Welcome to the God Loves Justice Podcast! This podcast is designed to help Christians from any background understand, love, and practice Biblical justice & righteousness. Justice & righteousness are core Biblical themes rooted in God’s character and woven throughout the whole Bible. We break Biblical justice & righteousness down into short, accessible 10–20 minute episodes that stay centered on Scripture. We don't debate whether justice is in the Bible- it is, so we explore  how to live justice & righteousness out in ways that reflects Biblical values and that keep Christ in the center.

  1. Nehemiah: A Leader Confronts Injustice

    Nehemiah: A Leader Confronts Injustice

    In this episode, we look at a story from Nehemiah 5 that shows how a godly leader responded to injustice within his own community. Vulnerable families were falling into debt and even selling their children into slavery, while the wealthy profited by charging interest in violation of God’s law. We follow Nehemiah’s response as he refuses to ignore the problem, confronts the powerful, and restores justice, even in the middle of rebuilding the wall.

    Scales Versus Rivers

    In this episode, we explore the difference between modern ideas of justice and biblical ideas of justice by comparing two images: scales and a river. While Western justice is often symbolized by balanced scales representing fairness and neutrality, the Bible describes justice as a powerful, ever-flowing river (Amos 5:24). We look at how legal systems can punish wrongdoing but cannot fully heal or restore what has been broken, while God’s justice brings restoration, healing, and transformation. This episode invites us to expand our understanding of justice and to pray for God’s justice to flow into situations of injustice and brokenness.

    When a Widow Beat a Corrupt Judge

    In this final episode of our five-part series on widows in the Bible, we turn to Jesus’s own words and the powerful parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18. We look at Jesus’s parable in its historical context, remembering how vulnerable widows were, how often leaders failed them, and how deeply God cares about their justice. In the parable, a poor widow goes toe-to-toe against a corrupt, indifferent judge- and wins through her persistence. We look closely at the details of the parable because there are parts to it that make it interesting- and kind of funny. Show notes can be found at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Godlovesjustice.com/shownotes⁠⁠

    The Church Included Widows From the Start

    Episode 15 This is episode 4 of a 5 part series on widows in the Bible. In this episode, we explore how the first generation church cared for widows in Acts 6. From appointing leaders to oversee daily food distribution to navigating practical challenges, we see that justice requires more than good intentions, it takes leadership and accountability. This story shows how including the vulnerable in society was happening at the same time as evangelism and rapid church growth. Show notes can be found at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Godlovesjustice.com/shownotes⁠⁠

  5. Seeing Widows in the New Testament

    Seeing Widows in the New Testament

    Episode 14 In part three of this five-part series on widows in Scripture, we turn to the New Testament to see how widows are woven into the story of Jesus and the early church. From Jesus’s genealogy, where three widows appear in the Messiah’s own family line, to Anna the prophet who recognizes the infant Jesus, this episode highlights how widows are named, seen, and honored. Jesus consistently lifts widows up as moral and spiritual examples, condemns their exploitation, and reflects God’s long-standing concern for their protection and dignity. The early church organizes support for them. Together, these stories reveal a God who sees the vulnerable and declares, “Your widows can depend on me.”

    Widows and Practical Justice

    Episode 13 In Episode 2 of the five-part series on widows in the Bible, we move from values to practice by exploring how the Law of Moses built concrete, everyday protections for widows into Israel’s life. This episode looks at how care for widows was not treated as optional charity, but as a matter of justice (mishpat) that reflected God’s own character. We examine specific provisions such as legal protections, gleaning laws, special tithes, protection of property, levirate marriage, and inclusion in community festivals—systems designed to preserve dignity, provide stability, and ensure that widows had real access to the resources they needed. Through these laws, we see a powerful picture of justice made practical: a community structured so that care for the vulnerable did not depend on mood, generosity, or circumstance, but was woven into daily life.

  7. Your Widows Can Depend on Me

    JAN 13

    Your Widows Can Depend on Me

    Episode 12 In the first episode of a five-part series on widows, we begin by asking two foundational questions: Why were widows particularly vulnerable in biblical times? And how does God describe His relationship with widows, and what does that reveal about His character? We look at the economic, legal, and social realities that shaped widows’ lives, and we look closely at passages where God describes his connection to them.

  8. Joyful, Delightful Justice

    Joyful, Delightful Justice

    Episode 11 In this episode, we take a look at several Old Testament passages that show how people, creation, and God himself respond to justice & righteousness. We talk about how many of us grew up assuming God’s justice was mainly about punishment, which can make the idea feel scary instead of good. But when we look at Scripture, we see something completely different: God delights in justice & righteousness, creation celebrates it with joy, and God’s people respond with gladness and rejoicing to the news that God is coming with justice and righteousness. These emotional reactions help us rethink justice not as judgment hovering over us, but as God restoring what’s broken, making things right, and bringing freedom.  Show notes can be found at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Godlovesjustice.com/shownotes⁠
