During the first season of the podcast, I got to talk with Dominique Dubois Gillard about his book “Rethinking Incarceration.” One of the things we talked about was the difficulty and opportunity to steer the ship, even slightly, in institutional spaces already (and often blindly) dominated by whiteness and privilege. His most recent book dives directly into that very conversation. Subversive Witness coaches and encourages readers towards a leveraging of one's privilege rather than simply being another critique of the problems that come with having it. I loved the book and, as always, loved talking with Dominique. Check it out

Get ready for round 2 with Dominique Gilliard! You might remember, Dominique was on the podcast just a couple of months ago talking about his first book, Rethinking Incarceration.

What would it mean for the criminal justice system to be unjust? And if it is, what should Christians do about it? Dominique Gilliard, author of “Rethinking Incarceration,” talks with Amy Julia about the history of injustice in this system, reimagining justice, punishment, and reconciliation in light of the gospel, and practical ways the church can love people who have been incarcerated.SHOW NOTES: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).

It liberates us from actually denying it. We can affirm privilege is real and that we have a responsibility to steward it in a way that furthers the kingdom and loves our neighbor.”On the Podcast:“The New Jim Crow” by Michelle AlexanderShooting of Kathryn JohnstonEqual Justice InitiativePrison FellowshipSeason 3 of SerialChicago’s Million Dollar BlocksOld Testament gleaning laws“Compassionate Justice” by Christopher MarshallBryan Stevenson and Equal Justice Initiative67% of white evangelicals support the death penaltyInterview with Bryan Stevenson about “Just Mercy”Psalm 139:23-24Resources from Dominique: What We Can Do powerpoint and Follow-Up Resources pdfThank 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 talking about Privilege Walk.

Dr. Christine Montross, author of the new book “Waiting for an Echo: The Madness of American Incarceration” and an associate professor at Brown University, speaks with us about developing a more empathic understanding of isolation, the resilience that comes with collectively undergoing a harrowing experience, and the misconceptions that form when prison inmates are seen as “other” by society.

The United States has more people locked up in Jails, Prisons, and Detention centers than any other country in the history of the world.

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.

Dominique DuBois Gilliard explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration. And, reflects on how Christians can pursue justice that restores and reconciles. [Acts 16:16-40] Reflection What is our relationship to the good news when it comes at a cost to our ability to offer participation? How can you take a step in using your privilege to hold systems and structures accountable that dehumanize others?  

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.

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!
