 Hello everyone, it's time for a brief update about Anabaptist Perspectives and our mission and impact. Over the last four years, we have released over 140 episodes. You may have noticed things have been a bit quiet on our channels recently, but that will soon change. Next spring, we'll be rolling out Season 4, and thanks to various generous donors, we've been able to significantly upgrade our filming and audio equipment. We've also found better ways to do remote episodes, which should be a vast improvement over the Zoom calls we've done in the past. It has been humbling to see how some of our episodes have been the right thing at the right time for some people. For example, Jeff from England writes, I hope you're not closing down this YouTube channel though, as I have learned 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 southeast of England where I live as a 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 the amazing people that I've interviewed here. Thank you for the encouragement, Jeff. We wish you and your region God's blessing. Hi, I'm Jaren. Back when Reagan and I started this channel in 2017, we had two objectives. To describe and defend Anabaptist theology and biblical elements of contemporary Anabaptist lifestyle and two, to promote biblical discussions among Anabaptist people about social and cultural issues while providing non-Anabaptist people with ways to think about social and cultural issues that differ from the dominant media and news sources. I think we would say it differently now four years later, but those basic principles still undergird 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've focused on online accessible media. We started with YouTube, Facebook, and a podcast and have since gone to include Telegram, Cloudvale, and Instagram as well. We believe making our content easily accessible through the internet is important for reaching this generation. We have also developed a blog called Essays for King Jesus, which is available through our website as well as through Telegram and Cloudvale and as a separate podcast with audio recordings of those essays. As we look forward into 2022, personnel will be key. We've assembled a great team, but we would love for them to be able to put in more consistent hours to move various projects forward. In order to do that, we will need to significantly expand our supporter base. From the beginning, we have been supported by those who share our vision. We are very grateful to all of you who have either given monthly donations or periodic contributions. Currently, we have around 75 people that are part of our monthly partnership program. In order for Anabaptist perspectives to continue to grow and take on more projects, that number needs to grow significantly. As a monthly supporter, you will gain access to exclusive bonus content in addition to our normal episodes as well as our partner exclusive podcast called Ask Anabaptist Perspectives Anything where we dive deep into audience questions. To support us, go to AnabaptistPerspectives.org slash donate or follow us over on Patreon at patreon.com slash Anabaptist Perspectives. Thank you so much for your support and we will see you in season 4.
