In this episode, Maya sits down with Jasmin Sosa for an urgent and deeply practical conversation about immigration, deportation, and the role of the Church in moments of crisis.

Jasmin serves in missions and is part of Undivided, a faith-driven organization equipping churches to respond to injustice with courage and clarity. Together, Maya and Jasmin discuss how churches can protect parishioners from detainment and deportation, what faithful Christian witness looks like in the face of ICE enforcement, and how the Church has historically responded to immigration policy — both faithfully and inadequately.

They also address:

• How congregations can prepare for immigration enforcement

• The biblical foundation for welcoming the stranger

• The difference between political partisanship and Christian conviction

• Practical steps churches can take right now

• The emotional and spiritual toll of living under threat of deportation

If you are a pastor, ministry leader, or church member asking, "What can we actually do?" — this episode offers clarity and direction. This is a conversation about courage, compassion, and what obedience looks like when our neighbors are at risk.

Our culture is constantly changing around us. A new story, new song, or new idea is being tweeted, posted or published every other minute. As the world changes rapidly around us, how do we respond? How do we stay rooted in our faith amidst a myriad of conversations? How do we stay grounded in truth when so much in the media is manipulated? How do we talk about our beliefs in a culture that may not feel the same way?

Conversations about faith and culture meet right here on Teaology, the podcast. Teaology is all about communities coming together through conversation. We find common ground when we communicate well.
