Watch On-Demand: Karen Gonzalez

Author Karen Gonzalez joined us to discuss the intersection of faith and immigration in her book, “The God Who Sees: Immigrants, The Bible and the Journey to Belong

Mrs. Gonzalez offers a moving and persuasive analysis of immigration through a faith perspective, focusing on Biblical stories of migration: Abraham, Hagar, Joseph, Ruth and more. These intrepid heroes of the faith cross borders and seek refuge. As witnesses to God’s liberating power, they name the God they see at work, and they become grafted onto God’s family tree.” Watch the replay of this insightful conversation below.
