Hope in Action with Tracie L. Morgan and Ashley Glimasinski | Why Churches Struggle to Speak Clearly on Immigration with Rondell Treviño

What if the goal isn’t simply to restore the immigration system we had before, but to imagine one that works even better? 


When the headlines are relentless and the rules keep changing, it’s easy to stay focused on reacting to the latest crisis. But what could become possible if we stepped back and asked what kind of immigration system we actually want to build?


Join us this week as we look beyond the rapid policy changes of the past six months to consider the values that should shape immigration in the first place. We talk about human dignity, family unity, justice, fairness, order, legal pathways, and the role faith can play in helping Christians think more deeply about immigration. We also explore several parts of the current system we would rethink if we had the opportunity to start from scratch.


Have an immigration question you’ve always wanted answered? Send it our way on Facebook or Instagram for a chance to have it included in our live Conversations for Curious Christians episode at the end of the season!



What You’ll Learn from this Episode about Imagining a Better Immigration System:


  • Why constant changes in immigration policy are creating uncertainty for immigrants, attorneys, advocates, and communities.

  • Why restoring the immigration system of the past may not be enough.

  • The values we believe should help shape a better immigration system.

  • How issues like immigration courts, work permits, family unity, naturalization, and legal pathways could be approached differently.

  • Why fear, fraud, enforcement, justice, and mercy all need a place in honest immigration conversations.

  • How faith can help Christians examine their assumptions about immigration without pretending there is one simple policy answer.

  • A practical question you can use to move immigration conversations away from political talking points and toward shared values.

About Us

FINAL (2).png

We started this podcast because friends and neighbors were coming to us saying, “I’m seeing all these headlines about immigration, but I don’t really understand what’s going on.” They didn’t have personal connections to immigrants or a legal background—just a sense that something wasn’t adding up. Those conversations showed us a real need for honest, accessible education about immigration law in the Christian community. That’s why we’re here: to make sense of the noise and bring clarity where it’s needed most.
