Dominique Gilliard joins us for our exploration this morning as we dive into Acts, and discerning wisdom with the Spirit.

Dominique Gilliard places Micah 6:8 in the full context of Micah 6 to give us a more faithful understanding of this well-known passage. 

Dominique Gilliard walks us through Acts 16.

Dominique Gilliard shares thoughts on the Ethics of Love from John 13, and Isaiah 58 during the Lenten season.

Drawing from the Imago Dei in Genesis 1 and using Isaiah 58 and more to describe the hallmarks of a new life in Christ, Dominique Gilliard challenges us in how learning about our past helps us to become repairers of the breach.

Dominique Gilliard concludes our series on the family by walking us through biblical passages and practical ideas for how we can faithfully follow Christ in leading our families to mutual flourishing. 

Dominique Gilliard kicks off a series that leans into spiritual maturity. Spiritual maturity includes a biblical and robust understanding of justice. This week focuses on the reality that biblical justice is inherently restorative.

In this episode, author and pastor Dominique Gilliard helps us think beyond our left/right binary by rooting us in the biblical text. For Dominique, the question “where is it written?” is central to how he thinks about civic engagement and is a practice that can help keep us from getting swept up in our culture wars. In continually turning back to the texts, Dominique reminds us that we should be the ones modeling a biblical move toward peacemaking.   Links: Dominique's Recommendation - The Sum of Us Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/19VMtc487rqmrb6GC8eRvd Download the free Peace & Politics Practice Guide: https://globalimmerse.org/podcast Become an EMBER: https://globalimmerse.org/donate/ Learn about our cohorts: https://globalimmerse.org/leaders/ Contemplative Prayer with Global Immersion (Weekly on Tues, Wed, and Thur at 7am PST): https://share.hsforms.com/1KMGPA1DaSxOQs9GOp3gDowc3ovn Conflicted Allegiance: https://globalimmerse.org/public-programs/conflicted-allegiance/ Learn more about Global Immersion: https://globalimmerse.org/ Dominique's Website: https://dominiquegilliard.com/   Buy Subversive Witness: Follow Dominique on Facebook: @DominiqueDGilliard Follow Dominique on Instagram: @dominiquedgilliard Follow Dominique on Twitter: @DDGilliard   Dominique Gilliard Bio: 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).

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.

It's Juneteenth weekend, y'all!  And Mom and I are discussing an important documentary - White Savior: Racism in the American Church (directed by Aaron J. Christopher). Using a combination of interviews and research, White Savior traces the historic relationship between racism and American Christianity, present day segregation in churches and  and asks hard questions about racial reconciliation. The film is divided into chapters, Mom and I discuss four: Chap. 1 (White is Race), Chap. 2 (The Bible and Race), Chap. 6 (Christianity in Black and White) and Chapter 7 (The Problem of Reconciliation).  We hear from an array of prolific thinkers and figures: Pastor Lenny Duncan (Jehu's Table), professor Soong Chan Rah, author Jacqueline Woodson, Native American pastors Jim Bear Jacobs and Rev.

In this bonus episode, Amy Julia describes her working definition of privilege, the ways that privilege leads to unjust social divisions and disparities, and how we can participate in healing from the harm of privilegeSHOW NOTES:“Privilege is a set of unearned social advantages that lead to unjust social divisions and disparities.”“Privilege is not a guarantee of an easy life and it’s not an accusation of an easy life.”“As unearned social advantages lead to unjust social divisions, we find ourselves participating in injustice.”“Privilege harms everyone. The ways we are cut off from one another and from the full expression of human diversity is not only unjust but it is also harmful, and I, for one, want to be a part of healing.”“Healing comes from the overflow of the love of God at work in and through God’s people—not just the love of God, but the love of God that is expressed in acts of mercy, of kindness, and of justice.”ON THE PODCAST:Penny’s diagnosisPodcast guests to date: David Bailey, Micha Boyett, Patricia Raybon, Natasha Sistrunk Robinson, Jemar Tisby, Cara Meredith, Subira Gordon, Marlena Graves, Niro Feliciano, Esau McCaulley, Dominique Gilliard, Paul MillerStudies: names on job applications; wage gaps; bias in sportsCollege admissions scandalBlog Post: The Spiritual Problem of Racism Calls for a Spiritual SolutionAudiobook: “Head, Heart, Hands”Thank you to Breaking Ground, the co-host for this podcast.White Picket Fences, Season 3 of Love is Stronger Than Fear, is based on my book White Picket Fences, and today we are taking a break from our typical podcast episodes and guests to talk about the topic of privilege.

