645: The Red Letter Legacy of Tony Campolo with Shane Claiborne

Mike Erre joins Phil and Skye to discuss how to survive the holidays. What’s the best way to engage (or disengage) a contentious relative who wants to argue about politics, and how do we remain united as churches and families in these divided times? Professor, author, and preacher Tony Campolo died last week. Shane Claiborne returns to discuss his friendship with Campolo and his legacy of challenging the American church with the “red letters” of the Bible. Also this week—what’s the real goal behind protecting public nativity displays, and disappointed political witches.   0:00 - Intro   1:33 - Show Starts   2:50 - Theme Song   3:12 - Sponsor - Wheaton Graduate School - Learn in a rich, rigorous Christian environment - https://www.wheaton.edu/holypost   4:20 - Sponsor - BioLogos - Go to https://biologos.org/podcast/language-of-god/ and check out the Language of God podcast!   5:24 - Interview    6:42 - Political Witches   12:54 - The Liberty Council’s Annual Report   17:19 - Tony Campolo’s Passing   26:35 - Being Grateful   46:03 - Favorite Conflict-Deflection Topic   54:05 - Sponsor - Aura Frames - Exclusive $45-off Carver Mat at https://www.AuraFrames.com.
