Have you ever read the bible through the stories of an immigrant?

In this episode, Karen Gonzalez is sharing her immigration story and stories of immigrants found in the Bible.

Throughout Scripture there are many examples of people who fled their homelands - Hagar, Joseph, Ruth, and even Jesus.

The courage, loss, joy, and pain has never gone unnoticed by “The God Who Sees” and they don’t go unnoticed now.

Karen believes that we do not get our view of migration from the bible, we get it from society, family, peers and even churches.

Being an immigrant Karen loves to bring awareness to the fact that the stories we read in Bible are about immigrants and God's love and protection over them.

She will tell you that the question about immigration is so much about belonging and that Jesus transcends all these cultures, all of these borders!

Listen in as Karen shares the story biblical immigrants like Abraham, Joseph and Ruth.
