Oct 16, 202558:34Now PlayingThis episode explores Migration: Experiencing God’s Care for Immigrants, a six-week interactive Bible study from InterVarsity Press and the Made for PAX series. Alexis argues that from Abraham to Ruth to Jesus himself, the biblical story is braided with movement—and that God consistently draws near to people “on the move.” Together we unpack virtues migration cultivates (faith, courage, hope), common myths (e.g., “migration is mainly a problem to solve”), and how moral intuitions can harden into slogans unless they’re tested by Scripture and real stories. Practical takeaways include empathy practices for congregations, reframing “immigrant vs. neighbor,” and seeing motion as a way God grows the church and our vision of the global body of Christ. Keywords: migration, immigrants, Bible study, Christian discipleship, hospitality, Ruth and Naomi, Jesus as refugee, church and public life.
