Edsel Burdge walks us through plainness, starting with the Quakers, addressing concerns of plainness at various points of conservative Mennonite history, and makes a case for why considerations of plainness should matter to Christians today. Burdge thinks of plainness as an approach to life that identifies a person with God's people while resisting pressures of wealth, consumerism, and sensuality.Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College: Ready to Harvest's Video about Mennonites: “Overview of the Plain People” by Ernest Eby: “An Introduction to Old Order: and Conservative Mennonite Groups” by Stephen Scott: Shippensburg Christian Fellowship History Series: “Building on the Gospel Foundation” by Edsel Burdge and Samuel Horst: Link to the First Episode with Edsel: This is the 261st episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

From an atheist household to strict Mennonite, Jasper had an incredible amount of adjusting to do as a teenager. Her love for riding horses and asking questions branded her with “unruly” and “rebellious”. Anyone who got close to her was shipped away and eventually, due to lack of socialization and acceptance, her mental health quickly deteriorated. She now hosts “The Plain People's Podcast” where she platforms former Mennonite and Amish so they may tell their stories.Click here to watch on YouTube Find and Support Jasper!Website: https://www.theplainpeoplespodcast.comResources: https://www.theplainpeoplespodcast.com/resourcesIG: @ThePlainPeoplesPodcast https://www.instagram.com/theplainpeoplespodcast/@jasper.c.hoffman Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/theplainpeoplespodcastWhy would a family outside the church join into a cult?The home school movement in California in the 90sThe catalyst for Jasper's mom to head to religion Introduced to the MennonitesWhat it was like to go from Atheist to Christian to MennoniteJasper's father became sober when they became MennonitesJasper's mother enjoyed the initial love overload when first joinedJasper came home one day to her clothes changed to all dressesJasper was no longer allowed to ride horses because it was un-lady likeHow the Mennonites incorporated IBLP practicesThe dark ways Jasper's life changed once she became MennoniteJasper's family was the first to join this particular churchThe library had removed and censored pages in encyclopediasThey tried to control Jasper immediatelyControlling how she walked...Published example of being too pridefulWhy Jasper wasn't allowed to go to 10th gradeWhere Jasper's mental health really took a turnWas Jasper encouraged to homeschool on her own?They started shipping away all her friendsThey tried to send Jasper away, then forbidden therapyHer difficult dating/courtship experienceWhen Jasper realized she had to leave the MennonitesHow Jasper got outA divided familyJasper got accepted into college Jasper had to move BACK in!Her post-cult journeyJasper starts her own podcastThe patterns and through-lines Jasper has noticed in her interviewsCould the Amish and Mennonites continue the positive without the negative?Support ShelisePatreon: Patreon.com/cultstoconsciousnessVenmo @sheliseannAny donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcastFind Shelise on Social media!Instagram @cultstoconsciousnessHost Instagram @sheliseannTikTok @cults.to.consciousnessTwitter @cultstoconTheme Song Produced and Composed by Christian Guevara**Disclaimer: Thanks for joining us at Cults to Consciousness.

This week, the MennoBrarians discuss Women Talking, a book by Canadian Mennonite author Miriam Toews that tells a fictional story based on true events that took place in the Old Colony Mennonite colony in Bolivia. We will cover the movie in our next episode, which will be out the first week of April. We had not yet seen the movie when we recorded this episode on the book. Tune in for discussions on Canadian authors, depictions of Mennonites, theological dilemmas, and more. Content warning: Women Talking, while fiction, is based on true stories of sexual assault and rape perpetrated against members (primarily women & children) of the Manitoba Mennonite Old Colony community.

What are the most helpful definitions of the term "evangelical"?2. If we could set forth one positive definition, what might we say?3.

The Story of the empty tomb is not the end of the Christian story, but just the beginning.

Are we happy with more? Not always (unless it's more dirt, in which case there's a direct translation for some of us dirt hoarders).Today we bring you an interview from one of our newly-favorite events. Daniel Wengerd, General Coordinator for Horse Progress Days 2021, sits down and talks with us about the planning behind an undertaking like this, and how a team of “Plain People” (you'll find out what that means if you listen) worked together to create something that is incredibly complex, yet seems so simple. That's no small feat with something that involves 40,000 people, 400 horses, and 40 tons of manure, among a lot of other interesting things. Okay, so maybe the manure was an estimate, but what little was visible went to good use, we can assure you.There will be more upcoming podcasts from Horse Progress Days 2021, and we'll be going back again to this fabulous rotating event, no matter which midwestern vowel state it's in next year. It's simply one of the most enjoyable events we've covered, with some of the nicest people we've met. And they had manure spreaders. Life is good.

The Amish are America's favorite weird religion. We visit their towns, eat their pie and even write romance novels about them. But how did a gang of technology rejecting simple folks like them end up in rural Pennsylvania? How many of them are there? Who are they and WHAT DO THEY WANT? Stay tuned to find out with special guest Jesse Warren.
We answer some of the questions we have received from listeners. Recommended reading on the topics discussed in this episode: Plain Theology for Plain People by Charles Octavius Boothe

I have three boys. I have two girls. I was never warned,” he lamented. […] Rodenhouse said that it is his understanding that Mast had abused children in both the U.S. and Haiti, and that upon returning to the states, Mast intended on only telling the police about his American crimes and only did so after the families involved stated that they would not press charges. A friend sent me a link to a very insightful blog post by Paul Yoder called “The Silent Curtain“in which he argues that the difference between abuse cases among the Amish and Mennonites and those in the mainstream culture is the way they are handled. I couldn’t agree more. I highly recommend reading his article. I am convinced that the process of “forgiving and forgetting” among the Plain People is nearly as vulgar as the crimes themselves because it aids and abets the perpetrators — all in the name of Christianity. At best, it is a gross misinterpretation of Jesus’ message. Among the Plain People, there is no distinction made between adultery and child sexual abuse. Two young people who love one another and are not married having sex is adultery in their eyes. Sex between a married person with someone other than their partner is adultery in their eyes. Beastiality and child sexual abuse is also adultery in their eyes. This means they don’t distinguish between sex crimes and consensual relations between two adults. I believe that this black and white thinking is partly due to the lack of education. There is an almost stubborn insistence to adhere to the old ways of thinking, even when that thinking borders on ignorance. Why are the Amish still exempt from compulsory education, when everyone in the mainstream culture has to live by a whole other standard? Wouldn’t we condemn a culture in some foreign land that rests its survival on the premise that their children must not learn too much? It will be interesting to watch what happens in the case of Jeriah Mast. Will he be prosecuted in the full extent of the law, or will the peopl
In this episode, Jon and Ryan continue the latest installment of Practical Theology for Plain People by discussing the Trinity.

In this conversation, Ernest Eby discusses what he has learned through observing seekers as they enter and leave Anabaptist churches. He defines what is meant by a seeker, and addresses several issues that keep seekers out of churches. Next week the conversation will be continued with Ernest presenting specific pointers to churches wanting to welcome seekers, and to individuals who are investigating joining a church.
