Transcript

It’s time for a quick update on the Anabaptist Perspectives

mission and impact as well as our current needs. Over the last 4 years we have

been privileged to release over 140 episodes. Right now things are a bit quiet

on our channels, as we are hard at work behind the scenes

Next spring, we will roll out Season 4. Thanks to generous

donors we were able to upgrade our filming and recording gear.

We have also developed our ability to do high quality remote

interviews—a huge step up from the Zoom calls we have used in the past.

Its been humbling to see how some of our episodes have been

the right thing at the right time for some people. For example Jeff writes from

England:

“I hope

you're not closing down this YouTube channel though. As I have learnt so much

and have been challenged in my faith and walk in Christ. I now consider myself

to be an Anabaptist Kingdom Christian..... I believe that God will do something

huge here in the South East of England where I live as result of the flame

that's been kindled in my heart to see the Lord do something really radical as

a result of the teaching I have received from some of amazing people

that have interviewed here!”

Thanks for the encouragement Jeff! We wish you and your

region God’s blessing.

Back in 2017 when Reagan and I started this channel we

defined two objectives:

                1. To describe and defend Anabaptist

theology and biblical elements of contemporary Anabaptist lifestyle.

2. To promote biblical discussions among

Anabaptist people about social and cultural issue while providing non-Anabaptist

people with ways to think about social and cultural issues that differ from the

dominant media and news sources.

While we might say it a bit differently 4 years later, that

vision still undergirds Anabaptist Perspectives. If anything we are reaffirming

and strengthening our commitment to depth and integrity in our conversations on

theology, culture, and lifestyle. We seek to inspire thoughtful, faithful

living.

From day one we have focused on “accessible online media.”

We started with YouTube, Facebook, and a podcast. We knew this was where the

media needed to be for our generation.

Since then, we have added a Telegram and CloudVeil group and

Instagram

We have also developed our own blog called “Essays for King

Jesus”, which has its own Telegram/CloudVeil group and a separate podcast

featuring audio recordings.

As we look forward to 2022 and the coming years, personnel

are key to maximize the many opportunities in front of us. We have gathered a

great team, and would love for them to be able to spend more consistent time

driving these projects forward. To do that we need to extend our financial

support base.

From the beginning we have been supported by those who share

our vision. We are very grateful to all of you who support us with monthly

financial contributions or periodic donations. This organization exists because

of you. Currently we have about 75 monthly partners. For Anabaptist

Perspectives to be continue to grow, we need many more monthly partners.

As a Monthly partner you will have access regular bonus

content, in addition to our normal episodes, as well as our partner exclusive

Ask Anabaptist Perspectives Anything Podcast, where we delve into audience

questions.
