In this vital and timely episode, Dr. M. Daniel Carroll R. challenges Christians to move beyond politicized talking points and recover a biblical vision for migration. He argues that the Bible consistently centers migrants—not as problems to be solved, but as central figures in God’s redemptive story. From Genesis to Revelation, movement and migration are core to what it means to be human—and to be part of the people of God.

Carroll calls out how many American Christians have allowed national politics to shape their views on immigration more than Scripture. He explains how both the Old and New Testaments present care for the vulnerable—including the foreigner—as a non-negotiable mark of God’s people. Laws and systems may change, he says, but God’s character doesn’t.

The conversation dives into the reality of forced migration, the complexity of language loss, and the historical amnesia that blinds many to their own immigrant roots. Carroll critiques “soft Marcionism”—the idea that Jesus abolished the Old Testament—and highlights the biblical mandate to welcome outsiders, not just as an act of charity, but as a reminder of who we are.
