Summary

This week David and Curtis are joined by Eric Costanzo, a Southern Baptist pastor from Tulsa, Oklahoma who has led his own congregation in the practice of welcoming refugees and immigrants in their community. Eric is also the co-author of the book "Inalienable: How Marginalized Kingdom Voices Can Help Save the American Church". Join us for this challenging discussion that, based on the number of times it's mentioned in scripture (plus Jesus' own experience as a displaced refugee), is an issue near to God's own heart.

-The Story Behind DeSantis's Migrant Flights to Martha's Vineyard (New York Times)

-Inalienable: How Marginalized Kingdom Voices Can Help Save the American Church by Eric Costanzo, Daniel Yang, and Matthew Soerens

-"I Was a Stranger…" 40 Days of Scripture and Prayer - Bible App Reading Plan
