Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now.

🎧 Episode Summary
In this powerful episode, Bruce Reyes-Chow speaks with Alix Dick and Antero Garcia, the folks behind The Cost of Being Undocumented: One Woman’s Reckoning with America's Inhumane Math. The book explores the emotional, financial, and systemic burdens placed on undocumented immigrants—and the human stories that make those costs real.
Bruce, Alix, and Antero dig into:
📚 The origin story behind their collaborative nonfiction project
💵 The hidden costs undocumented immigrants face in education, healthcare, housing, and safety
🧮 Why “inhumane math” is more than just a metaphor
💡 How storytelling and data can work together to inspire change
👩🏽🏫 Antero’s personal lens as an educator and writer
🧠 Alix’s process of transforming pain and policy into a compelling narrative
It’s a heartfelt and thoughtful conversation about justice, narrative power, and reclaiming humanity in dehumanizing systems.
