Reimagining Justice with Joash P. Thomas

When we hear the word justice, we often think in terms of punishment, fairness, or consequences. But what if the justice revealed in Jesus looks radically different?

In this episode, Tim welcomes theologian and author Joash P. Thomas to explore how empire, colonization, and cultural proximity to power shape the way we read Scripture—and how Jesus invites us into a justice that restores rather than retaliates.

Drawing from his book The Justice of Jesus, Joash challenges the “small gospel” that reduces salvation to souls going to heaven and calls the church back to a holistic vision of liberation and wholeness.

In This Conversation:

• Defining “marginalized Christians”
• How empire influences theology
• The “colonizer’s gospel” vs. the gospel of Christ
• Why justice must be both physical and spiritual
• What church budgets reveal about our true theology
• Restorative justice and the restoration of all things
• Accountability, reconciliation, and hope
• Why Jesus—not culture—must define justice

This is a rich theological conversation that will stretch your thinking and deepen your love for Christ.
