Shane Claiborne, Author & Activist - Episode 29 - on the death penalty, celebrityism as idolatry, speaking the truth in love, and how to engage in being an ordinary radical in marriage

Noah Filipiak interviews Shane Claiborne about how to engage churches in helping the poor, activism and justice issues.  They talk about celebrityism within popular Christianity, about what can be done to stop the death penalty (Shane's latest book is Executing Grace: How the Death Penalty Killed Jesus and Why It's Killing Us), and about how to be an ordinary radical as both a single person and as a married person (and what to do if one spouse is moved toward this and the other isn't).
