Summary

When I think of individuals and organizations who have their work cut out for them, always, but especially with our current times, I think of Matthew Soerens and World Relief. For those who may not be familiar, World Relief is a Christian humanitarian organization who serves people who are in crisis all over the world, especially those who have been displaced from their homes. As you can imagine, for their team in the U.S., that means lots of work with folks who immigrate here, whether as refugees or asylum seekers—people with complicated circumstances who are in vulnerable situations.

As the close to our IVP / Made for Pax Series, I am beyond grateful to have Matthew back on the podcast to talk about migration and how Christians can respond to the topic, and our neighbors, more generally, and how our current political situation is affecting the lives of people here and abroad. Matthew shares insight and wisdom from decades of work in this space and I am thrilled he was able to take time out from that work to join me here. I can’t wait for you to listen and share!
