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.

Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus is not just about the world to come, but coming to see the world as it is from a different point of view. There is in fact a "great chasm between us." But trapped within the matrix, most of us are blissfully unaware of the world as it really is. This provocative message is an invitation to a different kind of seeing. 1

Since we believe the release of David Bentley Hart’s That All Shall be Saved is a significant event, we felt like it deserved a significant review! And who better to do it than these two distinguished professors and our dear friends, Chris Green, professor of theology at Southeastern University (and author of Surprised by God, The End is Music, Sanctifying Interpretation, & Toward a Pentecostal Theology of the Lord’s Supper) and Brad Jersak (Her Gates Will Never Be Shut, A More Christlike God, A More Christlike Way, IN: Incarnation & Inclusion, Abba & Lamb). We share our thoughts on Hart’s book, eternal conscious torment, inclusion, whether or not the language of universalism is helpful, and much more!

Real-time reflection on the developing story of Trump, the whistleblower, and talk of impeachment—connecting authoritarian tendencies in the White House to authoritarian tendencies in the Church (“honor culture,” Jerry Falwell Jr., etc.). Authority structures are shaking. Are the winds of change against God, or are the winds of change the breath of God?

Live from New Orleans–How do we love our neighbors who vote differently than we do?! In this highly politicized, polarized time, where we have unprecedented access to what our neighbors actually think about politics than we ever have before–finding a way to love "THEM" is no small thing! Is it even possible for people anymore to have deep ideological disagreement, and yet still maintain relationship with each other?

As a Jungian psychotherapist and devout Christian, Tony Caldwell brings critical perspective to religious trauma, spiritual abuse, depression and suicide in faith communities. Why is it that the places that ought to be the safest things to talk about the things we hide in the dark, are often the least safe? How do we recognize religious trauma & spiritual abuse in ourselves & others? And why is that even those of us with a deep practice of our faith, still need a good therapist?

Where have you felt wanted? When have you felt delighted in? Could it be that any time you have brushed up against desire or delight--you brushed up against God? From a sermon preached at the Table in Oklahoma City, OK.

Recorded on location backstage at Chesapeake Arena in OKC after a Hillsong United show, the world renown songwriter and worship leader sits down for an intimate conversation. Admitting he never felt a sense of “calling” or “purpose” himself, Joel Houston talks about trusting God to make a story of our lives; the painful, liberating business of becoming aware, and the hope and beauty he found at rock bottom.
