PT22- Jalil Dawood - Pop Talk TV

What does it really mean to be a refugee—and how should Christians respond?
In this powerful and timely Pop Talk episode, co-hosts Dr. Lisa Burkhardt-Worley, Dr. Michelle Burden, and Renee Rollins welcome Pastor Jalil Dawood, an Iraqi refugee turned U.S. citizen, author, and pastor of the Arabic Church of Dallas. Jalil shares his gripping personal story of fleeing war-torn Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War, arriving in America as a frightened teenager, and eventually coming to faith in Christ.
Now, decades later, Jalil is a bold advocate for balanced immigration reform—calling for compassion toward innocent refugees while upholding the need for strong border protections. He offers a deeply human perspective on why America must distinguish between those seeking refuge and those who seek harm, and how the church—not just the government—must rise to meet this moment.
With insights from his book The Refugee: A Story of God’s Grace and Hope, Pastor Jalil reminds us that God often uses hardship to draw people to Himself—and that every refugee is a soul with a story, a purpose, and divine potential.
