What If Jesus Meant the Stuff He Said? with Shane Claiborne

Author & activist Shane Claiborne worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta & founded the Simple Way in Philadelphia. His many books include The Irresistible Revolution, Jesus for President, Executing Grace, & his latest, Beating Guns. In this special episode of the Zeitcast, we are on location with Shane at the Red Letter Revival in Goldsboro, NC—outside his solar-powered skoolie (a school bus converted into a tiny house!). We talk about the ways in which the language of evangelical faith has been co-opted in the era of Trump, the need for a counter witness (& an outright revival!), how the way of Jesus is in fact narrow, the need for the power of the Spirit in justice work, & how his faith has explicitly motivated him to organize on the issues of gun violence & the death penalty.
