Jesus Was a Migrant - An Inside Look

Send us Fan Mail

What if the way we talk about immigration misses the heart of Jesus?

In this powerful episode of Colored Commentary, we sit down with Dr. Jemar Tisby and filmmaker Lauren Vernea to unpack their groundbreaking documentary Jesus Was a Migrant.

This conversation goes beyond politics and dives deep into theology, history, and real human stories—challenging how the Church understands immigration, justice, and what it truly means to follow Jesus.

In this episode, we explore:

Why the phrase “Jesus was a migrant” is both biblical and controversial
Real stories from asylum seekers at the border
How policy impacts people—not just headlines
The role of the Church in moments of injustice
Why this conversation is more urgent than ever

“If you don’t understand this, you won’t understand the political, relational, or spiritual reality of what’s happening.”

This isn’t about sides—it’s about seeing people, understanding Scripture, and asking hard questions about our faith in action.
