THE UN-SILENT CHURCHAuthor: Roosevelt Community Church
The church was established as a society of people representing the person, work and character of Jesus; his voice to the powerful and the powerless, his presence with insiders and outsiders, and his identity as the representation of God, the reconciler of all things, and the savior and redeemer of the world. Regrettably, the church has also garnered a reputation as being silent on issues where we shouldve spoken, and being complicit among the pain for which we should have helped heal, resist and taken a stand. The church needs access points that reflect Gods true point of view about certain issues in a way that demonstrates a relational, informed and compassionate response to the things happening in our world today. Our hope is to be among the list of podcasts Christians subscribe to because of our multi-ethinic, biblically-faithful, and culturally-accurate voice on the issues people care about most.

What would Jesus do about ICE?
Episode 57
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
When immigration & customs enforcement (ICE) is marked by fear, violence, and dehumanization, how should Christians respond? As ICE raids continue to dominate the headlines and widen division, in this episode we try to take a step back to ask what faithfulness to God looks like in this moment. There's definitely tension between respecting the law, loving the foreigner and immigrant, and speaking truth to power; also refusing false dichotomies offered by political extremes to consider what justice, compassion, and love in action actually require. If you want more context about what's happening, included is further reading to get your started. Biblical precedent for how God sees foreigners and Immigrants: Leviticus 19:33-34 Leviticus 23:22 ---------- VISIT US IN PERSON Roosevelt Community Church 924 N 1st St, Phoenix, AZ 85004 Sunday Service: 10:00 AM rooseveltchurch.org CONNECT WITH US: 📧 Newsletter: Text "newsletter" to 855-834-2593 📝 Want to connect with us?

Located at the intersection of Roosevelt and 1st Street in the Roosevelt Arts District in Downtown Phoenix. RCC is a multiethnic congregation gathering every Sunday, with a unique voice crossing theology, street, and family. We make content to help extend the message of the gospel everywhere people are, far beyond Sunday morning. We share theological social commentary on a number of issues and current events, so that as much as it depends on us, we do not fail to speak on matters that have gone unspoken from churches historically. We believe the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom, and all its righteousness is thorough and complete as the authority to help us navigate our world, so we want to be faithful in providing everyone who listens a clear path to follow the way of Jesus.
