"I know there are people out there who say, 'My life was such a mess. I was drinking, partying, sleeping around...and then I met Jesus and my whole life came together.' God bless those people. But me, I had it together. I used to be cool. And then I met Jesus and he wrecked my life. The more I read the gospel, the more it messed me up, turning everything I believed in, valued, and hoped for upside-down."
For Shane Claiborne that means that now he lives in a dangerous neighborhood in Philadelphia, occasionally turning his living room in to a grocery store / flea market for the homeless to come in and help themselves.
