The Everyday Peacemaking Podcast features the stories of Everyday Peacemakers who are embedded within a world divided by difference. In the face of conflict, injustice, and violence, we don’t get even, but get creative in love. We’re not professional humanitarians. We’re everyday people who are learning to see God and themselves in our other. We’re daring to step off the roads of comfort and immerse into reality. And we’re choosing to contend in collaborative and costly ways. Everyday Peacemakers are a part of a restorative revolution and these are our stories. This podcast is produced by peacemaking training organization, Global Immersion.

Immigration.
It feels like a lot has changed since we told the world to "give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...”
Today on the podcast, immigrant-turned-advocate, Samuel Tsoi, shares his belief in the power and importance of immigrants.
Originally born in Hong Kong, Samuel now lives in San Diego and works as a community organizer and advocate for refugees, migrants, and other new neighbors along the border. Why? Because he thinks we need a new way of seeing our new arrivals. As he put it:
“Part of this is my drive, being an immigrant. I want immigrants to not be presented in such a negative light in the media or seen as a problem but instead seen as an opportunity. And if we don’t take advantage of this opportunity, of having immigrants being in our cities, we’ll miss out. We should take advantage of the fact that people are coming, they’re here, they’re contributing, and they’re making out communities more dynamic.”

What does it mean for a Christian to be a patriot? How should the Church relate to the nation state, especially one as powerful as the United States?
In this episode, Jon Huckins shares two ways Christians often approach politics and then offers a third way he calls ‘a conflicted allegiance.’
At this critical moment in our nation’s history, we as the people of Jesus must pledge our allegiance first and foremost to the Kingdom of God. The only proper allegiance as US Americans is a conflicted one, allowing the values of the Kingdom to guide us and, at times, put us in opposition with our government as we vote, debate, and find a way forward together.
