Jim Wallis and Jon Stewart are such a great combination…<\/p>\n

Wallis was on the Daily Show Wednesday night talking about his new book, “Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street, and Your Street<\/a>.”

Wallis and Stewart talk briefly about Haiti and suffering…<\/p>\n

“It would seem there are a lot of quotes there (in Scriptures) that would provide comfort not only to Haiti but to our country as well.” – Jon Stewart<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The God I believe in is with those who suffer, he doesn’t punish those or create evil for those who are already suffering. Haiti was a collision of poverty and an earthquake.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wallis also suggests that the U.S. banks should offer the same grace to their customers as the U.S. taxpayers offered to them — and then after saying his family has fired their bank, he offered this advice:<\/p>\n

“The banks say they’re too big to fail – let’s make them smaller.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet, even with those great ideas, what I love most about this interview is Jon Stewart’s comments towards the end…<\/p>\n

“It certainly an interesting way to apply your theology to day to day problems and do it in a practical way that people understand.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Making your message relevant to people and their day to day situations?<\/a><\/p>\n

…hmmmmm.<\/p>\n

Wonder what Tripp Fuller<\/a> would say about this? Making theology practical and useful for people…<\/p>\n

How would you<\/em> do that?<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
