    Inside the Work of an Immigration Attorney with Zainab Khan | Tiny Pulpit Talks: 062
    2026/07/27

    In this episode of Tiny Pulpit Talks, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald sits down with Zainab Khan, Managing Attorney of the Immigration Detention Project at Texas A&M University School of Law, for a conversation about immigration detention, faith, and justice.

    Zainab explains how attorneys are using federal habeas petitions to challenge prolonged immigration detention, why outcomes vary across Texas courts, and the kinds of cases her team is seeing under current immigration policies. Drawing on her experience as a former federal public defender and the daughter of Pakistani immigrants, she shares what called her to this work and how her Muslim faith sustains her in the face of injustice.

    Together, they explore the role of advocacy, the importance of hope, and how ordinary people can help support immigrants navigating an increasingly difficult legal system.

    Topics include:

    Immigration detention and habeas petitions
    Changes to bond hearings under current immigration policy
    Faith in the face of injustice Immigration law in Texas
    How attorneys and volunteers can get involved

  • Faith in the Public Square with Rev. Mara Richards Bim | Tiny Pulpit Talks: 061

    Faith in the Public Square with Rev. Mara Richards Bim | Tiny Pulpit Talks: 061
    2026/07/21
    What does ministry look like when your pulpit is a newspaper column? In this episode of Tiny Pulpit Talks, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald sits down with Rev. Mara Richards Bim — pastor, spiritual director, and journalist — for a conversation about practicing faith outside the sanctuary. Mara traces her path from founding a Dallas theater company, to seminary, to breaking some of the most consequential immigration stories in North Texas. Along the way, she and TJ find the thread connecting the minister and the reporter: the discipline of sitting with hard things and refusing to look away. They talk about: Cry Havoc Theater, and how interview-based storytelling led to journalism Writing for Baptist News Global as a Clemons Fellow Tracing attempted property purchases in Hutchins, Texas, back to the federal government The movement of detained people through Dallas Love Field — and why that story hasn't gained the same traction What clergy witnessed together on the front lines in Minneapolis Covering CPAC, and the toll of bearing witness to hate Why spiritual care has to include care for the body Faith voices in the public square, and reclaiming ground from Christian nationalism How any calling — not just ministry — can be a place where your faith shows up About Rev. Mara Richards Bim: Rev. Mara Richards Bim is a pastor, writer and spiritual director. Mara graduated from SMU's Perkins School of Theology in 2024 with a Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree and a Certificate in Spiritual Direction.
