  • Finding Joy When the Immigration Headlines Feel Heavy with Stephen and Susan Beck

    Finding Joy When the Immigration Headlines Feel Heavy with Stephen and Susan Beck
    Oct 8 2026

    How do you stay informed about immigration without becoming overwhelmed, angry, or numb? When the headlines keep bringing more fear, policy changes, and stories of suffering, it can feel impossible to look away without becoming indifferent, but just as impossible to keep absorbing it all. And somewhere in the middle of that tension is another question: where do we find hope and even joy when the hard things are still happening?

    In this episode, we’re joined by Stephen and Susan Beck, who have spent decades living, serving, and building Christian community across cultures in Canada, Germany, and now Minneapolis. They share what they’ve learned from welcoming immigrants and refugees into their church and home, what their congregation did when people in their community were afraid to leave their homes, and why hospitality is about much more than simply helping someone in need.

  • Walking Both Sides of the Border with Michael DeBruhl

    Walking Both Sides of the Border with Michael DeBruhl
    Oct 1 2026

    What comes to mind when you hear the words the border? Maybe it’s walls, barbed wire, Border Patrol agents, or families waiting to be processed. But behind those familiar images are human beings on every side, and a reality that’s much more complicated than the slogans we hear about securing, closing, or opening the border.

    In this episode, we’re joined by Michael DeBruhl, who spent 26 years as a U.S. Border Patrol Agent before eventually becoming director of the migrant shelter at Sacred Heart Church in El Paso. Michael takes us inside the day-to-day reality of Border Patrol, shares what decades of encounters with migrants taught him about the people crossing the border and the officers enforcing the law, and explains what “secure the border” actually means from someone who spent his career doing that work.

  • The Immigration Waiting Game: What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes with Mike Valverde

    The Immigration Waiting Game: What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes with Mike Valverde
    Sep 24 2026

    What does it actually mean to wait on an immigration decision when you have no idea how long the wait will last? A work permit, green card, interview, travel permission, or family reunification can sit somewhere inside what Ashley calls the “nebulous black hole” of immigration processing, while life keeps moving outside of it.

    In this episode, we’re joined by Mike Valverde, former Associate Director of Field Operations for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Mike takes us behind the scenes of what happens after an immigration application is filed, why so much of the processing time is simply waiting for a human to reach the case, how applications move through USCIS, and why two seemingly similar cases can take very different amounts of time.
