In this week’s podcast episode with Jennie Murray, we were reminded that before we sort people into categories—citizen or stranger, documented or undocumented—Scripture invites us to see a deeper reality:
“You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people.” — Ephesians 2:19
Jennie helped us see how easily we reduce immigration to politics or policy, when at its core, the Christian vision begins with identity:
Every person is an image-bearer.
Every person is someone Christ has drawn into His household.
Belonging is not earned—it’s given.
As we continue engaging complex conversations, may we let this truth shape our posture: We are fellow citizens in God’s family first.
We often hear, “People should just obey the law.” But as Jennie Murray explains in this week’s Good Faith Podcast episode, that assumes something most Americans don’t realize:
You can’t talk about obeying the law without understanding the system itself.
Is it functioning?
Is it equitable?
Does it prioritize the most vulnerable?
Right now, the answer to many of those questions is no.
Jumping straight from “welcome people” to “enforce the laws” skips over the messy reality of a system that often doesn’t offer workable legal pathways at all.
Jennie invites us to slow down, understand the landscape, and approach this issue with both compassion and wisdom.
We’re often told the immigration debate forces a choice: compassion or the rule of law.
But in this week’s conversation with Jennie Murray, we’re invited to slow down and step back.
Scripture may not outline American immigration policy—but it speaks clearly about our posture toward people made in the image of God. Before we argue policy or pick a side, Jennie reminds us to remember who we are… and the Kingdom we belong to.
It’s a grounding, hopeful reframing for anyone navigating faith, politics, and immigration in a way that honors both truth and love.

Our third and final episode in our immigration series is here.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored how immigration is shaping the local church, the global refugee crisis, and now—how national policy fits into the bigger picture. As Curtis shares in the intro, our goal in these conversations is always the same: to talk with people who bring both widely respected expertise and a thoughtful, lived commitment to following Jesus.
This week, that guide is our friend Jennie Murray, President of the National Immigration Forum (@forumtogether).
Together, we take on the questions so many of us quietly carry:
• How do Christians hold compassion and the rule of law together?
• What’s actually broken in our immigration system?
• What myths are shaping our imagination—and what’s the real story?
• And where do people of faith fit in the work ahead?
This episode is not about taking sides. It’s about slowing down, asking better questions, naming difficult truths, and engaging a complex issue the way we hope to approach all things… in good faith.
The episode is live now—wherever you listen to podcasts.
We hope it sparks thoughtful conversation in your home, your church, and your community.
So much of our modern conversation about power, politics, and “spiritual warfare” has drifted from the heart of Scripture.
This carousel pulls out a few of the insights from our conversation with N.T. Wright—a reminder that the Church is called to reflect Christ’s victory, not to grasp for control.
If you’re longing to make sense of the world through a lens rooted in Jesus, this episode is for you.
“Christian” was never meant to signal a defensive posture or a bunker mentality.
It points us instead to the Psalm 72 way of life—one shaped by care for the poor, the widow, the fatherless, and the stranger.
This is the kind of faith that still matters.
The kind that looks like Jesus.
🎧 From our conversation with N.T. Wright on the Good Faith Podcast.
“Money, sex, and power” drive the world—but N.T. Wright reminds us the Gospel offers a new way to be human. In this clip from the Good Faith podcast, he unpacks the radical claims of Ephesians: the church is God’s artwork, meant to reveal His wisdom even to the powers and principalities. Caesar—and every other false god—needs to know: Jesus is Lord, and they aren’t.
Discover the new creation, resurrection life, and why the church matters more than ever. Don`t miss our latest episode of The Good Faith Podcast with N.T. Wright.
“Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” — Romans 12:9
As friends who follow Jesus, we’re reminded that real formation begins with sincerity — a love that isn’t performative or loud, but rooted, humble, and real.
This is part of why we’ve stepped more fully into the name Good Faith: before we can offer anything meaningful to the world, we must first become a people shaped by the goodness of Jesus — people marked by genuine love, curiosity, and hope.
This week, may we hold fast to what is good… and live it out in good faith.
N.T. Wright lays down a challenge: if we truly lived out the New Testament vision of unity in Jesus, the powers of this world—whatever form "Caesar" takes—would have reason to tremble. In this clip from the Good Faith podcast, Wright calls the church to rediscover its radical, collective witness.
Watch more of N.T. Wright’s insights on the power of the church, the principalities and powers, and why Christian unity still matters on our latest episode of The Good Faith Podcast:
“What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
CS Lewis captures the moment we all long for — the moment of realizing we’re not alone. That’s the heart behind Good Faith.
A place to gather around the campfire, to name our questions openly, and to discover that others are wondering, wrestling, and hoping right alongside us.
As we step into this new season, our prayer is that Good Faith feels like that kind of place — where friendship is born, belonging grows, and followers of Jesus make sense of the world together.
This week marks our first episode since our organization adopted the name many of you already know: Good Faith. The podcast hasn’t changed—but now the whole ecosystem behind it carries the same identity and the same hopeful mission.
Curtis sits down with N.T. Wright for a rich conversation through Ephesians—its vision of the church as a small working model of new creation, its critique of Christian nationalism, and its` invitation to stand together in truth, unity, and love.
It’s a conversation that beautifully embodies what we mean by a good faith: thoughtful, rooted in Jesus, and lived out in community. And we’re grateful to have Bishop Wright as our first guest under our new name and new look.

The questions have been rolling in… so we put together a quick FAQ to walk you through why Redeeming Babel is now Good Faith.
At the heart of this change is a simple truth: before we can hope to influence the wider world, we must rediscover a good faith—a faith rooted in Jesus, grounded in humility, and genuinely life-giving to our neighbors.
The name is new. The mission isn’t.
The After Party, The Good Faith Podcast, The Anxiety Opportunity, our courses, and future projects now all live under one unified home: Good Faith.
We’re grateful for every friend who has walked with us, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead — together, in Good Faith.
