This conversation feels like a homecoming.

Alexis Busetti — co-author of Migration: Experiencing God’s Care for Immigrants — was the very first guest on The Call to Love Experience, and we gathered again for a conversation that feels both full-circle and deeply timely.

Together we’ll explore what it means to cultivate the heart of a migrant — to see migration not as a problem, but as a sacred practice of Love in motion.

As the United States approaches Thanksgiving, we’re invited to reexamine what “home,” “land,” and “gratitude” truly mean. Through the lens of migration, we’ll explore how Love moves us from possession to participation, from dominance to solidarity, from myth to truth.

Together, we’ll ask:

What does it mean to cultivate the heart of a migrant in a culture built on settlement?

How can the practice of Love help us decolonize our understanding of belonging?

This conversation bridges our collective stories of journeying — from the desert mothers and fathers to the diaspora, to the people of Palestine today.

We’ll reflect on how movement, displacement, and hospitality form us to become more like Love. Because migration isn’t just a change of place — it’s a change of heart.

Step into a reflective space where Love is not just an idea, but a practice. Let’s reimagine what it means to come home to Love. 💗

We’re launching Season 4 of The Call to Love Experience with a powerful conversation with Bishop Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and beloved voice of Love in our time.

Together, we explore what it means to cultivate a life rooted in Love—one that is both deeply personal and boldly public. Bishop Curry reflects on his lifelong commitment to the way of Jesus, the discipline of spiritual practices, and the call to embody Love in a world hungry for healing.

Whether you remember him from his unforgettable sermon at the Royal Wedding or from his writings in Love is the Way and The Power of Love, this conversation invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover the fire of Love that nothing can extinguish.

Join us as we begin this season’s journey of practicing Love, not as an idea, but as a way of life.
