The Jesus Way in the World Today

Please note that registration will close when a session has reached capacity, or at 8:00am the day of the session, whichever comes first. Please plan ahead!

We will also be livestreaming this event on our YouTube channel, PendleHillUSA.

Our faith is not just a way of believing. It is a way of living in the world. Christians are meant to be non-conformists, interrupting the patterns of our world with prophetic imagination. We should be a holy counterculture. Shane will share stories of contemporary communities who are living with beautiful creativity and sometimes getting in a little trouble for it. After all, the Kingdom of God is not just something we hope for when we die, but something that we are to bring on earth as it is in heaven.

He heads up Red Letter Christians, a movement of folks who are committed to living “as if Jesus meant the things he said.” Shane is a champion for grace which has led him to jail advocating for the homeless, and to places like Iraq and Afghanistan to stand against war. Now grace fuels his passion to end the death penalty and help stop gun violence.

His work has appeared in Esquire, SPIN, Christianity Today, TIME, and The Wall Street Journal, and he has been on everything from Fox News and Al Jazeera to CNN and NPR.
