Summary
Shane Claiborne’s deepest conviction is that we are meant to live ‘as if Jesus meant the things he said’. So for him that has meant living in community in inner-city Philadelphia for a few decades now, having picked up some lessons from a stint working under Mother Teresa in Calcutta. His activism has involved confronting various systemic injustices and speaking up for and standing alongside those whose voices aren’t being heard. It’s a powerful and challenging podcast.

| 0:00.0 | The policies that were crushing our poor and homeless neighbors, these are not just anomalies, |
| 0:07.0 | right? What was happening in the cathedral began to turn into policies on the street, |
| 0:13.0 | and they arrested all of us, putting handcuffs, taken to jail. We did take our case to court, |
| 0:18.0 | and I had a shirt on that said Jesus was homeless. |
| 0:21.8 | And one of the first things that the judge did in the middle court was he goes, come here, |
| 0:25.4 | Jesus was homeless. |
| 0:26.4 | Tell me about that. |
| 0:27.4 | I said, well, your honor, in scripture, Jesus says, foxes have holes, birds of the |
| 0:31.1 | air have nests, but the son of man is no place to lay his head. |
| 0:34.6 | Jesus was homeless. |
| 0:35.6 | And the judge said, you guys might stand to can't. And we did. |

| 0:46.5 | encouragement as we hear some wonderful, challenging, stirring stories. If you're new to us, |
| 0:51.5 | I think we're all, well, we've just had enough of being bombarded |
| 0:54.9 | by a relentless barrage of negativity in the press that just induced us fear and anxiety and |
| 1:00.9 | apathy, cynicism, that sort of stuff. We need to hear from practitioners who are doing beautiful |
| 1:04.7 | stuff around the world. And I've got no doubt you're going to be very challenged, very inspired |
| 1:09.7 | this week because we got with us the wonderful Shane Claiborne. |
