Jesus, Justice + Mercy: Bold faith, radical love and justice for the church

Weapons Down: What God Requires for a Faith at War with Itself


Listen Later

When faith fights for power instead of people, it stops looking like Jesus.

In this episode of Jesus, Justice + Mercy, Kristen unpacks Micah’s call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly alongside Isaiah’s daring vision to beat swords into plowshares.
Set against the backdrop of empire, fear, and misplaced trust, these prophets reveal what God requires in a faith that’s forgotten its purpose.

From Christian nationalism to performative religion, Kristen explores how humility and imagination can heal what fear has fractured, and why true peace begins when we lay our weapons down.

And this week, she steps onto her soapbox (with love) to challenge white women to join the work women of color have been carrying for generations, leading, organizing, and voting toward justice even when it costs them.
Because justice won’t move forward on borrowed courage.

You’ll walk away challenged and grounded, ready to let your worship sound like justice and your faith look like peace.

In this episode:
• What Micah 6:8 really means in a culture obsessed with control
• How Isaiah’s vision of peace redefines strength
• Why fear and power still shape modern faith
• What it looks like to live justice daily, not just declare it
• How prophetic imagination still rebuilds hope today
• A call for white women to move from silence to solidarity
