Send us a textAs we see from Genesis to Revelation, God deeply loves the nations, and His overarching plan throughout history involves them. But how does that shape our understanding of immigration today? Join us as we explore the intricate relationship between nations and immigration, tackling the mass migration trends shaping our present moment and the foundations behind God’s heart to bless the nations.We examine God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12 as a springboard for the discussion, “and all nations on earth will be blessed through you,” pointing out the parallels to the Great Commission entrusted to each of us in the New Testament. Looking at the historical contrast between nations and empires, we ask: Should Christians support deportation? How do we balance love for immigrants with the responsibility to maintain order? In a culture that often conflates compassion with open borders, we explore what it means to uphold both biblical justice and mercy.Through Scripture, history, personal anecdotes, and practical insights, we encourage listeners to thoughtfully engage with immigration in a way that blesses their nation and honors God’s design.Main Topics:God’s Heart for the Nations – How Scripture frames our understanding of national identity and immigration.Babel, Globalization, and Borders – What the Bible teaches about the integrity of nations.Justice, Mercy, and Order – A balanced and nuanced Christian approach to immigration policy.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn more about DNA’s free online Kingdomizer 101 Training: Truth and Transformation.

Send us a textShould Christians engage in politics? Of course, but how? In this episode, Richard Nelson, author of Christianity and Politics and President of The Commonwealth Policy Center, tackles this critical question. Historically and still today, Christians often fall into one of three inappropriate approaches to political engagement: they avoid politics as irrelevant to “more important” spiritual matters; strive for neutrality by avoiding alignment with any party or candidate; or they focus solely on allegiance to Jesus as King, seeking to ignore earthly government and rulers. Richard eloquently challenges these views, emphasizing how God's sovereignty extends to politics and culture. He highlights a biblical approach to issues like free speech, the sanctity of life, religious freedom, and fiscal responsibility. Like it or not, the Bible is deeply political, and its principles should guide all public engagement.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn more about DNA’s free online Kingdomizer 101 Training: Truth and Transformation.
