In this episode of Whispers and Wonders, I respond to a viral post by a megachurch pastor making ten claims about Christianity and immigration. His arguments were filled with distorted Scripture, nationalist ideology, and what I can only describe as a weaponization of the Bible in service of empire.

So I wrote a point-by-point rebuttal which can be found on my Substack, but now I share as a podcast.

Not to shame him.Not to win a debate.But because silence in the face of such misuse would be a betrayal of the Gospel I know and love.

This isn’t just about immigration.It’s about who we say God is.What kind of Jesus we follow.And whether love is still our law.

You’ll hear Scripture.You’ll hear grief.You’ll hear fire.And, by the end, I hope you’ll hear hope.

This is a message for anyone who believes faith should never be used as a border wall, and for anyone who’s ever wondered if Jesus is still on the side of the stranger. (Spoiler: he is.)

Key themes:

* Christian nationalism vs. Gospel truth

* What Scripture really says about borders and belonging

* Why legalism without love is cruelty

* The prophetic call to stand with the vulnerable

If this episode speaks to you, share it.If it challenges you, sit with it.If it helps you find your voice, use it.

Christ is still Lord.And Caesar is still not.
