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.   Do you have questions for Pastor Don?  send them to tmadask@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbkAVsuqU5_zWnmGca-OYaw/videos Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/RELISH319 Apologetics, Theology, Kalona, Wellman, Washington, Kalona Mennonite Church, West Chester Community Church, Jesus, Christianity, Christian, Church, Best New Christian Videos, Podcast, Relish

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome The Kingdom Perspective. The year 2025 marks a hugely significant moment in the history of the Church. Seventeen hundred years earlier, Christian leaders from all over the Roman Empire met freely and openly for the first time to affirm the Scriptural and longstanding teaching of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. In the decade leading up to that moment, controversy had broken out in the church of Alexandria, Egypt. An influential leader named Arius began teaching that, though Jesus was divine, He was not on the same level as God the Father. He was merely the first created being who in turn created everything else.  This heresy contradicted the clear teaching of Scripture—namely that there is only one Creator God (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6) and that Jesus was that Creator and, thus, worthy of worship (Colossians 1:15, John 1:1-3). In the summer of AD 325, these Christian leaders, many of whom bore scars of persecution for their fidelity to Christ, gathered and hammered out a public statement, faithfully articulating the teaching of the Apostles and, indeed, of Jesus Himself. They accurately reminded the church that the pre-incarnate Son of God is “begotten not made”—that He is “of the same essence” or nature as the Father (Hebrews 1:3; Phil 2:1-11), fully sharing in the very being of the Father. Thus, there are not multiple divine beings but only one. The Son is “true God from true God”. There are not a hierarchy of gods, but only One who exists eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The impact of this clarification cannot be overestimated, for it provided a clear framework for a transformative way of looking at life and relationships, both in the church and in the world. And that's something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!”~Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV) “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”~ Hebrews 1:1-3 (NIV) The Nicene Creed of AD 325We believe in one God, the Father almighty,maker of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God,begotten from the Father, only-begotten,that is, from the essence of the Father,God from God, light from light,true God from true God, begotten not made,of one essence with the Father,through Whom all things came into being,things in heaven and things on earth,Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down,and became incarnate and became man, and suffered,and rose again on the third day, and ascended to the heavens,and will come to judge the living and dead, And in the Holy Spirit. But as for those who say, There was when He was not,and, Before being born He was not,and that He came into existence out of nothing,or who assert that the Son of God is of a different hypostasis or essence,or created, or is subject to alteration or change –these the catholic and apostolic Church anathematizes.

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.

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. Hospitality is a discipline of heart, mind, and action. It requires you to have a new mindset—to work at getting outside yourself (your perspective, preferences, hurts, grievances, etc.) into the world of “the other”. It requires being considerate and kind, looking at and appreciating life from another's perspective (Philippians 2:1-5). For the Christian, this happens first and foremost with one another in the church, and secondly, with those outside (Galatians 6:9-10). It is seeking to accommodate and value one another's differences, while welcoming all to the same table of faith and repentance through the grace of Christ. It is giving of your time, treasure, talents, and reputation to help others feel the welcome embrace of God in Christ. Hospitality often involves mixing your nonbelieving friends and neighbors with the people of the church, so that all might have an encounter with Jesus (Luke 5:27-32). It is seeing yourself as an ambassador in your workplace, school, and neighborhood; it is seeing your home as an embassy of gospel shalom. It is seeing our church as an embassy to our community. It is seeing your engagement at church as a diplomatic mission to all present. As a church, we should expect to be “on display” in our community and thus be mindful of representing the gospel well in our engagement with others (Matthew 5:16; Colossians 4:5-6; Romans 12:9-21). As a church, we are an outpost of the coming kingdom—a city within a city (the polis of God amongst the polis of man). Thus, it is imperative we nurture a community of Christ's love, of His grace and truth (i.e., love), as this is critical to the effectiveness of our mission of hospitality. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.”~ Philippians 2:1-7 (ESV)

Transcript:Hello this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. If we were to peel back the universe to see what's underneath it—to discover the very source of reality—we would not find a mathematical formula, nor a scientific theory, nor a moral to do list, nor even a theological doctrinal statement. All these are good and necessary in their place, but they are not ultimate. Rather, if we were to peer into what's beyond and behind creation, we would find a perfect, eternal, untainted relationship of self-giving love. A divine community (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in an infinite, mutual, self-giving relationship—perfectly and equally sharing being and infinite delight before all time. One God in three Persons, and three Persons in One God. Now, what does this mean? Well, most basically, it means love is real. As Christians, we do not have a thin and sentimental view of love. Love is not a mere feeling we experience. Love exists apart from our feelings. Indeed, it exists apart from and prior to all else. Love is more real that time, for love is in the very essence of God. God exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in a relationship of self-giving love. In making us in His image, God meant for us to share in the glory of this love. He meant for us to find our life in the overflow of His Triune love. He meant for us to reflect His self-giving love in our all our relationships. He meant for us to feast upon the infinite abundance of this love and lavish it upon others. That's something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.”~ 1 John 4:7-14 (NASB95)

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective.  Hospitality is demanding. It requires us to give sacrificially of ourselves. At the core of hospitality is a discipline of heart, mind, and action. It requires you and me to have a new mindset—to work at getting outside ourselves (our perspective, preferences, hurts, grievances, etc.) into the world of “the other”. It is to be considerate and kind, looking at and appreciating life from another's perspective (Philippians 2:1-5). Now…such hospitality does not come naturally. It must be developed and practiced. The more you do it, the more you will become it (Philippians 2:12). BUT it is not merely an issue of our work either; it first requires seeing and being transformed by God's work for us (2 Corinthians 3). Gospel hospitality requires a supernatural level of love and patience, and so, we cannot do it without continually drinking deeply of the well of God's grace…for us. We love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). This means that we grow in patience, to the degree we see how patient Jesus continues to be with us. We grow in kindness, to the degree we see how kindly Jesus deals with us. We grow in our ability to forgive and forbear to the degree we continually see the greatness of God's forgiveness and forbearance of us. And so, my dear friends, fix your eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter our faith! Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”~ Hebrews 4:14-16 (ESV)
