Strength to Strength
Strength to Strength offers resources that will strengthen your obedient love-faith relationship with King Jesus and give you solid footing in a shaky world. VISION: Inspire flourishing communities of faithful Jesus-followers around the world. MISSION: Advance Jesus’ kingdom by assisting the church in earnestly contending for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints, through tackling thought-provoking topics, by stimulating candid discussions, and by sharing faith-building testimonies. ACTION: We do this by providing multimedia resources including podcasts, videos, and books, and by pointing people to local communities of believers. Our speakers and writers are supportive of a Christ-centered, kingdom-focused, Scripture-based way of life, specifically as modeled by the Anabaptist tradition. However, we will sell books not written by kingdom Christians when they are able to share a unique or challenging perspective. In engaging with any of our resources we encourage you to be a Berean.

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. Too often, he argues, the early Anabaptists are dismissed as anti-sacramental. In reality, their vision was profoundly sacramental—rooted in a re...

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.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Christina Baer to discuss a common, but underappreciated, phrase from the Bible.
Scripture says that our bodies are temples and the Spirit of God dwells in us. This phrase can get tossed around quite a bit, but what does it mean for us Christian women? How should we conduct ourselves inwardly, outwardly and spiritually?

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?
Eve showed us that as women we are vulnerable to the voices out there. What happened at Eden also shows that even when we lack discernment, we have influence.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Carol Nisly to share about cultivating meaningful personal Bible Study.
"He to whom the Eternal Word speaketh is delivered from a multitude of opinions." —Thomas à Kempis

While the amount of time spent in person...

Strength to Strength welcomed Philip Hess to discuss the canonization of the New Testament.
Christians believe that the New Testament is not only a trustworthy record of historical events in the first first century but the inspired revelation of God’s Son and his new covenant with mankind. But how did we get the New Testament? How do we know that it is inspired? How do we know that we have the collection of inspired wri...
Strength to Strength welcomed David Anderson for a discussion of what monasticism contributes to a holistic and healthy life.

Strength to Strength welcomed David Anderson to discuss the nature of the church.

We all want to be part of changing the world but let’s be real, many things—the world, the flesh and the devil, a.k.a., tech, tiredness and toys—can threaten this dream and make it seem distant and dull. How do we cut through the noise and stay true to our values?
We will dive into three mindsets that can make a real difference: subversive lo...
