Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
This season we are focusing on justice as an aspect of spiritual formation and we believe Lent to be the perfect season to explore this connection. Using A Just Passion: A Six-Week Lenten Journey, and the lectionary, we will look at various aspects of justice, its importance to God and why the modern church has often regrettably failed to live out God's call to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord.” In week one, Ruth brings back Transforming Center team member Tina Harris, and guest Dominique DuBois Gilliard to look at the theme of confession. The three discuss the relational nature of justice, how our silence, inaction, and indifference to injustice breeds relational death, how our privilege can keep us disconnected from the pain of others and more. Lectionary scripture for this week: Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 Psalm 32 Romans 5:12-19 Matthew 4:1-11 Mentioned in this episode: Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores by Dominique DuBois Gilliard Subversive Witness: Scripture's Call to Leverage Privilege by Dominique DuBois Gilliard Dominique DuBois Gilliard is the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Love Mercy Do Justice(LMDJ) initiative of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC).

A preview of our conversation with Dominique DuBois Gilliard and his book Subversive Witness: Scriptures Call to Leveraging our Privilege.
While preparing the way for the Lord, John the Baptist declares, "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance." Many have failed to do this, in part, because repentance has become diluted. Rather than truly turning away from sin--back to God--we often equate repentance with a mere oral confession. This domesticated, unbiblical understanding of repentance bears no fruit and lacks the power to transform broken people, relationships, systems, and structures. Our lack of repentance conforms us to the patterns of this world, keeping us content amid sinful inequities, complicit with systemic injustice, and apathetic in oppressive context. Privilege is largely a social consequence of our unwillingness to reckon with and turn from sin. Scripture repeatedly affirms that privilege is real and declares that, rather than exploiting it for selfish gain or feeling immobilized by it, Christians have an opportunity to steward privilege and a responsibility to leverage it to further the kingdom and sacrificially love our neighbors. In Subversive Witness, read how Dominique DuBois Gilliard... x highlights biblical examples of privileged people who understood this kingdom call x casts a new vision for faithful participation in the inbreaking kingdom as co-laborers with Christ x leads the church to grapple with privilege, indifference, and systemic sin in new ways x uses Scripture to elucidate how privilege emerges from sin, is sustained by our hardened hearts, and keeps us complicit with oppression x demonstrates that Christians can wield privilege as an instrument to pursue justice and further the Kingdom x details Scripture's subversive call to leverage, and at times forsake, privilege to sacrificially love our neighbors, enact systemic change, and advance the kingdom of God Dominique DuBois Gilliard is the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Love Mercy Do Justice (LMDJ) initiative of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). He is the author of Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores, which won the 2018 Book of the Year Award for InterVarsity Press. Gilliard also serves on the board of directors for the Christian Community Development Association and Evangelicals for Justice. In 2015, he was selected as one of the ECC's “40 Under 40” leaders to watch, and the Huffington Post named him one of the “Black Christian Leaders Changing the World.” An ordained minister, Gilliard has served in pastoral ministry in Atlanta, Chicago, and Oakland. He was executive pastor of New Hope Covenant Church in Oakland, California and also served in Oakland as the associate pastor of Convergence Covenant Church. He was also a campus minister at North Park University and the racial righteousness director for ECC's ministry initiatives in the Pacific Southwest Conference. Gilliard earned a bachelor's degree in African American Studies from Georgia State University and a master's degree in history from East Tennessee State University, with an emphasis on race, gender, and class in the United States. He also earned an MDiv from North Park Seminary, where he served as an adjunct professor teaching Christian ethics, theology, and reconciliation.
In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Dominique Gilliard shares about his role of pastoring pastors in the work of making connections between scripture, discipleship, and our call to be ambassadors of reconciliation. He and Jay talk about the role of justice work and racial righteousness in the church, and the Biblical evidence for the marriage of evangelism and justice. Dominique discusses diversity as a revelatory gift from God, some challenging and practical questions to ask if your church is seeking to be a truly multiethnic church, and the work he is doing to provide resources for pastors to engage this conversation from a Biblical perspective.