This previously recorded Lead Voices episode features a conversation with Dominique Gilliard, the director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation, who shares ways that the church needs to rethink its attitude to the criminal justice system and incarceration. With some horrifying statistics and also some hope-filled testimonies and practical ways churches can make a change, this podcast will change the way you see those who are and have been incarcerated and equip you to be part of the change.    Every church can and should be involved in one of 4 ways: 1) prevention: mentoring, tutoring, supporting underfunded schools, summer feeding programs 2) prison ministry: go behind the walls and see for ourselves.   3) walk alongside those who have lost family members to incarceration.   4) aid the reentry process: disciple, support and walk alongside those who have left prison and use networks to help find employment opportunities. 5) extend our definition of family to include foster care children who need care and love especially over the holiday seasons.   Check out Dominique’s new book: “Rethinking Incarceration: advocating for justice which restores”   https://dominiquegilliard.com/ Facebook: /dominique.dg.7 @DDGilliard - twitter dominiquedgilliard - instagram   Discussion questions: 1) How does your attitude towards those who have been incarcerated change when you consider the number of key biblical characters who spent time behind bars? 2) Of the 5 practical ways mentioned that churches can get involved in change, is your church engaged in any? Which one could be the first step? 3) How has your perspective on the criminal justice system changed through listening to this podcast?   Connect with Lead Stories and Jo and Steph: Twitter: @LeadStoriesVox Instagram: @LeadStoriesPodcast Facebook: LeadStoriesPodcast Connect with Jo at www.josaxton.com @josaxton Connect with Steph at www.pastorsteph.com @pastorsteph  Subscribe on iTunes to have the podcast automatically download to your device every week or listen at www.leadstoriespodcast.com For other resources and podcasts head to: www.leadstoriesmedia.com Don’t forget to check out Lead Stories Community at www.leadstoriesmedia.com/community

Choosing Love In A Culture Of Fear.

(00:00-09:18): Brian and Ian cover the topic of evolving churches. Michael Frost wrote a couple of pieces “Dinner Church, anyone?” and “New Kinds of churches really are the hope of the future”. They cover how changing churches may be what is needed around the world. (09:18-19:10): Dominique Gilliard writes in MissioAlliance “The Church’s Complicity in Mass Incarceration” talking about how the church primarily substituted God’s grace with imprisoning people who have done wrong. (19:10-28:37): So...we need insurance to order pizza now? Brian and Ian discuss Domino’s’ new pizza delivery insurance. Domino’s says it is a way to send back your order if you aren’t completely satisfied. Isn’t that on the restaurant to get your order correct? (28:37-38:15): What really grinds our gears? Brian and Ian touch on a couple things that rub them the wrong way. From lack of eye contact, to...you guessed it...turning signals, these guys need to let loose and get stuff off of their chest.

If you’re going to eat poisonous sea urchins, prepare to have dreadful hallucinations. UK construction is the pettiest of all construction, almost as petty as smuggler’s surgery.

Series: Old Testament Portraits Title: Resisting the empire Text: Exodus 1:6-2:10 Summary: despite the fact that the Biblical narrative often times feel ancient when compared to modern events, we often discover that the themes are more relevant than ever. The opening account of Exodus introduces us to an empire that achieves its will through violence, and contrasts that with the courageous witness of some brave females committed justice and equality.

This week we have a recap episode!  Every eight or nine episodes we pause to think about what we've learned from our guests.  This week it's just Colleen behind the mic sharing what she's learned from this set of conversations.  We'll be looking at episodes 52-60.  This includes Pornography Addiction with Mark Macdonald, Depolarizing Politics with David Lapp, Sexual Orientation in the Church (part 2) with B.T. Harman, Mass Incarceration and Prison Reform with Dominique Gilliard, Trans Identity and the Church with Ellie Dote, The Reality of the American Dream and Upward Mobility with Lindsy Wallace, Non-Binary Gender Identity with Mason Aid, Sexual Orientation and the Church (part 3) with David Bennett and Reframing the Singular Narrative with Jonathan Brooks.  

Dominique Gilliard joins Uncommontary host Marty Duren for a conversation about justice that restores and reconciles.

