Words of Life: Weekly Christian Podcast with Testi... - The Human Stories Behind the Refugee Crisis

What would it take for you to leave everything behind? In this episode of Words of Life, our Biblical Justice Roundtable turns its attention to refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced families. Through powerful personal stories and biblical reflection, Major Sandra Pawar helps us move beyond headlines and stereotypes to better understand the realities that force millions of people around the world to flee their homes. Wars, persecution, violence, religious oppression, and humanitarian crises have caused countless families to leave behind their communities, careers, possessions, and loved ones in search of safety. Yet refugees are often misunderstood, politicized, or reduced to statistics rather than seen as individuals made in the image of God.
