More quotes by Shane Claiborne
God comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.
Shane Claiborne
I believe you know Jesus said a doctor doesn't come to the healthy, but the sick, and it's not the righteous but the sinners that I've come for, so I think that that's the scandal of God's love and grace that no one is beyond redemption, and we can see that all through scripture, you know.
Shane Claiborne
What the Black lives matter movement is doing is they are making it personal. They are making it hash tagged, exposing the racial injustice that continues to haunt our country in a way that you can't ignore. There is power in injustice becoming personal.
Shane Claiborne
What is the point in calling anything God if it does not also hold sway in every part of one's life--especially one's politics?
Shane Claiborne
We give people fish. We teach them to fish. We tear down the walls that have been built up around the fish pond. And we figure out who polluted it.
Shane Claiborne
Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.

Dance until they kill you, and then we'll dance some more.

It is the church's job, as Dr. [Martin Luther] King says, to be the conscience of the state, not the chaplain of the state.

For even if the whole world believed in resurrection, little would change until we began to practice it. We can believe in CPR, but people will remain dead until someone breathes new life into them. And we can tell the world that there is life after death, but the world really seems to be wondering if there is life before death.
Shane Claiborne
There are some Christians who totally disengage from politics and set their minds on heaven so much that their faith is so heavenly minded that it is no earthly good.
Shane Claiborne
I think of the Catholic worker movement and Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and others.
Shane Claiborne
A lot of times people say whatever the government touches, they don't do that well, so why would we trust them with the power over life and death? Do we really believe the system is that perfect that it won't make any mistakes? You can't reverse these mistakes.
Shane Claiborne
People had taught me what Christians believe, but no one had told me how Christians live.
Shane Claiborne
Faith is believing in the impossible because we have a God who is master of impossible.
Shane Claiborne
Whenever folks say radical Christianity is a phase of youth, I tell them they need to meet our 80-year-old nun or my friend Tony Campolo.
Shane Claiborne
It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.
Shane Claiborne
When we ask God to move a mountain, God may give us a shovel.
Shane Claiborne
In the Bible, God uses brothel owners, pagan kings, murderers and mercenaries as instruments of good at one point God even speaks to a guy named Balaam through his donkey.
Shane Claiborne
Over and over, when I ask God why all of these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, You tell me why we allow this to happen. You are my body, my hands, my feet.
Shane Claiborne
There is extreme poverty in Appalachia, where I was, and increasingly poverty is not just an urban thing.
