S2E7 - God of Wild Donkeys

S2E8 - St. George the Unflappable

After the debate doesn't go the way they hoped, the Bible study group switches to another location to discuss their way forward, and their lives and the Christian church would never be the same again.

S2E7 - God of Wild Donkeys

This is a sermon episode. This sermon was preached at Trinity Mennonite Church on January 18, 2026. Building on creation texts of Genesis 1 & 2, Psalm 104, and Job 38-40, there are mentions of God's care and provision for wild donkeys. The Anabaptist story in Zurich and other places could not have happened without the role of wild donkeys.

S2E6 - The Castelberger Joint

Disssatisfied with the way things are going, a group of reform minded scholars in Zurich start studying without the main reforming priest in the city. They fight about new theological issues, welcome new members, and deal with new crises.

S2E5 - Kingdom of the Plow

In this sermon, I go through the stories of Luke 9 (feeding the 5,000, Jesus asks his discples who the people say he is, Jesus' transfiguration) and connect them with the journey of the early Swiss Anabaptists deciding where they fit in the larger Reformation story.

S2E4 - Saint Anna's Fire

The Reformation in Switzerland continues as Zwingli and a growing number of other local pastors start advocating for the removal of sacred images in churches, cathedrals, and monasteries. The city hosts another debate, but almost nobody is satisfied with the results.
