The Anabaptist view of Gelassenheit

In this sermon, Brother Jeremy explores the historical strength of the Anabaptist martyrs, attributing their extraordinary power to face death to the concept of Gelassenheit—a deep, spiritual yieldedness and surrender of self-will to God. He illustrates this through moving historical accounts of martyrs who chose suffering over compromise, emphasizing that true discipleship is not achieved by human effort but by daily dying to self. Ultimately, listeners are challenged to examine whether their own lives reflect this total surrender.
