Episode description

Todd and Carl, now officially an American citizen, dive into the challenging subject of immigration. Together, they explore the theological concept of the "order of love," its implications for prioritizing our obligations to others, and how this intersects with the responsibilities of the State versus the Church. 

The situation is complicated. How do we navigate? How do we develop a hierarchy of loves and obligations that is faithful to Scripture but also handles the complexities that Scripture throws up? – Carl Trueman

In other words, how do we balance our responsibilities to our neighbors and the laws of the land? With references to contemporary issues and personal anecdotes, this episode challenges listeners to consider their perspectives on immigration and community, as Christians and citizens.

We are pleased to award Mortification of Spin swag to three of our listeners, including a t-shirt, a baseball cap, and a mug! Congratulations to John T. from Brandon, MS, Matthew A. from Westfield, MA, and Gill M. from Washington, NJ!
