What does it mean to be forgiven?  What does it mean to forgive?  What are our “debts” and who are our “debtors?”  How are we enabled to forgive others?  Is our ability to forgive necessary for our own forgiveness? On this episode of The Podechesis Podcast, the guys talk about question 105 in John Wesley's Revision of the Westminster Shorter Catechism that deals with the fifth petition of the Lord's Prayer (forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors).

A: In the fifth petition (which is, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors”), we pray that God, for Christ's sake, would freely pardon all our sins; which we are the rather encouraged to ask, because by his grace we are enabled from the heart to forgive others.

In recent Sunday gatherings, we have been exploring the ideas of good and bad krino, the word that the Bible uses both for healthy discrimination and judgement. If we are to avoid judging others, how do we correct and disciple fellow Jesus followers? And, what does the krino concept mean for evangelism?

In Sunday's message, Mike Erre introduced to the idea of “mine-ing.” It's the corrupting energy that it takes to cling to possessions—strength we no longer can use to follow Jesus. Mike and Journey's Student Pastor, Rob Gonzalez, join host Kevin Dixon to examine this difficult teaching from the Sermon on The Mount and to examine their own relationships with money, things and generosity.

How does it redefine our image of a good parent--and our prayers--when we pray to God as “our father?” Betsy Raney, Tim Timmons and Mike Erre join host Kevin Dixon to examine what we can learn from Jesus' model prayer from the Sermon On The Mount.

Jesus tells his followers not to pray, give or fast in public where their actions will be seen by others. Instead, they should be done in secret where only God will see.

To understand Jesus' Upside Down Kingdom, we have to start with what the phrase "Kingdom of God" actually means. Is it something that's coming in the future, or is it already here? Is the Church God's Kingdom? Mike Erre joins host Kevin Dixon to consider different views of the Kingdom of God and how that affects the way we read the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).

Kevin, Mike, and Suzie have a conversation around grace in response to a question from the Gathering on Sunday: "What would you say to one who has worked to tear down their 'tower' through counseling/spiritual healing in order for them to build it back up in a healthier way?' Also, what is grace, anyway? Are the definitions we have sufficient for grace? How do we live into the grace we've been given and into who we already are in Christ? Got comments or questions?

With apologies to classic rock fans, Jesus' Sermon on The Mount teaches us that love is more than a feeling. Suzie Lind and Mike Erre join host Kevin Dixon to explore questions from our current teaching series, the Upside Down Kingdom.

When people speak of “the Amish” they are using a very simple term that covers over rather than reveals. It's a term that applies to forty affliations or subgroups, each with a distinctive way of life—from dress and carriages, to technological and cultural choices. And within those forty affiliations are 2,600 church districts, with different religious and social practices. “Yet amidst this diversity,” writes Donald Kraybill, “many common traits—beliefs and rituals—still make it possible to talk about ‘the Amish' as one social group.” Donald Kraybill is Distinguished College Professor at Elizabethtown College, where he is also Senior Fellow of the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies. He has written numerous books about the Amish and their related brethren; the latest is What the Amish Teach Us: Plain Living in a Busy World, just published by the Johns Hopkins Univeristy Press.

What makes Amish Businesses so successful? Why have Amish communities left farming for other businesses? And how did Amish entrepreneurs get started in woodworking? For help answering these questions, we turned to Dr. Steven Nolt of the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. The Amish have a long history of entrepreneurial pursuits, but it wasn't until the 1980s that they started to leave farming behind and focus on alternative businesses. But now the failure rate of Amish businesses in their first 5 years is just 10% compared to 50% among small business startups nationally! Listen to the full episode to understand what makes Amish businesses so successful. Some of the books Nolt has written include “A History of the Amish,” which is in its third edition, and “The Amish: A Concise Introduction.” He notably co-authored “Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy” about the Amish schoolhouse shooting in the village of Nickel Mines in Lancaster County. A few other co-authorships include the books, “Amish Micro-Enterprises: Models for Rural Development,” “Amish Enterprise: From Plows to Profits,” and a paper titled “Amish Enterprise: The Collective Power of Ethnic Entrepreneurship” that appeared in the Global Business and Economics Review. More Resources: Learn more about the American Amish population at http://groups.etown.edu/amishstudies/ Dr. Nolt also recommends the publication Plain Communities Business Exchange for a glimpse at the Amish business world.

This is the second episode from my interview with Don Kraybill last week, in which Don discusses the usefulness of  a sociological perspective for fulfilling God's mission to the world and how congregation's can assist the  Spirit in dismantling useless structures and programs getting in the way of that mission.

The first of three or four episodes with Don Kraybill, author of The Upside Down Kingdom and scholar of dozens of books and articles about the Old Order Amish and other Anabaptist groups. You will enjoy these episodes with Don who is so good at bringing together and interpreting disparate themes we have been addressing since May on this podcast!

How have the Amish thrived in a world without technology? They’ve hacked and innovated, says Elizabethtown College professor Donald Kraybill. Entrepreneurs can still succeed within the confines of their culture. It just takes a little imagination.

Even without cars and computers, the Amish have managed to start and grow successful businesses. Professor Donald Kraybill tells us how they've developed a surprising culture of innovation without the help of the latest tech.

The Amish have always struggled with the modern world. Known for their simple clothing, plain lifestyle, and horse-and-buggy mode of transportation, Amish communities continually face outside pressures to modify their cultural patterns, social organization, and religious world view. An intimate portrait of Amish life, The Amish not only explores the emerging diversity and evolving identities within this distinctive American ethnic community, but also its transformation and geographic expansion.

Donald B. Kraybill, Karen M. Johnson-Weiner, and Steven M. Nolt spent twenty-five years researching Amish history, religion, and culture. Drawing on archival material, direct observations, and oral history, the authors provide an authoritative and sensitive understanding of Amish society. Donald Kraybill is Distinguished College Professor and Senior Fellow at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College. Karen Johnson-Weiner is a professor of linguistic anthropology at SUNY-Potsdam. Steven Nolt is a professor of history at Goshen College.

The Amish religion is a branch of Christianity that adheres to a doctrine of simplicity, nonviolence and forgiveness. How then did a breakaway group come to be implicated in the first federal trial to prosecute religiously motivated hate crimes within the same faith community? From September to November in 2011, there was series of five attacks against nine Amish victims in Ohio in which their beards or hair were shorn. Some were left bruised and bloodied. Several victims had their homes invaded in the dead of night, while others were lured to a settlement in Bergholz, Ohio, and then attacked. The alleged perpetrators were from a breakaway Amish community in Bergholz, led by a bishop named Samuel Mullet. Some victims were estranged family members of the attackers, while others had crossed Mullet in some way. State officials called on federal prosecutors to take over the case and to try the alleged perpetrators under the Shepard-Byrd Act, a federal hate crimes law. Sixteen people were charged in the attacks in U.S. v. Miller, including Mullet. The jury found the 10 men and six women guilty of a total of 87 counts out of 90. But how did it come to this? Donald Kraybill, a professor of Amish studies, was an expert witness in the trial. He has written Renegade Amish: Beard Cutting, Hate Crimes and the Trial of the Bergholz Barbers, to explain the history of the case, and the sociological and religious factors that led to the attacks. Though the Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the convictions in a 2-1 decision, based on their interpretation of "but for" causation in the 2009 hate-crimes act, they allowed for a retrial. Kraybill does not think that this will be the end of the case. In this podcast, he shares with the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles the backstory behind the case; what it was like for him to testify; and what he feels the implications of the 6th Circuit's decision will be.
