Episode notes

Curtis: I live in the new sports mecca of Ohio, Cincinnati. We have over 120 nations represented in the church. In 2020, I stepped away from that to lead and launch an organization called Undivided which does racial healing and justice work. And so it's interesting when I think about how that all got started, I really do think about anxiety because and encourage you may have even heard me share this story before.

One cannot make sense of the deformation of the current conservative movement without understanding immigration. And one cannot grasp the nature of immigration without understanding anxiety. Like most political issues today, the topic of immigration is bathed in anxiety - for everyone on all sides. Curtis draws these connections, with the ultimate aim to show that Christians can uniquely contribute to the conversation about immigration because we have uniquely good news about anxiety. This episode draws from Curtis’ talk at a convening of the National Immigration Forum in Ohio that included local pastors and civic leaders.
