"Refugees are ordinary people who've experienced extraordinary circumstances, and they want the same thing as fellow image-bearers."

What does it look like to respond biblically to immigration and refugee care in today’s polarized world? In this episode, we speak with World Relief leaders, PJ Moore, Executive Director, and Wayne Denny, Church and Community Engagement Director, about the spiritual, relational, and political dimensions of welcoming the stranger—and why the church must lead the way.
