How does immigration intersect with divine hospitality?" This episode of Words for Change podcast invites you to explore immigration through a biblical lens. We kick off with an empowering quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., setting the tone for our discussion on closed borders versus divine hospitality. We address the sobering headlines: an assassination attempt on former President Trump, the arrest of Sean Diddy Combs on sex trafficking charges, and the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible. These events frame our deeper dive into Acts chapter 2, showing how scripture calls Christians to welcome strangers, even in the face of modern complexities like building walls.

Our conversation then shifts to the daunting challenges migrants endure, such as life-threatening journeys, unstable incomes, and lack of healthcare. We dismantle the myth of migrants as criminals, presenting migration as a quest for better lives and basic human rights. Drawing from biblical narratives like the Exodus and teachings from Acts and Leviticus, we illustrate that Christian hospitality means sharing resources and embracing those who cross borders.
