What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? Especially in a world full of political power struggles, religious tribalism, and cultural confusion? In this episode, Cody Cook joins us to explore the heart of Anabaptist theology: a faith rooted in community, peace, and the cross. Drawing from his book The Pocket Anabaptist, Cody helps us rediscover a simple but radical invitation to live like Jesus, not just believe in Him.
The guys are back with special guest Shane Claiborne to talk about his book "Rethinking Life: Embracing the Sacredness of Every Person." Reforming guns into gardening tools, Shane takes the peace perspective to the next level by rethinking the Christian call to be a peacemaker.
