According to anti-death penalty activist and author Shane Claiborne, American Christians have long been beholden to a hyper-punitive model of justice that favors the wealthy, white, and well-connected. But as he details in this episode, many within the church are awakening to a radically new vision of justice that opposes the death penalty not in spite of the Christian faith, but because of it. Central to this vision is the crucifixion of Christ – a bloody sacrifice that many consider to be the execution to end all executions.   Shane’s website: http://executinggrace.com/   Death Penalty Information Center: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/   Death Penalty Action: https://deathpenaltyaction.org/   Watch this video: youtube.com/maybegodpodcast   Donate to future episodes: www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God on Instagram and Facebook: @maybegodpod

In 2018, the Maybe God team flew to L.A. to speak with Debra Hirsch, author of "Redeeming Sex: Naked Conversations about Sexuality and Spirituality". Deb tells the unbelievable story of finding her way to Jesus through her imprisoned drug dealer in Australia and addresses the overwhelming need in our society (and churches) to have deeper conversations about sex. She laments the way most cultural conversations about sex are reduced to mere intercourse, and she challenges all people (married, single, LGBTQ+, straight, Christian and non-religious) to think more broadly about the breathtaking, rapturous gift of human sexuality.  Exclusive Washington, DC Screening of ACROSS: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/exclusive-movie-premiere-award-winning-across-documentary-tickets-704643265977   Featured book:  Redeeming Sex: Naked Conversations about Sexuality and Spirituality by Debra Hirsch   Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Donate to future episodes: www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Follow Maybe God on Instagram and Facebook: @maybegodpod
