| 6/11/26 |  I Was Born Hindu in India’s Lowest Caste. The Gospel Brings Persecution. - Markus Meena | Markus Meena was born into a difficult situation in northern India.

| 5/14/26 |  Is the World Actually Getting Better? - Jaran Miller & Marlin Sommers | It is common to hear people lament about how the world is getting worse and worse, and as we look at the news and what is happening around the world.

They also look at how this interacts with historical events.A previous episode on thinking well about global politicsA Rival Nations article on Christian optimism “Christian Fundamentals (Mennonite Church, 1921)”“God of Grace and God of Glory““Rise Up, O Men of God”“Father Eternal, Ruler of Creation” Factfullness The Better Angels of Our Nature Data on declining poverty rates A source for data about a bettering worldThis is the 319th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.
