Theo talks with a young Amish man from Minnesota who is on Rumspringa: the language and customs, church, school, buggies, pacifism, how Rumspringa and its rules work, baptism and shunning, dating, technology, food and community, Amish taxes and business, and what he’s found dipping a toe into the outside world, from Corvettes and air shows to an Amish hat for Theo.
