Matthew Soerens joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss the intersection of immigration policy and human trafficking, exploring how vulnerable immigration status increases the risk of exploitation and trafficking. Matthew Soerens Matthew Soerens is vice President of Advocacy and Policy at World Relief. He has dedicated his career to responding to the needs of immigrants and refugees through a biblical lens of justice and compassion. He also serves as national coordinator for the Evangelical Immigration table, and he co-authored Seeking Refuge on the shores of the Global Refugee Crisis. Key Points Human trafficking involves people forced to work under fraud or coercion, while smuggling refers to bringing someone across a border unlawfully - these terms are often conflated but represent different crimes that can sometimes overlap. Migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers are particularly vulnerable to trafficking because they're in unfamiliar cultural settings where they don't know the rules, their rights, or the laws, making them less likely to report exploitation. Current immigration enforcement approaches that create widespread fear in immigrant communities can inadvertently increase trafficking vulnerability by making people afraid to report crimes or seek help from law enforcement. California Republican legislators recently wrote a letter asking for more discernment in immigration enforcement, focusing on those convicted of violent crimes rather than broad sweeps that detain people who haven't committed crimes. The U.S. immigration system's complexity rivals tax law, with at least 18 different visa types, making it difficult for immigrants to understand their legal status, especially when policies change rapidly. Recent policy changes have left many Afghans, Haitians, and Venezuelans without legal status overnight, despite having previously worked lawfully with valid documentation. Employers who fail to file necessary visa extensions can create situations where workers become vulnerable to labor trafficking through coercion and threats of deportation. The lack of immigrant visa pathways for non-highly skilled workers forces many into temporary status or unauthorized situations, creating dependency on employers that can lead to exploitation. Unaccompanied children are among the most vulnerable to human trafficking, and recent legislation may undermine important protections established by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Churches and community organizations can play a vital role by building relationships with immigrants, providing practical support, and advocating for policies that recognize human dignity while affirming the rule of law. Biblical principles call for special concern for "the orphan, the widow, and the foreigner" - groups that remain vulnerable to trafficking today both in the U.S. and globally. Effective anti-trafficking work requires understanding the connection between immigration vulnerability and trafficking risk, as many trafficking victims are immigrants who lack legal protections.

In No Holes Barred, podcast powerhouses Mandii B and Weezy WTF — the unapologetic voices behind the hit show Whorible Decisions, now Decisions decisions  — deliver a raw, hilarious, and unfiltered memoir-meets-manifesto that redefines how we talk about sex, relationships, and womanhood.Told in alternating voices, Mandii and Weezy pull back the curtain on their personal journeys, from their upbringings and early sexual awakenings to navigating toxic relationships, career reinvention, and growing a sex-positive media empire. With raunchy storytelling, vulnerable confessions, and a hefty dose of humor, they challenge societal taboos and offer permission for readers — especially Black women — to own their pleasure, embrace their messiness, and stand fully in their truth.

In this episode, Antonio and Ward talk about the challenge of photographing in new places. Antonio's just moved to Lincoln, Nebraska and is still unpacking boxes, figuring out where to store his gear, and trying to spot what's interesting to shoot in a much quieter environment than New York. He shares how different it feels to look for subjects like grain elevators, small-town architecture, or even backyard birds, and mentions playing around with his Fuji X-Half and a little drone to stay inspired. He also talks about noticing the slower pace of life, meeting friendly neighbors, and thinking about how he might approach more deliberate projects like set-up portraits in a community where people seem more open.   Ward describes his recent nights photographing the Calgary Stampede, explaining how he focuses on close-up, expressive portraits and uses different cameras to stay low-key in crowds. He talks about the energy of the event, shooting into the night with carnival lights, and building a long-term series he can add to each year. They talk about the tension between shooting things that have been done before and bringing your own perspective. Ward encourages just picking something and getting started, and they discuss ideas like making connections through local coffee shops, setting up portrait sessions, and simply finding a way to feel at home with the camera in a new environment.   Photo Gallery: https://adobe.ly/4kGspYf Recent Substack Articles: From the F Train to Farmland - Part 1 From F-Train to Farmland - Part 2 Point of Departure: Japan   Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Slacker had an awkward run-in with a coworker...who ended up not being our coworker after all! What's your run-in with a stranger story?