In this episode, I am honored to welcome Dominique Gilliard to the show. Dominique is the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Love Mercy Do Justice initiative of the Evangelical Covenant Church. He is the author of Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores. This book has rocked my world and I think you ALL need to run to the store to buy a copy. In this episode, Dominique breaks down the current climate of Mass Incarceration, what's feeding it, and what we can do to make an impact. See our show notes for all the links Dominique mentions. www.cultivated.fashion

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.   Also discussed in this episode: Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores by Dominique Gilliard Washington Post: Five Myths about Incarceration  Walking Towards Love curriculum The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson Prophetic Imagination by Walter Brueggemann The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B DeBois

Tony and Shane discuss mass incarceration and the Christian responsibility to those in prison as taught by Jesus with the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Evangelical Covenant Church, Dominique Gilliard.

In Rethinking Incarceration, Dominique Gilliard explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration, examining Christianity’s role in its evolution and expansion. He assesses our nation’s ethic of meritocratic justice in light of Scripture and exposes the theologies that embolden mass incarceration. Gilliard then shows how Christians can pursue justice that restores and reconciles, offering creative solutions and highlighting innovative interventions. God's justice is ultimately restorative, not just punitive. Discover how Christians can participate in the restoration and redemption of the incarceration system. In our conversation, we talked about:  The United States has 5 percent of the world's population but 25 percent of the world's incarcerated. We have more people locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers than any other country in the history of the world. There are more jails and prisons than degree-granting colleges and universities, and in many places, more people live behind bars than on college campuses. 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 these problems.  You can get in touch with Dominique Gilliard by following him on Twitter, Facebook, or his website.  Enjoy the podcast!

America's prison system is deeply broken. Can the Church be a voice of hope and healing? Dominique Gilliard offers a powerful vision of restorative justice that seeks to heal the wrongs our prison industrial complex has inflicted on our culture. 

Dominique Gilliard the director of racial righteousness and reconciliation shares ways that the church needs to rethink its attitude to the criminal justice system and incarceration. With some horrifying statistics and also some hope-filled testimonies and practical ways churches can make a change, this podcast will change the way you see those who are and have been incarcerated and equip you to be part of the change.      Every church can and should be involved in one of 4 ways: 1) prevention: mentoring, tutoring, supporting underfunded schools, summer feeding programs 2) prison ministry: go behind the walls and see for ourselves.   3) walk alongside those who have lost family members to incarceration.   4) aid the reentry process: disciple, support and walk alongside those who have left prison and use networks to help find employment opportunities. 5) extend our definition of family to include foster care children who need care and love especially over the holiday seasons.   Check out Dominique’s new book: “Rethinking Incarceration: advocating for justice which restores”   https://dominiquegilliard.com/ Facebook: /dominique.dg.7 @DDGilliard - twitter dominiquedgilliard - instagram   Discussion questions: 1) How does your attitude towards those who have been incarcerated change when you consider the number of key biblical characters who spent time behind bars? 2) Of the 5 practical ways mentioned that churches can get involved in change, is your church engaged in any? Which one could be the first step? 3) How has your perspective on the criminal justice system changed through listening to this podcast?

From a numbers perspective, for every American church, there are about two people returning home from incarceration annually. Yet, just 1 in 5 churches (22%) that average 250 or more attendees have formal ministries for people leaving correctional facilities according to a LifeWay Research survey of 1,000 evangelical and mainline pastors conducted earlier this year. Many pastors just aren’t aware of how dramatically incarceration affects their congregation, says Dominique Gilliard, a pastor at Convergence Covenant Church in Oakland, California. “Churches have created a cone of silence around this issue. It becomes so stigmatized. I can’t tell you all the times I go and preach or teach at a church and the pastor is completely unaware that people are dealing with this,” said Gilliard, who is writing a book about restorative justice. “People are lined up after service to come to talk to me because this is the first time that they heard their church talk about this.” Once church leadership and attendees decide they do want to address the issue, they should start by educating themselves. “I always tell people that they have to examine their internal biases because we all have them,” said Miea Walker, the Second Chance Alliance outreach coordinator for the North Carolina Justice Center. “It starts with understanding the landscape of mass incarceration. Often times people will want to just come in and help, Oh those poor souls, they need us. We really miss the big picture. We are not reading and learning how we got here.” Gilliard and Walker join Morgan and Katelyn to discuss the nitty gritty of supporting families of those incarcerated, why the church must work with criminal justice reform beyond prisons, and why not all Christians’ work on this issue will or should look the same.
