Hope In Action with Tracie L. Morgan and Ashley Glimasinski | Why Immigration Matters: A Christian Perspective

Immigration touches all of our lives, whether we know it or not. In this first episode of Hope in Action, we explore the human side of immigration through a Christian lens, examining the challenges families face and the moral stakes for communities across the country.

You’ll hear real stories that illustrate the complexity and humanity behind headlines - from ICE enforcement to families seeking safety - and learn how to respond with clarity, compassion, and faith. We share strategies for speaking up, leading with stories rather than facts, and living out Christian values while navigating difficult conversations.

Tune in to discover why immigration matters in your community, how scripture calls us to welcome the stranger, and practical ways to engage thoughtfully with news, misinformation, and conversations about immigrants.

To celebrate the launch of the podcast, enter to win a virtual lunch with Tracie and Ashley! This virtual lunch is your opportunity to share your own stories, ask our perspectives, or get a clearer vision on what you can do to make a difference in the lives of immigrants in your community. We’re happy to talk about all things immigration.
