On today's episode we are excited to bring you Shane Claiborne - a prominent speaker, activist and best-selling author - to talk faith, politics, and Jesus with producer, Sheri Rosendahl.

Shane worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, and founded The Simple Way in Philadelphia. He heads up Red Letter Christians, a movement of folks who are committed to living "as if Jesus meant the things he said." Shane is a champion for grace which has led him to jail advocating for the homeless, and to places like Iraq and Afghanistan to stand against war. Now grace fuels his passion to end the death penalty and help stop gun violence.