Here is a fantastic episode by one of the world's leading Camus scholars, Dr. Simon Lea. The entire paper will be available in The Journal of Camus Studies. Below is the abstract of the paper:Albert Camus planned his works in cycles. Each were to contain an essay, a novel and plays. The first cycle wasconcerned with the absurd and the second with rebellion. Camus' life was tragically cut short in a motor accident before he could complete the third cycle. Between the second and third cycles, after the furore resulting from his publication of The Rebel, Camus wrote several texts that are not includedin his cyclical works. This paper is concerned with Camus' first cycle on the absurd and the following texts: The Myth of Sisyphus, The Stranger, Caligula and The Misunderstanding. In particular, I am interested in the role played by revelation in the communication of the absurd in these works. In this paper, I use the term 'revelation' in reference tomaking known something relating to the human condition via a process that is difficult or even impossible to understand. My argument is that Camus, drawing upon Nietzschean influences, is seeking in his first cycle to induce revelatoryexperiences in his readers in order to communicate ideas concerning the absurd.Please check out The Albert Camus Society.

Author Aatish Taseer, whose new book A Return To Self: Excursions in Exile comes out this week, did not meet his father, Salman Taseer, the former Governor of Punjab, Pakistan until he was 21 and their relationship was, to say the least, complicated. In 2009, he wrote a book about the experience, Stranger to History, about his journey to meet his father that was also an exploration of what it means to be a Muslim in the 21st Century. Shortly after Aatish made contact with his father, in early 2011, Governor Taseer was assassinated by his own bodyguard for pardoning a woman who had been sentenced to death for allegedly insulting the Prophet Mohammed. On this episode of Tell Me About Your Father, Aatish Taseer talks with Matt Phillp about his new book, the complicated response he continues to have to his father's violent assassination, the value and beauty of going on a pilgrimage, what it means to identify with a nation, and how it feels to have been ejected by one.Follow this podcast on Instagram hereFollow Matt Phillp hereFollow Erin Hosier hereFollow Elizabeth Thompson here This is a public episode.

THE MIND IS BURNING is the continued story of the Hirsch family whom we first met in the beloved cult podcast, Dear Franklin Jones. Stranger than fiction, this audiobook memoir follows Jonathan Hirsch's childhood in a cult in Northern California, experience caring for his father battling dementia, and the complicated journey of losing a loved one who mistreated you.On April 9th, 2019, Jonathan got the dreaded call: his father Thomas had been rushed to the ER. He'd known for a while that Thomas's health was in decline, but at this pivotal moment, he had no choice but to step into the role of caretaker—a role Thomas himself was never able to grasp.Thomas was a Hungarian refugee turned spiritual seeker, and Jonathan was along for the ride as his parents chased the high of enlightenment. Thomas's quest eventually led the family to Franklin Jones: known as either a charismatic, eccentric guru or a cult leader and sexual predator, depending on whether you were inside or outside his orbit. Although Jonathan left home the day he turned eighteen, almost twenty years later, he was pulled back into the chaotic fold when Thomas was diagnosed with dementia. This poetic yet propulsive audiobook memoir was created for the listening experience given Hirsch's expertise as an expert aural storytelling, and poses the question: What do we owe each other as family? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

From Stranger to Citizen: The Spiritual Bond of Believers The Homily begins by reflecting on the deep bond felt when encountering someone from one's home country while abroad, . . . . . . likening it to the spiritual connection shared by Christians as fellow citizens of God's kingdom. Drawing from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians, the Homily highlights that believers are no longer strangers, but members of a spiritual household built on the apostles with Christ as the cornerstone. This shared citizenship brings both privilege and responsibility . . . especially the commandment to love God and neighbor. Community and Its Impact on Our Faith The Homily also centers on St. Thomas the Apostle, emphasizing his honest questioning and desire for understanding as a path to deeper faith. It underscores the importance of community in fostering and strengthening faith, as shown when Thomas encounters the risen Christ only after rejoining the other disciples. The homily concludes by stressing that faith grows through communal sharing, trust, and belief . . . even without physical proof. Believing leads to seeing, and those who believe without seeing are truly blessed. Listen to: From Stranger to Citizen: The Spiritual Bond of Believers -------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily And when we believe we move, it is with this that things become clear later on. The very first thing is to believe. Blessed are those that have not seen but believe. And why are they blessed? Because they shall see. Blessed are those that have not seen, but believe because surely, they will see. -------------------------------------------------------------- Saint Thomas: Spanish Painter: Diego Velazquez: 1618 -------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: John 20: 24-29 First Reading: Ephesians 2: 19-22

