morning devotion habits and a lighthearted quiz game, reflect on a 50th high school reunion, and answer the simple but profound question: Who is Jesus? Expect laughter, memory lapses, and heartfelt testimony about faith lived out. The conversation moves into deeper territory on how Christians should speak into one another's lives. Don explores biblical foundations for confronting sin and calling friends to growth, referencing Ephesians and Paul's counsel in 2 Corinthians about godly sorrow that leads to repentance. They discuss the balance of speaking truth in love, the responsibilities of close fellowship, and the importance of sharpening one another as the body of Christ. Listeners will also hear a thoughtful comparison of Amish and Mennonite practice and belief — from the Schleitheim Confession and the use of the ban (excommunication) to differences in emphasis on outward customs versus inward spirituality. Don explains why some Amish are adopting English Bibles to better understand Scripture, and why both communities prize the Word of God. Throughout the episode you'll get down-to-earth pastoral insight, practical takeaways for friendship and church life, and an open invitation: the hosts offer to come speak and take questions at local churches. Expect a blend of story, Scripture, and hospitality — the kind of conversation that aims to add a little spice to your life and deepen your walk with God.

Relish — a little pleasing, zestful flavor for your day. We hope what we bring today adds a spicy, meaningful bite to your life. We chat about gentleness (or kindness) not as something mushy but as something "fit for use" — manageable and marketable in God's work. Think custom hay bales and a summer crew: being ready, teachable, and able to step in wherever you9re needed is how faith gets shared. So friend, wake up the old codgers, walk alongside the next generation, and get ready — things feel ripe for a fresh move of God. Share this with someone who needs a little hope today.
Hey friend — welcome back to Relish with Rowan and Don, where we tackle the big, messy questions about faith in a simple, down-to-earth way. In this short episode they answer listener questions about hearing God's call, praying with confidence (and not always getting a yes), what Exodus really meant by “eye for an eye,” and how Jesus raises the bar on justice and forgiveness. If you're wrestling with a job change, holy discontent, spiritual warfare, or whether retaliation ever makes sense, this chat gives practical stories, gentle wisdom, and a reminder that you don't have to carry it alone — God's got this.

Hey friend — I wanted to share a short, personal reflection on Charlie Kirk and why I think Christians need to stop being quiet about public life. He combined sharp knowledge of current events with a deep biblical grounding, and that kind of clear, respectful engagement is exactly what our Gen Z kids are asking for. Growing up Anabaptist taught me the tension between church and state, but now I think we should lovingly step into the conversation, do Matthew 25 in our communities, and model calm, informed debate. I hope this sparks you to join the conversation and helps "relish" the chance to make faith matter in public life.

Hey friends! Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Relish with Rowan Miller and Don Patterson. This week, we're taking on some of the biggest spiritual questions believers wrestle with.
What is agape love—and why is it so radically different from every other kind of love? In this kickoff episode of our Fruits of the Spirit series, Rowan and Pastor Don explore what it means to love like God loves: sacrificially, unconditionally, and with no strings attached. Through Scripture, honest conversation, and real-life stories, we contrast true agape love with the cultural counterfeits we often settle for. You'll discover how this divine love has the power to transform your relationships, reshape your community, and renew your faith.
Is God really hidden—or are we just not looking closely enough? In this episode, we explore how God's presence shows up in both ancient miracles and modern moments, even in the chaos of daily life. We also reflect on Mary's incredible courage—a young woman who said “yes” to God's calling, showing us the power of surrender and trust. What can her story teach us about faith today? Finally, we journey with Jesus to the cross, uncovering how His sacrifice reveals the depth of divine love and how every act of surrender can serve a greater purpose.
