Description

Immigration is a hot-button issue in our culture—one that often gets reduced to polarized headlines and political stances. But what does it look like to view immigration through a gospel lens? In this episode of the Veritas Equipping Podcast, Jake is joined by elders Matt Thede and Matt Hoffert for a thoughtful, honest conversation about one of the most complex issues in our country. Together, they wrestle with questions like: What does the Bible really say about immigration, borders, and love for the foreigner? How do we hold together compassion and conviction using texts like Romans 13 and Deuteronomy 10? Is it unloving for a country to enforce its laws? Does proximity to others affect our responsibility to love? What’s the difference between a nation’s role and a Christian’s role? Are we more concerned with someone becoming a citizen of heaven or a citizen of America? There’s no one-sentence answer, but there is biblical wisdom, nuance, and a call for Christians to lead with truth and grace. This episode will challenge and equip you to think biblically about immigration so you can do just that.
