Executive-order travel ban: Christians, refugees, and the government's role

• How should Christians respond to refugee admissions and a travel ban on people from Muslim-majority countries when security is a concern?

The hosts turn to Mike — named on-air as bringing the topic — who frames the presidential executive order restricting travel and immigration from seven Middle Eastern countries as genuinely gray for a Christian: the personal call to welcome the sojourner versus the government's job to protect citizens. One host draws a church/government line (the church shows God's kindness to the least of these; the government wields lawful authority), another wears 'two hats' — American citizen and Christ follower — without resolving the tension. Discussion covers poor implementation, the refugee vetting process, fear-driven reactions, Starbucks' pledge to hire refugees, and a closing argument that the Trump presidency is an opportunity for the church to act where it controls rather than waste energy trying to reverse a monolith.
