Immigrant Stories | The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants

Fearing Bravely and Loving Our Neighbors Well with Catherine McNiel- Ep. 100


Listen Later

Welcome to episode 100 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Catherine McNeil, author of Fearing Bravely, joins me for episode 100! Catherine shares her journey as a writer and a faith-driven advocate for immigrants, and we dive into the powerful themes of her book—what it really means to love our neighbors, even when they’re strangers or perceived as enemies.

Catherine challenges the fear-based narratives that are often in the conversations around immigration. Instead, she calls for a return to compassion, truth, and biblical hospitality. She debunks common myths about immigrants, reminding us that, statistically, immigrant communities are not only peaceful but often safer. Through our conversation, she invites listeners to think deeply about how love, not fear, should be at the center of how we welcome others.

I’ll be honest, her book had me questioning if I, too, am loving my neighbor well. 

With Love, Heidy
