Intro

Is border security truly biblical? At least in the way in which this administration is advocating? In this compelling episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim tackle this pressing question with thoughtful analysis and deep theological reflection. Exploring passages like Romans 13 and Leviticus 19:34, they examine the intersection of faith and politics, addressing claims about the Bible's stance on border security and justice. Together, they navigate key cultural challenges, unpacking how scripture is often used—or misused—in political debates.

This episode dives into the role of the church in society, highlighting the importance of cruciformity, compassion, and justice in how Christians respond to immigration and broader governance issues. The hosts challenge listeners to rethink assumptions, engage critically with scripture, and consider how the teachings of Jesus call us to uphold human dignity in all circumstances.

Join the conversation as we explore how faith intersects with cultural issues, and how humility, curiosity, and critical thinking can guide us in pursuing justice and embodying the upside-down kingdom of God.
