E116: Death Penalty and Redemptive Violence w/ Shane Claiborne

In this episode, Shane joins Daniel to speak about the death penalty and the myth of redemptive violence. When I first started my pilgrimage of faith back in 2016 or so, one of the first struggles I had was balancing my developing pro-life, restorative justice worldview with things like war, death penalty, and other issues about human well-being, food, etc. I appreciate Shane's perspective and hope you can too even if you disagree with some of his conclusions.

E115: Visions of Restoration w/ Dr. John Young

E114: Penal Substitutionary Atonement Theory w/ Brian Zahnd

Daniel and Brian talk about Penal Substitutionary Atonement Theory. For many Christians, this is equivalent to the gospel, but it is not the only way Christians have talked about the atonement. In fact, it is a fairly recent development, at least in its current form, when compared to the rest of church history. Thinking back to his roots in the Restoration Movement (the Stone-Campbell Movement), Daniel thought that this interview would help us better understand the distaste that Barton W. Stone had for PSA theory.

Solo E4: The Marks of a True Church

What are the marks of a true church? Following a certain pattern of worship? Having a "biblical" name? Or teaching truth? In this episode, Daniel argues that serving the poor and loving one another are far more important marks of a true church than doctrinal disputes and following a pattern of worship.
