He defines what is meant by a seeker, and addresses several issues that keep seekers out of churches. Next week the conversation will be continued with Ernest presenting specific pointers to churches wanting to welcome seekers, and to individuals who are investigating joining a church. \n\nWorks Cited by Ernest:\n\nNo Greater Burden: https://www.plainnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/No-Greater-Burden-in-2014-.pdf\n\nOverview of Values Commonly Held by Conservative Anabaptists: https://www.plainnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Overview-of-Values-Commonly-Held-by-OO-CA-and-Similar.pdf\n\nChristian Order: https://www.churchplantersforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/CPF-Christian-Order-or-the-Remnant-Ernest-Eby.pdf\n \nRule of Life: https://www.churchplantersforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/CPF-Rule-of-Life-Ernest-Eby.pdf\n\nNurturing a Culture that Inspires Christian Growth: https://www.plainnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Nurturing-a-Culture-that-Inspires-Christian-Growth-Article.pdf\n \nAn Overview of the Plain People: https://www.plainnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/An-Overview-of-the-Plain-People-2019-01-11.pdf\n\nFinding Fellowship in the 21st Century, CD: https://www.scrollpublishing.com/store/product2376.html\n\nThis is the 51st episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.\n\nRead the blog: www.anabaptistperspectives.org/\n\nVisit our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/anabaptistperspectives/\n\nConnect with us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/anabaptistperspectives/\n\nSupport us at: www.patreon.com/anabaptistperspectives\n\nMusic: \"The Basket\" by Blue Dot Sessions\n\nThe views expressed by our guests are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Anabaptist Perspectives or Wellspring Mennonite Church.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/42e75fa8-9319-4c71-84da-69891804ab36/avatars-000377456654-zejpwi-original.jpg"}
