Notes from Shane Claiborne's initial talk at the Henri Nouwen 'Way of the Heart Conference' - June 10, 2016
- Learning that comes to life
- The whole point of receiving information is transformation
- To re-educate is why Jesus came
- Teach us how to use our hands that brings to life what we are learning
- Challenge the status quo, to take the words of Jesus seriously
- Grew up in East Tennessee
- Prom King
- Still recovering from my conversion
- In my early days in church, there wasn't the fire
- Then I went to a wild charismatic church
- I chose Jesus because he is beautiful
- Jesus became someone he knew and loved
- We have stopped talking about Jesus
- We need to rekindle our love for Jesus
- Jesus born in the midst of a genocide, soon a refugee
- God entering into the crap
- The kingdom compels us in a different direction
- Prayer is our getting acclimatized to being used of God
- Seeing Jesus in his most distressing disguises
- What it looks like when Jesus lives in me
- The holy one in me honours the holy one in you
- Calcuttas are everywhere
- As Mother Theresa encouraged us: We must do small things with great love
- We have grown out of proximity with the hurting and the poor
- More fashionable to talk about the poor rather than talk to the poor
- Everything in the world is pulling us away from the poor
- We must reverse this to be in relationship with the poor
- What is in question is our laws
- As Christians we are to live in ways that don't compute
- We are maladjusted people in a world which has become adjusted to injustice
- All of us are beloved
- The world is looking for honest Christians
- Owning our brokenness
- Come from a place of confession
- God works through the cracks
- Saul more like ISIS
- God prefers broken vessels
- A stuttering man becomes a prophet
- Our bruises and scars are our credentials