Federal Colony Station #1 sits at the heart of New Ronne. It's where Avis and Devon Merlot work, alongside their friendly server maintenance droid, “Neil”, who's always happy to help. This Colony, in the long thawed Antarctic, is the only place all three of them have ever called home. It's where Avis and Devon care for their son and where Neil cares for his servers, and it's full of families living their lives as it continues to grow every day. Times are good in New Ronne, on a surface level, but things are never as good as they seem. When a strange traveler appears in New Ronne, bringing bad omens and wielding unnatural powers, something stirs beneath the surface. The Stranger shows Avis, Devon, and Neil that they're all in for a bad time.Music and Sound Effects:“Intro” by Abigail McDonald“Eyes That Follow” by Abigail McDonald“Noisy Server Computer” by the_toilet_guy at (Freesound.org)“First Love” by Mark Wilson X at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Bonus: All in a Garden Green (Orchestral Version)” by Axletree at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Mysterious Ambiance Music” by TheoJT at (Freesound.org)“Gloomy Reverie” by Universfield at (Freesound.org)“Winterstorm II: A Cinematic And Ambient Soundscape” by kjartan_abel at (Freesound.org)“End Credits” by Paweł Feszczuk at Freemusicarchive.com (CC BY 4.0)“Instrumental Mystic Song For Paranormal Videos” by Universfield at (Freesound.org)

"Remember to shake a stranger's hand. You might accidentally make a new friend." --Bill Weaver It's been a heavy week amid the Independence Day goings-on, trucking news and all the rest, but start this Overdrive Radio episode with a song with a whole lot of joy, sure to get the spirits up, as it's writer, singer and performer -- the great Bill Weaver -- told the tale of its origins in the always-headed-home aspects of work OTR, since the moment he conceived it: “I'm Rollin'.”: https://www.overdriveonline.com/14889662 Yet it also brings a bit of a tear to the eye this week. Bill Weaver passed away Monday, June 30. For "Long Haul Paul" Marhoefer, the news came by way of a mutual friend, Tony Justice, who shared his own recollections of Bill. Justice's words I know ring out for so many who knew Weaver: “I can't even begin to find the words to express what he meant to me,” Justice said. “Best word would simply be friend, family kinda friend, my best friend. ... Hard telling the miles me and ol' Bill covered while trucking and talking on the phone, a few hundred thousand easily, or how many times he made me laugh. He is irreplacable, and will leave an empty spot in my heart that will never be able to be filled again.” And he finished this way: "Till we embrace again on the other side I'll be jamming your music, brother. This aint good-bye, its a see you later.” Weaver leaves behind his wife, CarolAnn, and so many friends and family members. Our hearts are with them all no doubt. In the podcast, celebrate with us some of what Bill Weaver leaves behind, with reairs of two podcasts featuring his "Every mile I drive" and "Burning the old school down" records, from 2016 and 2018 respectively. CarolAnn Weaver said she's planning a memorial service for Bill likely for early August, and had Weaver's International in the shop for service looking at a likely sale fairly soon. It wasn't due for service, she said, yet it'd been sitting for a year. Questions about the rig CarolAnn referred to Taylor Barker, fellow trucker-songwriter and also a great friend to Weaver. The truck, CarolAnn said, was Weaver's pride and joy. CarolAnn offered these words to mark his memory. “Bill was very special character who impacted everyone he met,” she said. “He never met a stranger and greeted everyone with open arms of compassion. I am so thankful and blessed that I had him in my life for 16 years and he helped me become a better and stronger person. He helped me find my way back to God, and to me that is priceless. I want to say thank you to all his fans that supported his love of music and appreciated his honest, heart-written words he shared through songwriting. He had a brilliant mind, so smart yet humble. I kid with everyone that he was my encyclopedia.” CarolAnn went on to reference something Tony Justice also noted in his recollection of Weaver. It's true that he said it near every time we ever spoke to him in person, most often delivered right before you were ready to part ways: “Remember to shake a stranger's hand. You might accidentally make a new friend.” Bill, thank you for being one to us, that's certain. Long Haul Paul's tribute to Weaver: https://overdriveonline.com/15750036

