Praise Hands

“What would it look like for love, not fear, to shape our policies?” Shane Claiborne    As an activist, author, and speaker, Shane Claiborne has shaped a generation’s view of Jesus and social change. His radical activism has led him to Iraq and Afghanistan (for anti-war efforts), jail (for homeless advocacy), Calcutta (for work with Mother Teresa), and to Washington DC, where today’s interview took place a few steps from The White House.    In this episode highlighting the 2020 Presidential Election, Shane shares:  • Why the death penalty is incompatible with Christian teaching  • How the American church has neglected the teachings of Jesus  • How restorative justice and forgiveness can fix the US prison system    Each week on the Praise Hands Podcast, join Robby Valderrama and learn from creative, cross-cultural solutionists at the American intersection of church, race, music, and economics. Donate, volunteer, and join the Praise Hands Facebook Group at http://praisehands.com/getinvol
