When we ask God to move a mountain, God may give us a shovel.
Shane Claiborne
My goal is to speak the truth in love. There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth.

To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians.
Shane Claiborne
Biological family is too small of a vision. Patriotism is far too myopic. A love for our own relatives and a love for the people of our own country are not bad things, but our love does not stop at the border.
Shane Claiborne
Rather than finding the devil out there, we battle the devil within us. The revolution starts inside each of us.

As an American, and especially as a Christian, I am convinced that a love for our own people is not a bad thing, but love doesn't stop at borders. Love is infinitely boundless and all about holy trespassing and offensive friendships.
Shane Claiborne
I say let's be idealists. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not yet see (Hebrews 11:1).
Shane Claiborne
We've heard from people all around the world, telling us that this is their reality. People need a way to connect the sometimes really hard reality in which they wake up each morning with the movement of the Spirit.
Shane Claiborne
That is the power of the Eucharist. At the communion table you have rich and poor together in the early church and they were being challenged.
Shane Claiborne
Look through the prayer books. You'll see lots of dates. You'll see names of Native Americans remembered. This was an open-sourcing project among so many people.
Shane Claiborne
The more recent effort to encourage everyone to pray in common involves so many people.
Shane Claiborne
To refer to the Church as a building is to call people 2 x 4's.
Shane Claiborne
I'm excited we can be part of making the death penalty history.
Shane Claiborne
Somehow Jesus's reputation has survived all the embarrassing things that Christians have done in his name.
Shane Claiborne
We are setting ourselves up for disappointment if our hope is built on anything less than Jesus.
Shane Claiborne
It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.
