  Can You Trust the Bible? Communion, Manuscripts & Christianity Explained

  Aug 13, 202620 min

  One episode. Three foundational questions. What would happen if everyone in society were genuinely Christian? Does the Bible teach that communion literally becomes the body and blood of Christ? And is there good historical evidence that the Bible we read today accurately reflects the original writings? Don, Grant, and Rowan examine these questions by comparing biblical texts, historical evidence, and competing Christian traditions. Along the way, they discuss John 6, transubstantiation, the Dead Sea Scrolls, New Testament manuscripts, and why textual reliability matters for everyday faith. The episode concludes with a personal farewell as Rowan leaves for college and reflects on what nearly 150 episodes of RELISH have meant. Chapters 00:00:32 Would a Truly Christian Society Work? 00:02:52 Is Communion Really the Body and Blood of Christ? 00:06:50 What Did Jesus Mean by "Bread of Life"? 00:11:06 Can We Really Trust the Bible? 00:16:41 Rowan's Farewell & Final Reflections

  Should Christians Fight in War? Mennonites, Catholics & What the Bible Says

  Aug 6, 202621 min

  Christians often agree on the gospel while disagreeing on difficult questions of ethics and church practice. Why? In this episode of Relish, Rowan Miller, Don Patterson, and Grant Bender examine three major areas where Christians reach different conclusions from Scripture. They discuss biblical care for the poor, the debate over just war and Christian pacifism, and Catholic and Mennonite views of baptism. Along the way they consider Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Christian involvement in public life, and several key biblical passages including the Good Samaritan, 1 Peter, 1 John, and John 3. Rather than assuming easy answers, this conversation asks how Christians should interpret Scripture carefully and consistently when faithful believers disagree. 00:00:28 — What Does the Bible Say About Helping the Poor? 00:01:45 — Can Christians Ever Support Just War? 00:06:11 — Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Hitler & Christian Responsibility 00:09:17 — Church, Government & Christian Nationalism 00:11:50 — Why Catholics Practice Infant Baptism 00:17:55 — Infant Baptism vs. Believer's Baptism 00:20:03 — Final Thoughts: Where Christians Still Disagree

  Are Tattoos, Gambling, and Singleness Really Sins? What the Bible Actually Says

  Jul 23, 202623 min

  Many Christians have questions that aren't answered with a simple proof text. Is disability always something to be healed? Why does Paul speak so highly of singleness? Are tattoos and piercings sinful? Is gambling simply entertainment, or does Scripture raise deeper concerns? In this episode, Rowan Miller and Pastor Don Patterson work through these questions by looking carefully at biblical context rather than popular opinion. Beginning with a personal story involving clubfoot and healing, the conversation moves into Paul's teaching on singleness, the body as God's temple, Christian freedom, stewardship, and wisdom. Whether you agree or disagree, this discussion is designed to help you think more carefully about what Scripture says—and what it doesn't. 00:00:33 Why God Allows Disability: Purpose, Pain & Hope 00:03:46 A Clubfoot Miracle That Changed Everything 00:06:24 Why Paul Recommended Singleness 00:11:34 Does the Bible Forbid Tattoos & Piercings? 00:18:10 Is Gambling a Sin?

  Episode #257

  Did Lucifer Really Have Free Will?

  Jul 16, 202619 min

  Religion and politics are often treated as enemies—or merged together without much thought. But what does Scripture actually teach? In this episode, Rowan Miller and Pastor Don Patterson discuss the biblical relationship between church and government, why the Anabaptists emerged during the Reformation, and what the Bible says about Lucifer, fallen angels, temptation, and human pride. The goal isn't to win political arguments but to understand God's design for authority, freedom, and obedience through the lens of Scripture. 00:01:24 — Should Christians Be Involved in Politics? 00:04:59 — Church vs. Government: Where Is the Biblical Line? 00:05:42 — Why the Anabaptists Rejected State-Controlled Religion 00:10:11 — Did Lucifer Have Free Will? 00:12:56 — What Are Fallen Angels Doing Today? 00:15:08 — Pride, Temptation, and Satan's First Sin 00:16:46 — Why Humans Choose Their Own Way 00:18:13 — Final Thoughts: Authority, Freedom, and Obedience