If you think about the 1920s in the United States, a few things might come to mind—jazz, prohibition, Babe Ruth, and, right at the end, the Wall Street Crash. And if you think of crime, you probably think of Al Capone, bootlegging, and fast-talking wise guys with Tommy guns. But the 1920s were also in some ways the nation's introduction to crimes that could shock and horrify the entire country. Leopold and Loeb's thrill killing, the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, the utter horror of child-killer and cannibal Albert Fish. And possibly the most prolific killer of the decade was a man whose strange desires sent him on a trail of murder all across a continent.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

And on that day, Bluebelle Event Venue in Bemidji had a wedding. Amy and Levi Chandler were expecting 265 guests. The fallout from the storm made it seem almost impossible to pull off the big day. The caterers had no electricity or water to cook with. The florist was trapped at her house behind fallen trees in the driveway. And the wedding venue itself had no power or water. In our series Thank You, Stranger, we talked to Jessa Solheim, an owner of Bluebelle Event Venue, and the bride, Amy, about how the community came together to make sure the Chandlers could tie the knot.

Lana and Nick have been dating for two years, but Lana tells us that they did have a five month break and have been currently dating for the past nine months. Lana tells us that they originally took a  break because they were arguing all the time, but they got back together after Nick admitted that he had worked on some of the issues they previously had. Lana tells us that things had been great recently, but this past weekend they went out for drinks and a stranger asked Nick “this is her” which weirded Lana out. Lana asked who it was and Nick tried to brush it off and now Lana is worried something else is going on with Nick.  We call Nick pretending to offer him a free bouquet of flowers and when we ask him who he wants them sent to, Nick says he doesn't want to send them to his girlfriend, but to someone named Jamie. Find out what's really going on in this week's War Of The Roses!

In today's Morning Manna, we unpack the entire weight of a single verse—Proverbs 6:1. What seems like a simple handshake or promise can quickly become a snare for your future. Solomon warns us about the hidden dangers of becoming surety for another person, whether in finances, relationships, or careless commitments. This isn't just ancient financial advice—it's wisdom for guarding your freedom, your integrity, and your future. Before you make promises, co-sign loans, or obligate yourself in ways God never intended—pause and listen. One verse.

Welcome back FAB FAM! This week, the ladies reluctanly reviewed Tyler Perry's straw. In Straw, Tyler Perry delivers a tense psychological drama that explores the breaking point of a seemingly ordinary woman pushed to her emotional and moral limits. The story centers on a hardworking, mild-mannered single mother who has spent years quietly enduring life's burdens—strained relationships, financial hardship, and systemic inequities. But when one final, seemingly minor injustice occurs—the "last straw"—it unleashes a chain of events that challenges her identity, ethics, and the limits of believability! Tap in to hear Moni and Kat break down this melodramatic mess of a movie! Cheers!! *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

BBV is back on Hamster! And rounding off our six Stranger commentaries we start with The Terror Game! Saul & Egan are on the scene! Louise Jameson is running a nightclub! And is this The Stranger's true origin story?

“They would take you around, introduce you to all of their contacts, translate for you, and help you put together the story,” says scholar-journalist Kira Brunner Don in this week's episode of The World in Time. “And I often felt like, you pay them, of course, a day rate, but there was this understanding that real news was made by American journalists who flew in and told you what was what. All of us were depending on journalists from the country, or writers from the country, who knew it far better than we did and really had the context and the sensibility. But there was this unspoken rule that they'll be biased. I really felt like I wanted to create something that instead focused on the actual voices of the people who live in the countries we're covering.” This week on the podcast Donovan Hohn hosts a two-part episode. First, he speaks with Kira Brunner Don, former executive editor of Lapham's Quarterly, about the making of our first issue, States of War, from Winter 2008, and about the magazine Brunner Don edits now, Stranger's Guide. In part two of this episode, Hohn speaks with Nathan Brown, translator of Verso's new dual-language edition of Charles Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil, about the history of Baudelaire's magnum opus. Brown gives us a guided tour of “Recueillement,” the Baudelaire poem read at Lewis Lapham's memorial service, which Brown has translated anew for Lapham's Quarterly, under the title “Introspection.”
