Episode 3: Jesus Isn’t Triggered by Justice, But We Might Be
Justice makes some Christians squirm, but Jesus never flinched. So why do we?

In this episode, we untangle the difference between biblical justice and the modern versions we see in headlines and hashtags. We’ll unpack the Hebrew words (mishpat, tzedakah), explore the vision of shalom as kingdom come, and ask why justice has become such a trigger in the Church when it’s actually central to God’s character. We’ll also spend time with the prophet Amos and his bold, uncompromising call: “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream” (Amos 5:24).

This isn’t about politics. It’s about discipleship. Or as Cornel West puts it, “Justice is what love looks like in public.”

So if you’ve ever been told that justice is a “distraction” from the gospel or if you’ve wondered whether your passion for justice puts your faith at risk, this episode might flip the table (gently).
