Jesus, Justice + Mercy
Bold faith, radical love, and justice for the church.

Welcome to Jesus, Justice + Mercy, a podcast for those who believe justice matters but aren’t sure how it fits with the faith they’ve always known. If you’re wrestling with the disconnect between Jesus and what you see in the church, you’re not alone.

I'm your host, Kristen, a woman rooted in the church, learning to reimagine faith through the lens of justice and mercy. In this season, we’ll explore the tensions between faith, justice, and identity. We’ll unpack hard questions about race, trauma, civic responsibility, and how we move forward with bold faith and radical love.

Whether you’re deconstructing, rebuilding, or simply asking honest questions, this is a space to listen, learn, and live out a justice-centered faith that’s deeply rooted in the heart of Scripture.

  • Exodus Faith – When You’ve Left, but Haven’t Arrived

    There’s a sacred tension between the Jesus we love and the version of faith many of us inherited. If you’ve ever felt caught in the messy middle, between belonging and questioning, between clarity and disorientation, this episode is for you.

    In today’s conversation, Kristen names the holy discomfort so many of us carry and explores what it means to walk through a season of unraveling. With wisdom from the Exodus story, the life of Jesus, and the disciples’ own wilderness journey, you’ll find compassion, clarity, and courage to keep going.

    This episode doesn’t ask you to throw it all out, but it does invite you to be honest about what no longer fits, to trust the Spirit’s stirring, and to recognize that what feels like falling apart may actually be the first step toward something more whole.

    Because the wilderness isn’t where faith dies.
    It’s often where it begins.

  • Jesus Isn’t Triggered by Justice, (But We Might Be): Why God’s vision of justice goes beyond culture wars, punishment, or politics.

    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).

  • Why Does Social Justice Feel So Divisive in the Church?
    Jul 3 2025

    Send us a text

    Why does something so clearly rooted in Scripture feel so controversial in Christian spaces? In this episode, we name the emotional, cultural, and theological weight behind the term “social justice” from fear and guilt to confusion and grief. We trace its Christian roots, explore how it became politicized in the American Church, and wrestle with why it still sparks tension today.

    Through Scripture, history, and honest reflection, we ask: What if justice isn’t a threat to the gospel, but a vital expression of it? And how might a Jesus-shaped vision of justice invite us into deeper courage, community, and discipleship?

    Whether you’re wrestling with these questions, weary from the noise, or longing for a more faithful response, this episode is for you.
