NEW SEASON

Far from Home with Mabel Ninan Podcast

When I first started Far from Home, my focus was helping Christians think biblically about immigration and immigrants. That remains part of the conversation, but God has expanded my vision.

At the heart of this podcast is a deeper calling: to remind us that we are citizens of heaven and challenge us to live faithfully as Christ’s ambassadors on earth.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to see our faith, priorities, relationships, culture, and calling through the lens of eternity—and to live with the hope, courage, and conviction that come from knowing this world is not our ultimate home.

Latest Book

Drawing from her personal experience as an immigrant and by examining the lives of biblical heroes, Mabel Ninan sheds light on how to find meaning and satisfaction in life as foreigners on earth and citizens of heaven.
