Even gun buybacks and incentivized gun surrender events can be problematic, because law enforcement agencies have a record of putting the guns right back on the market. Just as it is unthinkable for police to sell back heroin from a drug bust, we have to insist that law enforcement agencies stop selling weapons. It is a violation of their pledge to serve and protect. We’ve all heard of the black market, but it has become clear that there is an e...

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s framework that the Church is not the master or the servant of the State, but the consciousness of the State. This is a framework that gives us the freedom as Jesus-followers to actively and wholeheartedly engage with politics. It is our job that when the State causes harm to our fellow image-bearers, we critique the State at the ballot box because of our convictions of love and God’s desire to see human flourishing.

Within five years, every man, woman, and child in the country will be able to dual wield AK-47s to combat the impending alien invasion invasion, and I just don't know that we can, in good conscience, condemn that strategy. However, easy access to firearms comes at a price. 2020 s...

VoxologyMisfit Tribe: Redefining Pro-Life and Following Jesus in a Violent World - w/ Shane ClaiborneHow the way of Jesus invites us to rethink gun violence, church leadership, and what it really means to be "pro-life." In this powerful conversation, Mike and Tim are joined by author, activist, and Red Letter Christian co-founder Shane Claiborne for a deeply compelling and often hilarious episode exploring faith, justice, and embodied discipleship. While reflecting on his own spiritual evolution (including an early obsession with leadership books, apologetics, and megachurch culture), Mike shares the deeply spiritual act of letting go—literally—through a symbolic home purge involving a dumpster he nicknames "Gehenna."

We recorded this episode on March 24th - a few days after mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, and the 3rd anniversary of the March For Our Lives. The conversation includes why gun violence is both a heart problem and a law/legislation problem, why Americans make idols of guns and rugged individualism, and Virginia becoming the 23rd state to outlaw the death penalty. The problem of gun violence can certainly look bleak, but Shane has an infectious hope that meaningful change is possible, an...

Rethinking FaithExecuting Grace - With Shane ClaiborneThis week we were joined by Shane Claiborne to discuss the dismantling of the death penalty. Today it is not uncommon for Christians to say they are "pro-life" and at the same time be the biggest supporters of the death penalty. Is this the way of Jesus? We think not!

From the back cover: "Jesus for President is a radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people "set apart" from this world. In what can be termed lyrical theology, Jesus for President poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its...

The Weight0019 - The Weight - Shane Claiborne - "Living In Community"Show Notes:Christianity offers a radical redefinition of community that challenges the priorities and sensibilities that we in the church have come to embrace. Christians follow a savior who instructed his followers to relinquish belongings, wealth, and social status in order to follow him. Christians are a part of a universal church that began with a group of believers who shared everything they had with the community that they were a part of. It’s easy to see how such an example has become less prolific, specifically in the American church. What does it look li...
