As you will hear, Pablo lived his life to the fullest and many were brought to the faith through his life, however, even with his passing, it can be said as the Hebrew writer said of Abel, “he being dead still speaks.” May God be gloried through this conversation.

Strength to Strength welcomes Dean Taylor for another episode on the Radical Reformation. In this episode of Strength to Strength, Dean Taylor revisits the Radical Reformation through the lens of the sacraments—Baptism and Communion—and challenges many of our modern assumptions about them.

October 11, 2025 Strength to Strength welcomed Dean Taylor for a conversation on the Radical Reformation—that fascinating yet often misunderstood period that followed the medieval and magisterial reformations.

Hector Troyer . Get ready for a frank and honest look at the underside of today’s Anabaptist evangelism culture. We’ll talk about some pretty sacred stuff. Like… Is worldly Christianity’s view of a relationship with Jesus destroying the Mennonite understanding of the Gospel?

October 4, 2025 Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Christina Baer to discuss a common, but underappreciated, phrase from the Bible.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Susan Schlabach to answer the question: How do we become women who make wise choices in the marketplace of life?

Join us as we explore how the Church has wrestled with...
