Shane Claiborne: When Loving Your Neighbor Gets You Arrested

from The Holy Club · host Damian Carruthers

This week Damian sits down with the one and only Shane Claiborne for a conversation that’s part prophetic fire, part holy mischief, and part “United Methodists are obviously the best Christians” (Shane said it… kind of). We dig into the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church, especially the Political Community section, aka that part of the book that keeps us honest when the gospel gets hijacked. Shane shares stories from his own journey, the rise and danger of Christian Nationalism in the U.S., and how faith gets twisted by political power. We also talk about why Christians must oppose the death penalty—no exceptions—because we believe in resurrection, redemption, and second chances. It’s bold, it’s challenging, it’s hopeful, and it’s very… us. Tune in and let’s keep asking better questions together.
