Growing up Amish with Mary Yoder


TUNE IN:  AMAZON MUSIC APPLE PODCASTS | STITCHER | SPOTIFY  | PANDORA


Mary Yoder is a wife and mama of six who loves Jesus and someone who grew up Amish.

Let’s be honest, for most of us bonnets, beards, horses and buggies are all that we know about the Amish culture. Even for me personally, growing up in an area that was full of Amish and Mennonite people, I actually knew very little about what things looked like inside of their community. 

That was… until an Amish gentleman started working on my dad’s farm. Slowly, but surely our families began to learn more about each other and slowly but surely, our families formed an unbreakable bond. 

Today Mary Yoder, the mama of that family is one of my dearest friends. She’s a beautiful soul and when you look in her eyes you can actually see the joy of Jesus shining through. Those shining eyes of hers have been on quite a journey, a life transformation actually and she’s about to share it all with you.

Whether you think you know a lot about the Amish culture or you have no idea what it’s all about but you’re curious to know more, this episode is one that will have you on the edge of your seat. Prepare to be clinging to every word as Mary shares her story, explaining in detail how she grew up Amish, got married and had six children, then alongside her husband made the decision to leave the Amish community.



Tune in episode #23 of the Stepping Into a Joy Filled Life podcast, as Mary and I discuss:

  • What it was like to grow up in the Amish culture
  • How she met her husband and how they navigated the Amish rules for dating and marriage
  • Their eye-opening journey of leaving the Amish community
  • What their life looks like these days and
  • How their faith grew during the process

    Thank you for sharing your story! My family and I are so blessed to have gotten to know your family. We love and miss y’all!

  2. I have discovered Mary’s YouTube videos. I have so many interests in her work. I, too, absolutely love white paint. I am not a wood finish person. I admire her work, her family commitment & her dedication to her work.
