Immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues in modern culture. Christians on every side of the debate appeal to Scripture — but are those passages being applied correctly?

In this episode of A Lot of Words Podcast, Pastor Brett and Pastor Matt take a careful look at what the Bible actually says about loving the foreigner, the role of national law, and the legitimacy of borders. We explore key Old Testament commands concerning the stranger, examine whether Israel can be compared to modern nation-states, and discuss whether compassion and sovereignty are truly in conflict.

Is there a moral distinction between legal and illegal immigration?
Does biblical compassion eliminate national boundaries?
Can a Christian support border enforcement and remain faithful to Scripture?

Rather than offering political talking points, this conversation seeks clarity from the Word of God. Our goal is not to inflame the culture war, but to think biblically about law, mercy, and truth in a divided world.

Listen in as we wrestle with how believers should approach immigration with conviction, humility, and a commitment to Scripture.
