(Note: I originally wrote this six years ago and was grateful to my younger self for her words when I found them again recently). I first started getting regular migraines 19 years ago after my dad died much too young from a rare form of cancer.

Listening to the exchange as a peaceful root director, I bristled. Listening as a human, I was sympathetic. The public, political, and rhetorical realms all feel profoundly...

This Q&A provides basic, trustworthy information that helps us separate myths from meaning. Whether you’re new to these questions or looking to deepen your understanding, you don’t need to have all the answers to move forward with confidence and compassion. By grounding ourselves in truth and working to see others as God sees them, we can engage in more productive, faith-filled discussions about immigration — and take small, steady steps toward a more just and welcoming world.

As I contemplated how to write a devotional that encompasses both the celebration of independence and the context of our current events,...
