Nomadland: Houseless, Not Homeless (Hebrews 11:13-16)

After economic collapse destroys her town, Fern lives in her van, following seasonal work across the American West. She is not escaping life but embracing a different relationship to home. The Hebrews writer describes the faithful as strangers and exiles on earth who are longing for a better country. Fern's nomadism is not failure but pilgrimage. She carries her husband's memory, finds community among fellow travelers, and refuses to be defined by economic catastrophe. The film asks: what if home is not a place but a way of being present wherever you are? Abraham lived in tents. Fern lives in a van. Both are pilgrims toward a home not built with hands.