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the Bible tells stories of people using their status to subvert the status quo and serve their neighbor. Dominique DuBois Gillard, author of Subversive Witness, joins us to talk about how Scripture and the gospel call followers of Jesus to use privilege to sacrificially love their neighbors, enact systemic change, and grow more Christlike as citizens of God's kingdom.Get the book: Subversive Witness: Scripture's Call to Leverage PrivilegeWatch IFBR's 2020 webinar, which Dominique participated in: How The Bible's Story Helps Us Talk About RacismThe Institute for Bible Reading is a nonprofit ministry.

Dominique DuBois Gilliard is back to talk about how power works in systems and structures, and how we can leverage privilege in subversive ways on behalf the the marginalized and oppressed in faithfulness to Scripture. These are the themes of Dominique's new book Subversive Witness: Scripture’s Call to Leverage Privilege. This was a Gravity Commons […] The post Dominique Dubois Gilliard: Leveraging Privilege for Kingdom Justice appeared first on Gravity Leadership.
“The truth of the Gospel is that we belong to each other and that there are not people who are more reflective of the image of God than other people.”Let's allow that statement to guide us through every interaction we have with others. Dominique Gillard lives in Atlanta and serves as the director of racial righteousness and reconciliation. I listened to Dominique's book Subversive Witness and while sitting at the nail salon, I wept. I was so moved by his words and intention on how to leverage privilege.There are people who became instantly uncomfortable by that word: privilege. But what does that word really mean? Dominique breaks it down for us with so much gospel kindness and shares that privilege is a result of a world tainted by sin. It's not just about race, it's about so many different groups and elements that make up our broken world. If our flourishing comes at the expense of other people's lives, are we willing to not flourish in that manner? This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the flourishing of all God's people matters.Connect with JamieFacebook // Twitter // Instagram // YouTubeGET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE

(Mateo 20:13).La meritocracia no es tan bonita como pensamos. Uno de los grandes problemas de este sistema es que hace que los ganadores tiendan a creer que su éxito se debe exclusivamente a su talento y esfuerzo personal. Tendemos a ignorar los elementos aleatorios, como los factores genéticos, las limitaciones geográficas y las condiciones históricas de un período determinado. Haber nacido inteligente, por ejemplo, se debe a una combinación compleja de factores socioculturales y genéticos sobre los cuales no tenemos control alguno.Creer que el éxito se debe exclusivamente a nuestro talento y esfuerzo puede volvernos insensibles para con los que fracasan. Si nuestro éxito se debe solo al esfuerzo, razonamos, el fracaso de otros se debe a su pereza. Cuando observamos países enteros a través de este marco interpretativo simplista, podemos asumir que su pobreza se debe a una falta de iniciativa y no a complejos sistemas sociales que perpetúan la desigualdad.Cuando Jesús relató la parábola de los obreros de la viña, estoy seguro de que quienes lo escuchaban pensaron: ¡Eso no es justo! Los que trabajaron menos no recibieron la misma paga (Mateo 20:1-16). Pero Jesús comenzó sus relatos con un giro inesperado de la trama a propósito, para revelar verdades del Reino de los cielos. En esta parábola, Jesús descubrió que el sistema de gobierno celestial no es “meritocrático” sino “graciocrático”. Dios busca a los perdidos, contrata a obreros sin talento, les paga de más y les da a su Hijo... completamente gratis. Al cetro del gobierno celestial lo mueve la misericordia, no el mérito.Dominique DuBois Gilliard, el autor y activista de Derechos Humanos, en su artículo “The Implications of Meritocracy on the Church”, escribe: “La meritocracia es una cosmovisión cancerosa. Es contraria al evangelio y compromete nuestra visión. [...] Distorsiona cómo nos vemos y cómo nos relacionamos e interactuamos con nuestro prójimo. […] Nos otorga un falso sentido de superioridad moral con el cual acusamos a los demás y los menospreciamos”. Como embajadoras del Reino de los cielos, debemos vivir reflejando las leyes del gobierno al cual representamos. ¡Hoy tú puedes ser una embajadora de la gracia!Padre, ayúdame a recordar que, si tuviera lo que merezco, no estaría viva hoy ni tendría esperanza de vida eterna. La paga del pecado es muerte, pero tu regalo es la vida eterna por medio de Cristo Jesús.

