Welcoming the Stranger: Faith, Migration, and the Mission of the Church - Rev. Dr. Sam George
Rev. Dr. Sam George is my guest on this podcast. He is the Director of the Global Diaspora Institute at the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center and a Catalyst for the Lausanne Movement.
He explores one of the most urgent and transformative realities of our time—migration. As a global expert on migration and diaspora communities, Dr. George unpacks the economic, political, and environmental factors driving displacement, dispels common misconceptions about migrants and refugees, and offers a faith-rooted perspective on welcoming the stranger.
Through thought-provoking conversations, this podcast challenges churches and communities to move from fear to hospitality, equips faith leaders to engage just immigration policies, and highlights the role of intergenerational ministry in integrating displaced persons. How does the biblical narrative shape our response to migration? How can the Church see migration not as a crisis, but as an opportunity to embody Christ’s love? Join us as we navigate these critical questions with wisdom and compassion.
