SNAKE 48: Should Christians Support Mass Deportations?

ATTN: Looks like we failed to change the question on the video overlay from Snake 47. Doh! We should hire professionals.

In this episode of Snake on the Table, we tackle the complex question: Should Christians support mass deportations? Join Tanner Cartwright and Jerry Doris from Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, as we explore the intersection of Christianity, immigration, and national identity. Are mass deportations un-Christian? How should believers balance compassion with the rule of law? What does the Bible say about nationhood, assimilation, and justice?

We dive deep into these pressing issues, sharing biblical insights, personal convictions, and practical perspectives on how to approach this hot-button topic as faithful Christians. Should Christians prioritize helping illegal immigrants, or does stewardship of national resources take precedence? How do we navigate the tension between extending grace and upholding the law? We also discuss the role of the church in ministering to immigrant communities while respecting legal frameworks.