Most of us know the stories of Moses, Esther, Paul & Silas and Zacchaeus. But have you ever thought about the role privilege played in their stories? In his new book, Dominique Dubois Gilliard looks at these well-known Bible stories from a different lens and translates the lessons he discovered to our current culture. Each of those Biblical characters had a form of privilege and, when faced with an opportunity, used it to subvert systems of power in order to uplift and restore vulnerable people.

Today, privilege has become a dirty word that is automatically associated with sinfulness, but Dominique Gillard, author of “Subversive Witness: Scripture's Call to Leverage Privilege,” says it doesn't have to be. He explores the many biblical characters who used their privilege redemptively rather than selfishly, and challenges us to rethink our assumptions about who is really privileged in our society. Also this week, a new study reveals how our preferred news source shapes our political and cultural beliefs—especially for those on the more conservative end of the spectrum. As the Supreme Court hears arguments about Mississippi's new abortion law, Tish Harrison Warren says we need to rethink our definition of feminism to include women who are pro-life. Plus, Phil goes to an indoor waterpark, and the Japanese have an innovative new energy source.

Description: You do not want to miss this episode with Dominique DuBois Gilliard! Dominique explains why the church must be at the forefront of conversations in our culture surrounding systemic sin.

Episode 10: Disruptive EducatorIn this week's episode we speak with the lovely Jasmine Ward, an educator that teaches in the Los Angeles County Jail System. She talks to us about how she disrupts the peace by courageously voicing how the injustice of many of our systems have impacted the lives of the incarcerated while emphasizing the dignity and the humanity that is often disregarded when thinking about the incarcerated. Our favorite quote by Jasmine is “Disruptive peacemaking is intentionally working toward systems that provide equality and equity for all.” We know that you will be inspired and informed listening to this episode.Book recommendations: Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela DavisThe New Jim Crow by Michelle AlexanderRethinking Incarceration by Dominique DuBois Gilliard
With nearly two billion Muslims celebrating Ramadan this month, our panel of pastors discuss the spiritual practice of fasting and how it can help connect us to both the Divine and the suffering of our neighbors. Isaiah 58 describes fasting like this: “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard."

As a special bonus for our listeners, we have created a series to commemorate Inverse Podcast co-host Dr Drew Hart's brand new book Who Will Be a Witness: Igniting Activism For God's Justice, Love and Deliverance. In these additional episodes we will interview friends and co-workers to discuss chapter by chapter Drew's new book. These conversations were recorded in community with friends from around the world as past of Inverse's ongoing work to create formation experiences that deepen our witness to God's justice, love and deliverance. Who Will Be a Witness offers a vision for communities of faith to organize for deliverance and justice in their neighborhoods, states, and nation as an essential part of living out the call of Jesus. Drew provides incisive insights into Scripture and history, along with illuminating personal stories, to help us identify how the witness of the church has become mangled by Christendom, white supremacy, and religious nationalism. He provides a wide range of options for congregations seeking to give witness to Jesus' ethic of love for and solidarity with the vulnerable. At a time when many feel disillusioned and distressed, Drew calls the church to action, offering a way forward that is deeply rooted in the life and witness of Jesus. Drew's testimony is powerful, personal, and profound, serving as a compass that points the church to the future and offers us a path toward meaningful social change and a more faithful witness to the way of Jesus. (Buy Drew's new book here.) This third conversation discusses Chapter Two of Who Will Be a Witness with minister and author Dominique DuBois Gilliard.

The United States has more people locked up in Jails, Prisons, and Detention centers than any other country in the history of the world. This week we are joined by Dominique DuBois Gilliard to help us rethink incarceration. Mass incarceration has become a lucrative industry, and the criminal justice system is plagued with bias and unjust practices. And the church has unwittingly contributed to the problem. Dominique helps us explore the history and foundation of mass incarceration, examining Christianity’s role in its evolution and expansion. The church has the power to help transform our criminal justice system and Dominique helped us to discover how we can participate in the restorative justice needed to bring authentic rehabilitation, lasting transformation, and healthy reintegration to this broken system.

