Episode 160 | The Eternal Current with Aaron Niequist
Thursday Aug 23, 2018
Thursday Aug 23, 2018
Aaron Niequist is the author of the brand new book, The Eternal Current: How a Practice-Based Faith Can Save us From Drowning.
When the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Aaron determined God must have a wider vision for worship and community.
In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way "practice-based faith."
This book is about loving one's faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer. By adopting some new spiritual practices, it is possible to learn to swim again with a renewed sense of vigor and divine purpose.
Enjoy!

Episode 157 | Rethinking Incarceration with Dominique Gilliard
Thursday Aug 02, 2018
Thursday Aug 02, 2018
In Rethinking Incarceration, Dominique Gilliard explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration, examining Christianity’s role in its evolution and expansion. He assesses our nation’s ethic of meritocratic justice in light of Scripture and exposes the theologies that embolden mass incarceration. Gilliard then shows how Christians can pursue justice that restores and reconciles, offering creative solutions and highlighting innovative interventions. God's justice is ultimately restorative, not just punitive. Discover how Christians can participate in the restoration and redemption of the incarceration system.
In our conversation, we talked about:
- The United States has 5 percent of the world's population but 25 percent of the world's incarcerated.
- We have more people locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers than any other country in the history of the world. There are more jails and prisons than degree-granting colleges and universities, and in many places, more people live behind bars than on college campuses.
- Mass incarceration has become a lucrative industry, and the criminal justice system is plagued with bias and unjust practices. And the church has unwittingly contributed to these problems.
You can get in touch with Dominique Gilliard by following him on Twitter, Facebook, or his website.