Was it nature or nurture that led Dominique DuBois Gilliard to write Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores? Probably both. From his years in the historical black church to his personal encounters with police, Gilliard seemed fated to sound the alarm about the issue of mass incarceration. However, he would soon learn that the best way to gain an audience was with steady, measured allusion to what is. Dominique DuBois Gilliard's goal isn't to force others to understand the depths of his trauma but rather to ensure no one else has to experience it. And for Gilliard, the only way that happens is through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In this episode we are continuing with a topic we first explored in episode 46: Post Incarceration Employment and Rehabilitation. Dominique Gilliard and Colleen discuss mass incarceration and prison reform. Dominique DuBois Gilliard is the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). He is the author of Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores. Dominique and Colleen discuss the many different aspects at play when it comes to issues in our prison system, solutions that can chip away at these injustices and some countries that are having success at restorative justice. Connect with Dominique! Check out his website and his book! Find him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Year of Action Challenge: If you found yourself skeptical of what Dominique was saying I encourage you to head over to the show notes for today's episode and check out his resource from the Walk Towards Love website as well as any of the resources listed from our conversation today. There's a lot of really great research happening right now in that field. And it's worth researching yourself. And if you feel spurred to action after this conversation I think a great first step is doing a little research into what banks and companies profit off of our current prison system. Can you write a letter to your bank? Choose different brands to avoid contributing to this system? Or, even better start a campaign to encourage those companies to use the profits they make to help the formerly incarcerated return to society and to employ the formerly incarcerated. It seems like there are a lot of different solutions to these issues.

Last week, the White House signaled support for bipartisan criminal justice reform, a stark departure from the Justice Department's position just a month earlier. The story of how that happened is a long and winding one, but the issue itself is central to how we understand the Christian faith. Pastor Dominique DuBois Gilliard, author of the provocative RETHINKING INCARCERATION, joins us to share a little bit about why this issue seems to frustrate so many people across the political spectrum and what it has to do with our identity as Christians.

Guest: Dominique DuBois Gilliard The United States has more people locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers than any other country in the history of the world. Mass incarceration has become a lucrative industry, and the criminal justice system is plagued with bias and unjust practices. And the church has unwittingly contributed to the problem. The huge elephant in the room is this: how Christians can pursue justice that restores and reconciles, offering creative solutions and highlighting innovative interventions? The church has the power to help transform our criminal justice system. Discover how you can participate in the restorative justice needed to bring authentic rehabilitation, lasting transformation, and healthy reintegration to this broken system.

As a special bonus for our listeners, we have created a series to commemorate Inverse Podcast co-host Dr Drew Hart's brand new book *Who Will Be a Witness: Igniting Activism For God's Justice, Love and Deliverance.* In these additional episodes we will interview friends and co-workers to discuss chapter by chapter Drew's new book. These conversations were recorded in community with friends from around the world as past of Inverse's ongoing work to create formation experiences that deepen our witness to God's justice, love and deliverance. *Who Will Be a Witness* offers a vision for communities of faith to organize for deliverance and justice in their neighborhoods, states, and nation as an essential part of living out the call of Jesus. Drew provides incisive insights into Scripture and history, along with illuminating personal stories, to help us identify how the witness of the church has become mangled by Christendom, white supremacy, and religious nationalism. He provides a wide range of options for congregations seeking to give witness to Jesus' ethic of love for and solidarity with the vulnerable. At a time when many feel disillusioned and distressed, Drew calls the church to action, offering a way forward that is deeply rooted in the life and witness of Jesus. Drew's testimony is powerful, personal, and profound, serving as a compass that points the church to the future and offers us a path toward meaningful social change and a more faithful witness to the way of Jesus. (Buy Drew's new book [here](http://https://www.amazon.com/Who-Will-Be-Witness-Deliverance/dp/1513806580/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=who+will+be+a+witness&qid=1599640684&s=books&sr=1-1).)
